NBA 2K20 ratings for each Detroit Pistons player
By Ryan Love
Pistons’ offseason additions
Markieff Morris: 75 Overall
New addition Markieff Morris is expected to be one of the first men off the bench for the Pistons – and his rating in 2K20 matches those standards.

Morris matches fellow bench player Luke Kennard with a 75 overall rating.
The power forward and brother to former Piston Marcus Morris is expected to play a pivotal role as backup power forward – and could perhaps see some time as a small-ball center.

Morris suffered from injuries last season and bounced between a couple of teams before looking to prove himself again this season in Detroit.
Christian Wood: 74 Overall
A surprisingly high rating on the Pistons comes from one of their lesser-known newbies.
Big man Christian Wood comes to the Pistons with a fairly unproven path in the NBA, yet received a favorable 74 overall rating from the developers of 2K20.
Wood is on a non-guaranteed contract and could struggle to find minutes during the season sitting behind Markieff Morris in the rotation.

This rating honestly feels like some kind of oversight as Wood sits so close together with more established talents like Morris and Luke Kennard.
However, Wood’s last NBA action came in the form of eight games with the Pelicans in which he averaged 16.9 points and 7.9 rebounds per game. If that is the kind of production he is capable of for the Pistons, a 74 rating seems more fitting.
Tony Snell: 73 Overall
Of all the Pistons’ new additions, Tony Snell feels like the most predictable player when it comes to gauging his upcoming season.
The developers of NBA 2K20 established that same sentiment when they gave Snell a 73 overall rating for the upcoming game.
Snell is likely to continue to be what fans of the Bucks and Bulls saw from him before he made his way to Detroit – three-and-D.

Although he carries a lower rating than the likes of Morris, Wood, and Kennard, Snell is likely to find himself as the lowest-rated starter for the Pistons in 2K20.
In real-life gameplay, Snell is unlikely to serve as more than a role player who may have a notably good game given the opportunity.
However, in NBA 2K, he can be an easy target for players itching to let threes fly.
