Los Angeles Lakers combo guard Jordan Clarkson is not happy with his rating in NBA 2K18.

The Los Angeles Lakers have had a number of players reveal their ratings in NBA 2K18 on Twitter. Lonzo Ball has had the highest rating revealed on the team thus far, as he will be an 80 in the popular video game in his rookie season.

In addition to Ball, the other first round picks for the Lakers from the 2017 NBA Draft have also revealed their ratings. Las Vegas Summer League standout Kyle Kuzma will have a rating of 72. Shooting guard Josh Hart will be a 70. The Lakers will have a fun team to watch on television, but they may be a difficult team to find success with in the virtual world.

The ratings are something the rookies were very excited to share. Everyone wants to know what their rating will be in the game. Sometimes the players are very happy with the outcomes; other times, not so much.

One of the players that are unhappy with their rating for NBA 2K18 is combo guard, Jordan Clarkson. Clarkson revealed his rating, which is a 77, on his Twitter account and looked to be okay with it.

Well, the good feelings from Clarkson about his rating were short lived. Less than two hours later, Clarkson sent out two tweets that made his true feelings about his rating clear.

Tell us how you really feel, Jordan. It is clear that Clarkson believes he is better than his 77 rating. Last season, Clarkson averaged 14.7 points, 3.0 rebounds, 2.6 assists and 1.1 steals per game. Like the rest of his younger teammates, Clarkson really picked things up after the All-Star break when the Lakers really committed to their youth movement.

Last season Clarkson’s role was fluid. He played in all 82 games, but the Lakers had good depth in the backcourt, so Clarkson’s role continually changed. This season, Clarkson knows his role right from the start, as he will be the team’s sixth man.

Magic Johnson has some high expectations for Clarkson, as he believes that he can win the Sixth Man of the Year award. If Clarkson is playing that well during the season, his 2K rating will reflect that as they constantly are updating the rosters and players overall ratings.
