The Real NBA 2K14 Preview Roster

It took a considerable amount of time and effort, but I have finally completed my NBA 2K14 preview roster for NBA 2K13.

These are NOT official ratings for NBA 2K14 (though they are surely better than what 2K Sports will churn out).  I will post those ratings when they are released, so check back for further updates!

Feel free to leave a comment or question about the roster and I will try to answer it to the best of my ability.  Enjoy the roster!
