With notable offseason transactions drying up and the Olympic basketball tournament in the rearview mirror, the NBA calendar has officially reached its dog days of summer - unless you're a gamer fishing for some 2K17 news.
Twitter user Ronnie 2K began his annual tradition of sending players their 2K screenshots and ratings Wednesday night, and a handful of those stars shared the details with their own followers.

The appreciation of youngsters like Malik Beasley and Justin Anderson is endearing, the impressive rating of Karl-Anthony Towns is an accurate warning to the Association, and Joel Embiid, as always, finds a way to steal the social media show.
