NBA 2K22 is hitting shelves, and per usual, the Bruins will be well-represented in the game.

2K Sports released the ratings for all current NBA players, including their individual attributes, badges and builds. That includes the dozen or so UCLA men's basketball alumni set to take the court in the Association this season, once again ranking inside the top 10 for college programs in producing NBA talent.

Players currently playing overseas, including 2013 first round pick Shabazz Muhammad and 2018 second rounder Thomas Welsh, are not in the game and therefore do not have a rating for the 2021-2022 season. Several young players on two-way contracts, G League rosters or fighting to earn a training camp spot also do not have ratings at the moment.

It remains to be seen if any of them eventually appear in future updates of the game, but for now, here are the best and worst Bruins in NBA 2K22:

1. Zach LaVine (CHI): 87 overall, No. 8 shooting guard, Scoring Machine

2. Russell Westbrook (LAL): 86 overall, No. 7 point guard, 2-Way Slashing Playmaker

3. Jrue Holiday (MIL): 85 overall, No. 12 point guard, 2-Way Scoring Machine

4. Lonzo Ball (CHI): 82 overall, No. 22 point guard, 2-Way 3PT Playmaker

5. Norman Powell (LAL): 80 overall, No. 18 small forward, Sharpshooter

6. Kyle Anderson (MEM): 79 overall, No. 18 power forward, Slashing Playmaker

7. Kevin Love (CLE): 78 overall, No. 22 power forward, Interior Finisher

8. Moses Brown (DAL): 77 overall, Glass Cleaner

9. Trevor Ariza (LAL): 74 overall, Stretch Four

10. Kevon Looney (GSW): 73 overall, Mid-Range Finisher
