World-famous basketball video game NBA 2K recently released some of their ratings ahead of the next edition, NBA 2K27. As expected, it included a couple former Duke Blue Devils.
Earlier this week, 2K listed 10 players with the highest 3-point rating in the game, and two Duke alumni were listed in the top five. After leading the league in 3-pointers made while shooting 42.5% from beyond the arc, Kon Knueppel was ranked second with a rating of 94, trailing only Stephen Curry. Another Duke sharpshooter, Luke Kennard, ranked in a tie for third with a 93 rating after leading the NBA in 3-point percentage last season.

This isn’t a surprise, as Duke alumni have been some of the most efficient 3-point shooters in recent seasons. In fact, a former Blue Devil has led the NBA in 3-point percentage in each of the last five NBA seasons. Kennard has done so three times, while Grayson Allen and Seth Curry did so once each.
