To prepare all fans for the debut of NBA 2K26, 2K Games released a list showcasing the title’s 100 highest-rated male players.
But while focusing on the big number was for many the first instinct, we decided to go one step beyond and also break it down by positions. So you can see who among the league’s big men took the top spot, as well as if your favorites got the recognition they deserve, here are the 15 highest-ranked Centers in NBA 2K26.
The 15 Best Centers In NBA 2K26
Continuing his reign as the most complete player under the post, Nikola Jokić is the best and highest-rated center in NBA 2K26, with a 98 rating. True to how they were pretty much playing against one another stat-wise during the 24/25 season, the number sees him tie with Shai Gilgeous-Alexander as the game’s highest-rated pick overall. The Nuggets legend is then followed by Spurs’ Victor Wembanyama with 94, Mavericks’ Anthony Davis with 93, and 76ers’ Joel Embiid with 92.
The above are also the only active NBA centers to have an above 90 OVR in the game, as the fifth-highest pick, Jaren Jackson Jr, boasts an 89.
