Get in the Weight Room, Buddy' -- NBA World Piles On As Chet Holmgren Takes Exception to Team-Worst 45 Strength Rating in NBA 2K27

Chet Holmgren is drawing heat on social media after NBA 2K27 ratings placed his strength at just 45, the lowest number on the Oklahoma City Thunder roster. The rating left the 7-foot-1 center reportedly “disbelief,” especially because he trails point guard Jared McCain (52) by seven points in strength. Holmgren, the Thunder’s second-overall pick in 2022, has averaged 16.5 points, 8.3 rebounds, 2.1 blocks and 2.1 assists across 183 regular-season games, and helped win the franchise’s title in 2025. Despite the strength figure, he appears at 42 on the game’s Top 100 player list with an 86 overall, down from 88.
