Cover Player Speculation

What if that picture is just an advertisement for "The One" mode, because I am guessing they will put a lot of emphasis on that. The jersey could just be generic.

That was my first thought when I saw it.

At one point, I was thinking DeMar DeRozan; he also showed up in a lot of the First Look screenshots.

Harden has a 96 OVR, he is on the same level with Durant and LeBron, while Kawhi and Westbrook both have 94. Harden will be the cover athlete, you heard it here first

It would explain the new advanced defensive mechanics

I guess it's not Russ. If it was, yesterday or today would have been the perfect time to announce it.

Also appears KD is doubtful.

Durant's a part of the Team 2K talent roster, so that was always going to be unlikely.
