Zaccharie Risacher’s first NBA 2K27 number as a Maverick lands at 76 overall, a fresh snapshot of where Dallas sees him after the July trade that brought him into the fold.
That mark puts Risacher eighth on the Mavericks’ roster in the game and 11 points behind the 87s shared by Cooper Flagg and Kyrie Irving. His three-point rating comes in at 81, which slots him fourth among Dallas players behind Tarik Biberovic at 85, Max Christie at 84 and Marcus Sasser at 82.
2K has Risacher listed at 6-foot-8 and tagged as a small forward and shooting guard on a 2-Way Iso Sniper build. He also gets eight badges and a 70 driving dunk.
The rating is the first one Risacher has received since arriving in Dallas on July 19 in a three-team deal. In that move, Luguentz Dort went from Oklahoma City to Atlanta, Ryan Nembhard was sent from Dallas to the Hawks, and the Thunder collected three second-round picks.
His $13.8 million salary for 2026-27 fit into the $20.8 million trade exception Dallas created in the February deal that sent Anthony Davis to Washington. Atlanta had already picked up Risacher’s club option for this season before dealing him, and the 2027-28 season remains a team option at $17.4 million. Dallas has until Oct. 31 to decide on that one.
Risacher was the No. 1 pick in the 2024 draft out of France. He made the All-Rookie First Team in 2024-25 and finished second in Rookie of the Year voting that season.
As of Feb. 10, he had played 41 games and was averaging 10.7 points and 3.5 rebounds. That same month, he stepped in for an injured Ajay Mitchell in the 2026 Rising Stars field at Intuit Dome, marking his second straight appearance in the event.
He turned 21 in April and is set to spend most of this season at that age. Nembhard, the undrafted guard Dallas sent to Atlanta, is two years older.
Dallas has turned over a lot of the roster, too. Eight of the 18 rated Mavericks weren’t in Dallas a year ago.
Santi Aldama arrived from Memphis at 78, one spot above Risacher. Sasser came over from Detroit at 74.
Morez Johnson Jr. is at 73. Biberovic and Jett Howard are both 71s, while Sergio De Larrea and Tobi Lawal are tied at 69.
Masai Ujiri was named president of basketball operations on May 4, two weeks before Dallas and Jason Kidd parted ways, and all eight of those additions came after that point.
As a team, Dallas checks in at 81 overall in NBA 2K27, which puts the Mavericks in the third tier. They also carry an 83 in outside scoring and a 64 in defense, with Risacher joining a wing group that includes Flagg, Naji Marshall, Christie and Caleb Martin.

Klay's Dallas Gamble Looks Even Bigger After What We Learned About LA
Klay Thompsons time in Dallas already carried the feel of a bold basketball detour, but the backdrop around it has only gotten more interesting. He spent two seasons with the Mavericks after signing there in free agency, then moved on without getting the title run he was hoping for, a result shaped in part by injuries to Kyrie Irving and the kind of roster churn that has followed this team for the past couple of years.
Now the story has picked up another layer with his father, Mychal Thompson, venting about Klay passing on the Lakers not once but twice, including a personal push from LeBron James. For Mavericks fans, it is another reminder of how quickly the league can rearrange itself around a decision that once looked straightforward, especially with Luka Doni later landing in Los Angeles and changing the picture around the whole West.

Mavericks Linked To Lakers Move That Could Cost Luka A Key Fit
The Lakers are still sorting out their starting power forward spot after missing on Jonathan Kuminga, who chose the Timberwolves, and one suggested path has them looking into a move that would send P.J. Washington out of Dallas. Washington has become a useful fit for the Mavericks because he can fill a similar role to the one Los Angeles wanted from Kuminga, giving the team a versatile frontcourt piece who already understands how to play alongside Luka Doncic.
For Dallas, the intrigue is not just about replacing a rotation piece, but about whether dealing Washington would undercut one of the cleaner fits around Doncic. His familiarity with Luka could make him especially valuable if the Mavericks are trying to keep the offense organized and balanced, which is why any chatter around a potential Lakers-Mavs swap carries extra weight. There is still a real sense that if Los Angeles pushes forward, the Mavericks could be forced to weigh short-term flexibility against losing one of their more natural complements. [Read more 🡒]
Mavs Leaked 2K Ratings Show This Roster Still Has Something To Prove
The early buzz around NBA 2K27s Dallas Mavericks ratings is giving fans another snapshot of where the roster stands before the season even gets rolling. The leaked numbers suggest a team with plenty of recognizable talent, but also one that still has room to climb, especially as the game continues to adjust player attributes based on how the year unfolds.
Cooper Flagg and Kyrie Irving sit atop the group at 87 overall, which tells its own story about both promise and respect without pushing anyone into elite territory yet. Behind them, the frontcourt depth is grouped tightly, with Dereck Lively II, Daniel Gafford and P.J. Washington all landing at 79, a reminder that this roster may need more than reputation to move up the ladder once the real games begin. [Read more 🡒]
