NBA 2K17 isn’t released to the public (unless you pre-order the game) until Sept. 20. However, player ratings and team ratings are leaking in and some of those include the Chicago Bulls.

The Chicago Bulls are a big question mark in real life, but in the virtual world of NBA 2K17 … well, it’s the same thing.

2K Sports’ NBA 2K17 hits shelves on Sept. 20, but if you pre-order the game, you can check out the Bulls and everything else (such as MyCareer and MyPark) on Sept. 16.

But, thanks to social media, we’ve received an early glimpse of what’s to come from the Bulls in NBA 2K17. Isaiah Canaan, Doug McDermott and Denzel Valentine have all tweeted out their player ratings in the game on Twitter.

2K Sports already provided a look of Jimmy Butler a week ago with a shot of him at the line on their official Instagram account.

Furthermore, some overall ratings have leaked, including Butler’s 88 overall rating and the rating of Dwyane Wade (87).

As you can see from the screengrab, some of the ratings for the other Bulls this season can be seen, including Rajon Rondo (81), Robin Lopez (77), Nikola Mirotic (76), Taj Gibson (76) and Bobby Portis (74). (Spencer Dinwiddie’s nice rating of 69 has been leaked already, too.)

One of the things that sticks out about the NBA 2K17 ratings for the Bulls is that three-point shooting column. McDermott has the best grade of the guys listed in that photograph and he’s just a B-, which is … not good. Just like in real life, the Bulls aren’t going to be able to hit many outside shots in 2K17 either.

The most curious thing about the Bulls in NBA 2K17 hasn’t been leaked yet and that’s what Robin Lopez and his glorious afro looks like in this year’s edition of the game.
