Talented big men are still thriving in the NBA and the latest roster update for "NBA 2K17" makes sure that these skilled players get their due.

Leading the way for the newly improved big men is a player who may actually be closer to a wing-type player in terms of what he can do on the court. The young and super-athletic Giannis Antetokounmpo is now even better, with his overall rating jumping up two points to 89 as he has helped lead the Milwaukee Bucks to playoff contention.

Another young big making his mark in the league, Minnesota Timberwolves center/forward Karl-Anthony Towns, also had his overall rating bumped up. Towns now possesses an overall score of 88, turning him into one of the best players in the game, even though he is also one of the youngest.

It's not just the young guns who have benefited from the recently released update.

Kevin Love, an important member of the Cleveland Cavaliers' championship core, has seemingly found his groove in the team's offense after struggling for stretches over the past two seasons. Love's improvement has been noticeable on the court and it's clear inside the game as well as he now owns an overall mark of 87.

Another Eastern Conference big, Al Horford of the Boston Celtics, has also improved courtesy of the latest "NBA 2K17" roster update, as his rating has now shot up to 86 thanks in large part to his steady play.

Last up, Marc Gasol of the Memphis Grizzlies has also gotten better inside the game. Gasol has discovered his three-point shot this year, as he's taken and made more of them this season. Gasol's more diverse offensive game has helped land him an overall rating of 86.

A full list of which other players had their overall ratings adjusted can be seen over on Operation Sports.
