No names would only be a licensing issue if NBA 2K associated a name with a likeness or perceived likeness but a name in a database would not be an issue especially since the first and last names are separated within the database. A name not being commonly known doesn't make it licensed. The current consensus # pick in next year's draft Michael Porter name can be used from the database. It could possibly be an issue if it were a nickname that was associated with a certain player and that would be stretch. A player or the NCAA would have to prove that there is only one person world wide with an individual first or last name. Now if 2K (Not an individual user) were to generate a draft class in game and it created a college player named Michael Porter then that could become a licensing issue.
