However, this isn't reflected in his overall MT 2K23 or perimeter defense rating. His overall score didn't increase from 2K22 but stood at 83. Additionally, his defensive rating for the perimeter is an 82 (A-minus) which is second on the team , behind Chris Paul's 90. As a player who came in second in Defensive Player Of The Year last year Both of those numbers should be higher.

Moving on to one of the players who are underrated in the NBA, Oklahoma City Thunder forward Kenrich Williams follows for two different reasons. One is the defense at the perimeter, where the 27-year old has built an impression in Oklahoma. He's extremely aggressive, hard to beat at the point of attack and is a formidable player in one-on-one scenarios and is generally more efficient than he's given credit for. He's ranked 9th on the team's the perimeter defense, behind players such as Ty Jerome and Aleksej Poku?evski and Ty Jerome, something that shouldn't be happening.

However, he has the fifth-best 3 point rating of the team, and despite finishing 10th in 3-point percentage in the last season at 33.9% with 0.8 is a game. Williams's profile isn't totally accurate, but his 75 overall is a fair starting point (even although it could actually be more like 77).

Russell Westbrook's return to home with The Los Angeles Lakers did not be as expected. He started 2K22 with an 86 overall but slowly declined after a lack of consistency throughout the season. The current league MVP is the third-highest player for the team and the place the season ended at 2K22. It's unlikely to be argued that he's the same player he was in 2016but it's very unfair to take him up to one year and 78. His shot IQ is also 25. which is tied for one of the lowest scores in the game which isn't surprising.

To give you an idea of the range, players who were rated 78 all-around include Patrick Beverley, Westbrook's new teammate, Cole Anthony, Jakob Poeltl and rookies Paolo Banchero and Jabari Smith Jr. Surely Westbrook ought to have begun his career between 80 and 83? This one isn't exactly unkind, but it is more of an "How do he keep getting praise?"

A type of snub to other players. Porzi? is' numbers are solid, but when you watch himplay, it's evident that he's no longer a part of the pre-ACL tear version. This is the reason why that the Dallas Mavericks moved on from him. But after posting intriguing numbers (22.1 point, 8.8 rebounds, 2.9 assists, on a shooting break) during 17 matches with the Washington Wizards, Porzi? is now at 85 overall score in NBA 2K23 MT after starting 2K22 at 84 overall.
