Moving to one of the most underrated players in the MT 2K23, Oklahoma City Thunder forward Kenrich Williams comes next for two reasons. One is his perimeter defense, where the 27-year old has built a reputation in Oklahoma. He's extremely aggressive, hard to take down at the point of attack and is a formidable player in one-on-one scenarios and is generally better than what he's credited for. He's in the ninth spot on the team in perimeter defense behind players like Ty Jerome and Aleksej Poku?evski and should not be.

On the other hand Williams is the 5th-highest 3-point percentage on the team even though he was ranked 10th overall in 3-point percentage during the season with 33.9% with 0.8 per game. Williams's profile isn't completely accurate, but his 75 overall score is a good starting point (even although it could to be higher than 77).

Russell Westbrook's homecoming with Russell Westbrook's homecoming season with the Los Angeles Lakers did not run as planned. He began 2K22 with an total of 86 but then slowly fell in his performance after an inconsistent season. The current league MVP is at 78 overall, which is third highest for the team and the place the season ended at 2K22. There's no doubt that he's not the player he was in the year 2016. but it's very unfair to take him all the way to the 78 mark within a single season. His shot IQ is 25. which is the most low score in the game and not surprising at all.

For your reference, players rated 78 in total include Patrick Beverley, Westbrook's new teammate, Cole Anthony, Jakob Poeltl and rookies Paolo Banchero and Jabari Smith Jr. Why wouldn't Westbrook ought to have started between 80 and 83? This one isn't exactly unkind, but it is more of an "How does he keep getting high ratings?"

Kind of snubs for other players. Porzi? ?is'numbers are solid, but when you watch himplay, you can see that he's not the same of his pre-ACL tear self. That's why his team, the Dallas Mavericks moved on from the team. After posting impressive numbers (22.1 points, 8.8 rebounds, 2.9 assists on a shooting break) through 17 appearances with the Washington Wizards, Porzi? is now at 85 overall average in 2K23 despite having started 2K22 as 84 overall.

Westbrook got hammered by a subpar season but Porzi? remains strong after a single 17-game stretch. As mentioned Siakam fell, despite doing things that carried more substance. Porzi? ?is also has higher ratings than Klay Thompson Draymond Green Fred VanVleet and NBA 2K MT Coins De'Aaron Fox just to name a few players. The rating will be evaluated to see what it is impacted as the season progresses and a number of players were left out of a higher rating.
