Moving on to one the best players not rated by the MT 2K23, Oklahoma City Thunder forward Kenrich Williams follows on for two different reasons. One is the perimeter defense where the 27 year-old has established an impression in Oklahoma. He's tough to take down at the point of attack and is a formidable player in one-on-one scenarios and is just generally much better than he's been credited for. He is ranked ninth on the team in defensive perimeters, just behind players like Ty Jerome and Aleksej Poku?evski This shouldn't happen.
On the other hand Williams has the fifth best 3-point score on the team, despite ranking 10th overall in 3-point percentage during the season at 33.9% with 0.8 creates a game. Williams' profile is not 100% accurate, but his 75 overall is a reasonable starting point (even when it should have been 77).
Russell Westbrook's first homecoming game with The Los Angeles Lakers did not take as planned. He began 2K22 with an average of 86. but he slowly slowed down after uncharacteristic form throughout the season. The ex-league MVP is now the third-highest player on the team . This is where it was at the end of 2K22. There's not much to argue that he's the same player he once was back in 2016. but it seems fairly unfair to lower him all the way to the 78 mark within a single season. His shot-IQ is 25 which is tied for the lowest score in the league and not surprising at all.
If you want to compare, players rated 78 overall include Patrick Beverley, Westbrook's new teammate, Cole Anthony, Jakob Poeltl and rookies Paolo Banchero and Jabari Smith Jr. Perhaps Westbrook could have been rated somewhere between 80 and 83? This isn't really the case, but rather it's a "How do he keep getting high ratings?"
Kind of snubs for other players. Porzi? His numbers are solid but when you watch himplay, it's obvious that he's a shell of the pre-ACL tear version. That's why his team, the Dallas Mavericks moved on from his. After posting impressive numbers (22.1 scores, 8.8 rebound, 2.9 assists on a 48-37-87 shooting splitting) during 17 matches with the Washington Wizards, Porzi? has now jumped to 85 overall in 2K23 after starting the 2K22 season at 84 overall.
Westbrook was battered for one season that was subpar, however Porzi? ?is remains strong after a single 17-game stretch. Also, as mentioned earlier, Siakam fell despite achieving some things that Cheap NBA 2K MT were more substantial.
