Toronto's wing-heavy, small-ball lineups brought them to fifth , and MT 2K23 even though they lost in the first round to a disappointing team, the season, Siakam's overall record should not have sunk due to it - if there was anything to be said, it was the contrary.
The Phoenix Suns, by an exceptionally small margin, played the third-best defense in the regular season of last year; they could've very well been first. A collective team effort is required to sustain that level of quality for eighty-two games. Fourth-year forward Mikal Bridges played a crucial part in this. He was not only a part of all 82 games but his position was considered to be the most influential defender in the team.
But that's not the case in his overall 2K23 or the perimeter defense rating. His overall rating did not rise from 2K22 and maintained 83. The perimeter defense rating is 85 (A-minus) that is second on the team after Chris Paul's 90. For a player who was second in Defensive Player of The Award last season these two numbers should be higher.
Moving on to one of the most underrated players in the NBA, Oklahoma City Thunder forward Kenrich Williams follows on for two different reasons. One is defense on the perimeter, where the 27-year-old has made an image in Oklahoma. He's hard to take down at the point of attack and is a formidable player in one-on-one scenarios and is just generally much more efficient than he's given credit for. He is ranked ninth on the team's defensive perimeters, just behind players like Ty Jerome and Aleksej Poku?evski This shouldn't happen.
On the other hand, he is the best 3-point rating on the team despite being the 10th best in 3-point percentage last season, with 33.9 percent. 0.8 creates a game. Williams has a profile that isn't entirely accurate, however, his 75 overall is a reasonable starting point (even the fact that it should be 77).
Russell Westbrook's homecoming season with the Los Angeles Lakers did not exactly as planned. He started 2K22 with NBA 2K23 MT Coins an overall 86 but gradually slowed down in his performance after an inconsistent season. The current league MVP is in 78th place overall, the third-highest position on the team , and that's where he ended on 2K22. You won't get many arguments that he's the same player he was in the year 2016. but it's very unfair to take him from 78 to just 78 after a single season. His shot IQ is 25 which is one of the lowest scores in the game although it's not really surprising.
