Moving on to one of the most underrated players of the NBA, Oklahoma City Thunder forward Kenrich Williams is the next player to be considered for two distinct reasons. One is his perimeter defense NBA 2K23 MT, where the 27 year-old has established a reputation in Oklahoma. He's adamant, difficult to take down at the point of attack, strong in one-on-one situations and generally better than he's been credited for. He ranks ninth on the team's the defensive zone, which is behind players like Ty Jerome and Aleksej Poku?evski This shouldn't happen.
On the other hand his fifth-highest 3-point rating on the team, despite ranking 10th in 3-point percentage last season. His 3-point percentage was 33.9% with 0.8 makes a game. Williams's profile isn't completely accurate, but his 75 overall is a fair starting point (even though it should to be higher than 77).
Russell Westbrook's return to home with his team the Los Angeles Lakers did not exactly as planned. He started 2K22 with an 86 overall but slowly declined in his performance after an uncharacteristic slump throughout the season. His former MVP of the league is at 78 overall and is the third-highest for the team, which is also where he ended on 2K22. You won't get many arguments to suggest that he's no longer the player he once was back in 2016, but it seems rather harsh to bring him down all the way down to an average of 78 in a single season. His shot IQ also stands at 25 which is tied for one of the lowest scores in the game, but not exactly surprising.
For comparison's sake, other players rated as 78 overall are Patrick Beverley NBA 2K MT For Sale, Westbrook's new teammate, Cole Anthony, Jakob Poeltl and rookies Paolo Banchero and Jabari Smith Jr. Perhaps Westbrook should have started his career between 80 and 83? This one isn't exactly a snub, moreso a "How does he keep getting praise?"
