Russell Westbrook's return to home with his team the Los Angeles Lakers did not be as expected. He began 2K22 with an general 86 but gradually dipped after his uncharacteristic performance throughout the season. He was the league's MVP before that, and is now 78 overall NBA 2K23 MT, the third-highest on the team , and that's where it was at the end of 2K22. It's hard to argue about whether he's still the player he was in 2016. but it seems rather harsh to bring him down until he's one year and 78. His shot IQ is 25 which is the lowest score in the league which isn't surprising.

For comparison's sake, other players who were rated 78 overall are Patrick Beverley, Westbrook's new teammate, Cole Anthony, Jakob Poeltl and rookies Paolo Banchero and Jabari Smith Jr. Isn't it obvious that Westbrook could have been rated somewhere between 80 and 83? It's not an admission of fault, but more of an "How is it that he keeps getting high marks?"

The kind of snub that is reserved for other players. Porzi? ?is'numbers are solid, but when you watch him, it's evident he's a shell of the pre-ACL tear version. This is why his team, the Dallas Mavericks moved on from him. But after posting intriguing figures (22.1 points, 8.8 Rebounds, 2.9 assists in a shooting 48-37-87 splitting) through 17 appearances for the Washington Wizards, Porzi? has increased to an 85 overall rating in 2K23 following beginning 2K22 with an 84 overall.

Westbrook got hammered for a season that was subpar, however, Porzi? is still in good shape after a 17-game run. Then, as we mentioned Siakam was down despite having accomplished things that were more solid. Porzi? is also more popular over Klay Thompson NBA 2K23 MT Coins, Draymond Green, Fred VanVleet and De'Aaron Fox just to name several players. We'll see how this rating will change as the season progresses but a few stars have been omitted from a higher rating.
