I'm not ashamed to admit that year after year, I am captivated over the game's say NBA 2K MT, but we also cannot deny that it gives us with an accurate picture of what players' opinions are in the upcoming year. Imagine it as a gigantic power ranking of virtually everyone in the league - one which actually earns the Bulls team some respect this time.

NBA 2K23 released today the news that DeMar's DeRozan checks in at 89 overall while Zach LaVine will enter the season with an 88. The ranking is a pretty significant improvement for DeRozan after having started the year with only 85. As for LaVine, however, he moves just one slot up in comparison to NBA 2K22's 87. While I think both are worthy of reaching the 90s-esque threshold the 88 and 89 place them in decent company.

For example, DeRozan is placed ahead of Rudy Gobert and just two spots ahead of Devin Booker. LaVine is ranked higher than players such as Zion Williamson and Jaylen Brown. One thing LaVine has in his favor is a top spot on the dunking charts. LaVine's 95 is behind only Ja Morant as well as Zion Williamson as one of the league's premier slammers.

The rest of the Bulls roster has yet to be confirmed however 2KRatings does have an unofficial list worth checking out. Behind DeRozan and LaVine the most surprising player - and no surprise - is an 83-overall Nikola Vucevic, followed by Lonzo Ball, who scored 82 and Andre Drummond with a somewhat unsettling 81.

The most shocking ranking is tied to the player with probably the highest expectations Buy NBA 2K23 MT. Right now, Patrick Williams is only recorded at a 74 which puts him in line with Goran Dragic and Derrick Jones Jr. yet leaves him behind. . . Tom Brady! ?
