In Nba 2k23 mt some cases, players were given an overall rating that seems to be more than they should be and , in other instances the players are given lower ratings than they most likely deserve. It could result from any number of reasons, such as exceptional players who are not rated just like the average ones, or legendary players who are obliquely not equal to their peers.
In fairness, an average of 78 points isn't among the highest in the sport, but it's certainly to be too much for Donte DiVencenzo from the Milwaukee Bucks. But that's not to suggest that his skills as a player aren't adequate but he's just not really at the level of other players ranked in the same vicinity like him.
For example, DiVincenzo produced solid results (10.4ppg, 5.8rpg) and played with a strong defense, but not a player who would be ranked in the exact same area as shooters like Tyler Herro and Buddy Hield, or defenders like Draymond Green. DiVincenzo is an excellent player on a championship team but isn't close to becoming a star.
As a matter of fact the 97 overall score is surely one of the most impressive scores a player can receive. In actuality, it's higher than any active player to play in NBA 2K23 given that the highest rated among current players is LeBron, Kevin Durant, Giannis Antetokounmpo, and Steph Curry. All of them are tied at 96.
However, Dwyane Wade's 97 feels somewhat low considering who the man he is. Wade is widely believed to be one of the three greatest shooting guards in league history after Michael Jordan and Kobe Bryant. With them having a 99 and 98, and 98, Wade at 97 seems to be a decent score. However, it ties him with the likes of Walt Frazier and Steve Nash although they are great, aren't as great as Wade.
In terms of mt nba 2k23 ability and ability, Kristaps Porzingis is a true "unicorn" because his frame as well as his court presence are not common. He is 7'3" but is able to shoot like a guard and control the ball and block many shots. The issue is that it hasn't been working for him in Dallas in recent times.
