The truth is, I couldn't be more incorrect. Some players of the Chicago Bulls have been docked points in comparison to in the last season, none of them earning a '90' overall ranking or higher.15 players around the league scored 90 or higher, suggesting that the overall consensus in teams is that Bulls do not have a genuine star who could lead Chicago to a championship. Except for Chicago's AllStar duo, MT 2K23 seems overall dismissive of the talent on this team.
Despite the fact that Michael Jordan graces the front cover, NBA 2K23 couldn't be less wrong about how impressive these players from the current Chicago Bulls are.2K has four currently Bulls players who are ranked among the top 100 players on the field. DeRozan and LaVine have the 19th and 23rd positions respectively. Nikola Vucevic is ranked No. 59. Meanwhile, Lonzo Ball comes as the No. 73. A bit surprising, Andre Drummond is rated as Chicago's fifth best player. He also barely missed the cut.
The roster's ratings in general are a trainwreck. The Bulls' backcourt takes the brunt of the damage, as Alex Caruso, Coby White and Dosunmu have all been slashed by one point when common sense says they should be performing better in the coming season. Dosunmu's 76 overall rating is particularly bad, given that he just earned All-Rookie honors. The second Team guard Josh Giddey posted roughly equal stats as Dosunmu (and was outclassed by Ayo when it came to head-to-head games) as a starter , however he was awarded a much higher 82 overall rating.
The rookie Dalen Terry has also been given a shambolic rating of 71 overall that puts him in the same category as even the former Bulls Matt Thomas, Denzel Valentine, Troy Brown Jr. as well as Tomas Satoransky. Three of those players aren't even currently on an NBA roster and the fourth one is an unofficial "prove you're a good player" contract. He'll join the three others if he doesn't step up in a significant way.
I'm not expecting Terry to be the first to emerge and start a firework in the near future, but putting Dalen below these players is very absurd, all things considered.As an overall group, 2K has rated the Chicago Bulls in "Tier 2" which means that they're not among the top 10 league teams. In a strange way, the Lakers have been ranked among those 10 teams in Tier 1. in spite of the mess their roster building has been the last two years.
Overall, Chicago's 2K ranking obviously has no bearing on how they'll do as a group. It's a bit disappointing to fans who looked for a chance to play as their preferred team, but many people from the national media seem to have no clue about the current situation of these Bulls.NBA 2K23 MT requirements for Contact Dunks
