It even earned an All-NBA honor for DeRozan

Which includes all five starters and some new additions, like Jalen Brunson as well as bench players like Obi Toppin and Derrick Rose.Going into the upcoming edition of the popular basketball simulation, I had initially believed that MT 2K23 ratings would favor the Chicago Bulls after a bounceback year that saw the team earn two All-Star invites in Zach LaVine and DeMar DeRozan and an All-Rookie team selection with Ayo Dosunmu. It even earned an All-NBA honor for DeRozan.

The truth is, I couldn't be more incorrect. Many players of the Chicago Bulls have been docked points off their ratings from where they finished last year, and none of them earning a '90' overall grade or higher.15 players across the league were rated 90 or more, signalling that the consensus view in teams is that Bulls lack a true star that could lead Chicago to a championship. With the exception of Chicago's All-Star couple, 2K seems overall dismissive of the talent present on the team.

Despite the fact Michael Jordan graces the front cover, NBA 2K23 couldn't be less wrong about how impressive the currently Chicago Bulls are.2K has four currently Bulls players ranked among the top 100 players in the league. DeRozan and LaVine occupy the 19th and 23rd spots respectively, while Nikola Vucevic is ranked No. 59 and Lonzo Ball comes to No. 73. It's a bit of a surprise that Andre Drummond is rated as Chicago's fifth-best player , and barely makes the cut.

The team's ratings in general are an absolute wreck. The Bulls backcourt take an enormous hit, since Alex Caruso, Coby White, and Dosunmu are all downgraded one point when common sense says they should improve even more next season. Dosunmu's overall score of 76 is particularly shocking, considering his All-Rookie status was just announced. Fellow All-Rookie Second Team guard Josh Giddey posted roughly equal performance when compared to Dosunmu (and was outclassed by Ayo in head-tohead contests) as a starter but scored a significantly higher 82 overall score.

Rookie Dalen Terry has also been given a shambolic 71 overall rating that is lower than even the likes of ex- Bulls Matt Thomas, Denzel Valentine, Troy Brown Jr. and Tomas Satoransky. Three of them aren't even included on an NBA roster and the fourth one has an unofficial "prove it" contract that will shortly join the other three in the event that he fails to step up in a significant way.

I don't expect Terry to show up and start a firework immediately, but placing Dalen lower than these players is pretty ridiculous, all things considered.As the whole, Buy NBA 2K23 MT Coins has rated the Chicago Bulls in "Tier 2" this means they aren't among the league's top 10 teams. In a strange way, the Lakers are among those 10 teams that are in Tier 1 despite how messy their roster construction has been in the past two years.
