Detroit Pistons
| Statistic | Description |
|---|---|
| OVR | 83 |
| Offensive Rating | 84 |
| Defensive Rating | 82 |
| MVP | Cade Cunningham |
| Supporting MVP | Jaden Ivey |
| Saddiq Bey | |
| 1st Draft Picks | If kept 1-18 then one. |
| If 19-3 then it goes to New York. |
This team has young rising stars like Cunningham and Saddiq Dey, who have reached their best potential. Overall, the teams need some work on the consistency of their shots and some reinforcement in defense. Both issues can be solved with a little effort.
Houston Rockets
| Statistic | Description |
|---|---|
| OVR | 85 |
| Offensive Rating | 78 |
| Defensive Rating | 82 |
| MVP | Jalen Green |
| Supporting MVP | Jabari Smith Jr |
| Kevin Porter Jr | |
| 1st Draft Picks | Two in total. One is own and the other is by swapping with Brooklyn. |
This team offers plenty of players with scoring and shooting potential. Hence, it’s the most fun to build in our opinion. You will lose Christian Woods, but you still have a stable anchor like Jalen Green. Also, you can get Alperen Sengun who has lots of untapped potentials.
Orlando Magic
| Statistic | Description |
|---|---|
| OVR | 84 |
| Offensive Rating | 85 |
| Defensive Rating | 84 |
| MVP | Wendell Carter Jr |
| Supporting MVP | Franz Wagner |
| Mo Bamba | |
| 1st Draft Picks | If Chicago’s pick falls 5-30 then obtains one |
Overall, this team is consistent, but you must take a shot at younger players to reach its maximum potential. The Magic won around 22 games in 2021-22. This team has a total of two players having rated 80 or above NBA 2k23.
San Antonio Spurs
| Statistic | Description |
|---|---|
| OVR | 81 |
| Offensive Rating | 83 |
| Defensive Rating | 79 |
| MVP | Wendell Carter Jr |
| Supporting MVP | Jakob Poeltl |
| Devin Vassell | |
| 1st Draft Picks | If Charlotte’s pick falls 17-30 then obtains one. |
This team needs a rebuild after trading away its best player Jejounte Murray to Atlanta. There are plenty of good players to fish for.
One of them is Doug McDermott. He is one of the best defensive players in NBA 2K23. His contract will expire in two years, after which he will be available for a rebuild. His playstyle complements the team, as he is a pure shooter who can make shots from deep on the court.
Utah Jazz
| Statistic | Description |
|---|---|
| OVR | 83 |
| Offensive Rating | 83 |
| Defensive Rating | 80 |
| MVP | Mike Conley |
| Supporting MVP | Bojan Bogdanović |
| Collin Sexton | |
| 1st Draft Picks | Three in total, the least favorable of Brooklyn’s, Huston’s, and Philadelphia’s. |
While this team is now a mere husk of its previous self, it’s still led by legends like Mike Conley and Bojan Bogdanović. Hence there is still a lot of potential for a firm rebuild.
