Tatum is fairly rated at 93/100 overall. He was an All-Star starter and a first team All-NBA selection for the first time last season. That said, the gap between him and Brown should not be six points. Brown should be closer to 89 or 90 overall.

A case also could be made for Andrew Wiggins being rated higher than an 84, especially after he played so well in helping the Warriors defeat the Celtics in the 2022 NBA Finals.

Similar to "Madden NFL 23", the developers of "NBA 2K23" will release roster updates throughout the 2022-23 season and change the player ratings based on how these guys perform on the court.
