- Starting Players
Take into account each Player's playing style. Some players are better suited for certain types of lineups than others. For example, if you want a fast-paced offense, you'll wish for players who can quickly get up and down the court.

PG: Magic Johnson - 95 OVR

 

 

 

When building a lineup around Johnson, there are a few things to remember. First, he is a pure point guard, so it might be wise to surround him with shooting guards and small forwards who can space the floor and knock down shots. Secondly, his lack of size can be exploited by opposing teams, so it is essential to have big men who can protect the rim and rebound the ball.
This lineup boasts an obscene amount of firepower, with all five starters being able to score at will. Magic Johnson is the catalyst that makes it all work, as his playmaking ability opens up lanes for shooters.

SG: Devin Booker - 96 OVR

 

 

 

He has a 96 Overall rating and is an offensive powerhouse. He has a 97 rating for Driving & Finishing, making him one of the best players at getting to the rim and finishing. He's also got a 96 rating for Mid-Range Shooting so he can knock down shots anywhere on the court. Defensively, he's not quite as strong as he is on offense, but he's still an excellent defender. His 86 rating for Lateral Quickness makes him tough to beat off the dribble, and his 77 rating for Stealing means he can make some plays on defense when opponents are careless with the ball.

SF: Mikal Bridges - 93 OVR

 

 

 

He has a 93 Overall rating and is an excellent shooting guard. His shooting ability is his best attribute, as he can easily knock down threes. He's also an excellent defender, which makes him a valuable asset on both ends of the court.

PF: Tim Duncan - 99 OVR

 

 

 

Tim Duncan is an incredibly well-rounded player. He can score inside and out, play excellent defense and rebound the ball at a high level. Tim Duncan is your man if you're looking for a reliable power forward who can do it all.

C: Kristaps Porzingis - 94 OVR

 

 

 

He's an excellent rebounder and shot blocker, and he can also knock down threes at a high percentage. If you want to build a championship-caliber team in NBA 2K23, include Kristaps Porzingis on your roster.

- Substitute Players
