The talent pool starts to thin out when it comes to crucial position of the power forwards, and while players in this position are often not leading scorers, they make monumental contributions when it comes to taking a game past the finish line. Of all the raging debates surrounding 2K23, the case of the best power forwards takes the cake for being the most heated, and often the messiest.
When it comes to the best power forwards in NBA 2K23, there are a number of otherworldly talents who dominate the court, and are extensively relied upon by their teams to win games. In this article, we take a look at the best power forwards to add to your rosters, in order to easily get past even the most difficult opponents, ranked by their ratings.
In this article, we cover some of the best power forwards in the game, but in order to stay ahead in 2k23, it is absolutely essential to stay on top of the news and opinions surrounding your favorite basketball stars.
The first one is an absolute no-brainer. The highest rated player in NBA 2K23, and arguably one of the best players in the league, Giannis Antetokounmpo will likely dominate the game for years to come. A force to be reckoned with on both ends of the court, he is known for his masterful performances in offense as well as defensive plays.
Being one of the fastest players on this list, Giannis is known for often ripping apart opposition defenses, all the while anchoring Milwaukee’s own unsurmountable fortress.
The heart and soul of the Brooklyn Nets, KD is rated 96, a score he wasn’t happy about, angrily tweeting for a much more respectable 99.
All kidding aside, Kevin Durant is a force to be reckoned with, and his credentials speak for themselves, with two NBA championships, two finals MVPs, multiple NBA MVPs, and the list only continues to grow. He has 30 badges, out of which 3 are of Hall of Fame Level.
This power forward for the Miami Heats is a robust addition for a stern offense, and a well anchored defense. Leaving out his injury-prone recent season, Butler has 37 badges, and posted a career best performance when it comes to assists and rebounds.
While there is not much room for improvement once players cross the age of 30, we feel this is one such case where a stern case can be made for an increase in the overall ratings.
Coming off an impressive year taking the Boston Celtics to the finals, Jayson Tatum ended the season with an average of 27 points, 8 rebounds, and 4.5 assists. The highs and lows during the season made this Celtics’ power forward’s relative inexperience quite evident.
Despite playing for four years in the NBA, he is just 24 years old, with a long career ahead, during which we are likely to see substantial improvements in his overall scores and ratings.
The last two seasons were thoroughly underwhelming for the ace LA Lakers power forward, with injuries and other issues keeping him on the sidelines far longer than on the court. That being said, however, this man with the fearsome unibrow has been instrumental in helping Lebron James bring the championship back to the Lakers.
With a score of 90 overall, he remains indispensable for the Lakers if they ever hope to make it to the NBA Playoffs again. While there are certain shortcomings, such as his constant injuries, fortunately, players can turn off injuries in NBA 2K23.
The right power forward for your myTeam can make all the difference in matches, both online and offline. Other players on the team will be left unable to make the most of their talents if they lack the necessary cover from an aggressive power forward.
The above mentioned players are the best in the game, and with the right combinations they stand to add substantial value to your teams.
