The Knicks weren't able to get the offseason they wanted, that culminated in watching Cleveland remove Donovan Mitchell from Utah 2K MT. The loss has affected New York's overall team rating quite drastically, but the addition of Jalen Brunson was able to soften the hit. If you're curious about who the Knicks are's top players could be, how their new backcourt ranks against the rest of it, and what teams' positions might require upgrading in both the franchise and MyNBA Eras, then here's everything you need to know about the new 2K23 NBA Knicks roster.

The Knicks are ranked 24th as the best basketball team according to the new ratings for the 32 teams of NBA 2K23. The team will be rated 24th at the time of launch. New York will have an overall team rating of 84. The Knicks will also feature a total of five players that are rated as high as at or above 80 on the roster in NBA 2K23, including their franchise player who has just signed an extension to his contract and the highly sought-after new free agent. Below is an overview of the initial team and the bench of the New York Knicks at launch in NBA 2K23.

That includes all five starters and brand new additions like Jalen Brunson as well as bench players such as Obi Toppin and Derrick Rose. Going into this year's edition of the basketball simulation, I had initially believed NBA 2K23's ratings would favor fans of the Chicago Bulls after a bounceback year that saw the team earn a pair of All-Star bids in Zach LaVine and DeMar DeRozan as well as an All-Rookie team selection including Ayo Dosunmu and the All-NBA award for DeRozan.

Unfortunately, I couldn't be more wrong. A number of players from the Chicago Bulls have been penalized points for their performance as they did last year, with only one player earning an overall rating of '90' or higher. 15 players from the league were rated 90 or greater, reflecting the general consensus within teams is that Bulls are lacking a player who could take Chicago to winning a championship. Even aside from Chicago's All-Star couple Buy NBA 2K23 MT, 2K seems overall dismissive of the talent that is on this roster.
