Best Budget Player Cards in NBA 2K23 MyTeam

Point Guard

Ja Morant

This is a completely free card that you can choose when you first create a team. Ja Morant will bring speed, shooting, and defense into your roster and you don’t have to pay a dime! It’s easy to upgrade this card to its full potential, which is 89 OVR and can be a great option for your starting one spot while you work to find an upgrade.

 

Morant is the face of the Memphis Grizzlies and arguably the fiercest dunker in the game. The 2020 Rookie of the Year found three firsts in 2021-2022 as he was named an All-Star, All-NBA Second Team, and won the Most Improved Player award.

 

78 Pass Perception

79 Perimeter Defense

81 Lateral Quickness

82 Free Throw

83 Mid-Range Shot

79 Three-Point Shot

 

Shooting Guard

Roberto Reid

For a shooting guard position, Robert Reid is an absolutely affordable option for the price it comes with. It can only be purchased for 1000 and has an overall rating of 83 with a lot of potential to equip your list.

 

Robert has 7 bronze and 1 silver badges with a great close-up shot. He also has an absolutely explosive three-point.

Reid may not be a distinction when it comes to static, but he is a blaster for the control he offers during gameplay. He can pass the ball with his very smooth release. Most important of all is, 6’8 which is a good number for a guard range.

 

84 Close shot 

77 Three points

98 Frenzy 

90 Resistance
 

Small Forward

Kelly Tripucka

Small forward can be filled pretty decently by Kelly Tripucka with an overall rating of 85 and a price of just 700. He has a total of fifteen bronze medals and a key feature of three-point. He also has hot zones around his specialty, the three-point line, and has better fouling techniques.

 

88 Draw Foul

87 Free Throw 

82 Three-Pointers

79 Steal

79 Speed

 

Power Forward

P.J. Tucker

The Power Forward position was certainly the most difficult to fill, as there is almost no budget-friendly power forwards on the market. To ensure success in NBA 2K23 MyTeam, having four capable shooters is essential, which is why we opted for P.J. Tucker.

 

Unfortunately, Tucker is weak other than his three-point ability, so we recommend this to be the first place you upgrade when you have a little more cash available. Tucker has an easy release style, but be conscious that he has cold zones across the three-point line, so deploy him down the left wherever possible.

 

88 Close Shot

80 Three-Pointers

75 Perimeter Defense 

 

Center

Rik Smits 

Rik Smits completes the roster with the central position in good hands. It was a tough choice between Rik and Shaq, but obviously the cheapest option would have been Rik as Shaq has a huge name to raise the price. However, Rik has a better advantage over Shaq when it comes to stamina and can play more minutes than Shaq. Rik has an estimated price of 1400 with an overall rating of 82.

 

87 Post Hook

87 Post-fade 

87 Post control

87 Offensive rebound

88 Defensive rebound
