Getty DeMar DeRozan
The Chicago Bulls have been among the most surprising teams in the NBA. With NBA 2K designed to function as the ultimate simulation, the first ratings update are tasked with best representing the new-look Bulls.
The result has been increased ratings for the team’s top 2 stars, and a decrease for one of the team’s more disappointing performers.
Zach LaVine, DeMar DeRozan and Nikola Vucevic’s Performance
With the Bulls getting off to a 6-2 start, the two biggest beneficiaries have been DeMar DeRozan and Zach LaVine. DeRozan’s hot start, which has him leading the Bulls in scoring at 27 points per game, has led to a +3 point leap in his overall rating to an 88.
LaVine, who was an 87 before the season began, has jumped a point to 88 as well. The Bulls now have two players in their starting lineup listed at 88 overall. Super reserve Alex Caruso also saw a three-point leap to a 79 overall. Chicago’s surprising rookie Ayo Dosunmu went up a point to a 71 overall.
On the downside, Nikola Vucevic saw his overall dip three points to an 83 overall. Vucevic has rebounded well and played solid defense, but his shooting has been horrid to start the season. Vooch is shooting a woeful 38.9% from the field, 28% from three and his free-throw shooting is down at 72%. If Vucevic were shooting as well as he did last season (just under 40%) the Bulls might be undefeated.
Also on the downside, Patrick Williams’ overall rating is down a point to 74 overall.
