In NBA 2K23, it takes time to accumulate a ton of MT coins for a better lineup. But is it possible to create a top-tier squad without spending too much? The answer is – Yes! In this guide, Evan Tanaka shares his best value squad that can compete against the best team but doesn't cost too much money.
Point Guard: Nikola Jokic
Gem Tier: Dark Matter
Overall: 99
Theme: Out of Position 2
Position: PG/C
Height: 6'11" (210 cm)
Wingspan: 7'3" (220 cm)
You can get this Out of Position 2 Nikola Jokic card for around 50K MT coins, and he is one of the best point guards in NBA 2K23, making this card an extremely good value one. Most importantly, this Out of Position card has similar stats to its Hero version. This card only has ten fewer Hall of Fame badges than the Hero one, but it is not a big difference. Therefore, having this card for only 50K MT is a good value for the point guard position.
Shooting Guard: Kevin Durant
Gem Tier: Dark Matter
Overall: 99
Theme: End Game
Position: SF/SG
Height: 6'10" (208 cm)
Wingspan: 7'4" (223 cm)
Kevin Durant is one of the best shooting guards in MyTEAM. At 6 feet, 10 inches tall, Kevin Durant is certainly taller than the average guards in the game. You can get this End Game card for under 200K MT points and maybe even for 150K on Xbox, which is a pretty good deal for such an excellent player.
Small Forward: Bol Bol
Gem Tier: Dark Matter
Overall: 99
Theme: Interdimensional
Position: PF/SF
Height: 7'2" (218 cm)
Wingspan: 7'7" (231 cm)
You can get the Interdimensional Bol Bol for under 100K MT. Compared with the Hero version, this card has a bit lower stats in Attributes, but it still has the same Animations as the Hero version. Moreover, Bol Bol is the second-best small forward in the team, right behind Victor Wembanyama.
The Bol Bol (Interdimensional), Kevin Durant (End Game), and Nikola Jokic (Out of Position 2) will only cost you around 400K MT in total. But they are all top-tier at their positions.
Power Forward: Victor Wembanyama
Gem Tier: Dark Matter
Overall: 99
Theme: NEXT
Position: PF/C
Height: 7'5" (226 cm)
Wingspan: 8'0" (243 cm)
For only 70K-80K MT, you can have this NEXT Victor Wembanyama, a very tall and athletic player, standing at 7'5" with an 8'0" wingspan, which makes your team powerful enough to hang with any team in the game.
Center: Ming Yao
Gem Tier: Dark Matter
Overall: 99
Theme: Titans
Position: C
Height: 7'6" (228 cm)
Wingspan: 7'9" (236 cm)
This Titans version card of Ming Yao is only 90K-100K MT right now, and if you compare it with the Hero version, you will find that except for the Shot 3pt, everything else is almost the same. Yes, it also has fewer badges than the Hero version, but the difference is slight.
Point Guard: Ben Simmons
Gem Tier: Dark Matter
Overall: 99
Theme: Titans
Position: PG/PF
Height: 6'11" (210 cm)
Wingspan: 7'0" (213 cm)
You can get this card for only 20K-30K. Although this Titans Ben Simmons is not a great offensive card and doesn't have a great jump shot, he is a great defender. If you can put the right players around this him, he can still be amazing at the point guard position.
Shooting Guard: Tracy McGrady
Gem Tier: Dark Matter
Overall: 99
Theme: Radiant
Position: SF/SG
Height: 6'8" (203 cm)
Wingspan: 7'2" (218 cm)
The Radiant Tracy McGrady card also costs only 20K-30K MT, but the card has an amazing jump shot and decent dribble signatures.
Small Forward: Paolo Banchero
Gem Tier: Dark Matter
Overall: 99
Theme: End Game
Position: PF/SF
Height: 6'10" (208 cm)
Wingspan: 7'0" (213 cm)
You can easily get the End Game version card of Paolo Banchero for 150K MT or even lower. With decent stats in Attributes, Animations, and Tendencies, the End Game Paolo Banchero can do everything on the court, making him an excellent small forward next to Radiant Tracy McGrady and Titans Ben Simmons.
Since you have Paolo Banchero and Tracy McGrady in the team, your Ben Simmons doesn't need to score the ball. All he has to do is rebound, defend, slash the basket, and make a wide-open three.
Power Forward: Tacko Fall
Gem Tier: Pink Diamond
Overall: 95
Theme: Out of Position
Position: PF
Height: 7'6" (228 cm)
Wingspan: 8'2" (248 cm)
The Out of Position Tacko Fall has one of the best player models in the game, and you can easily get this card for 70K-80K MT, which is a pretty good price tag for a Tacko Fall card.
Center: Mark Eaton
Gem Tier: Dark Matter
Overall: 99
Theme: Encore
Position: Center
Height: 7'4" (223 cm)
Wingspan: 7'7" (231 cm)
The Encore Mark Eaton only costs 40K-50K, but he is a good interior defender. As a 7'4" Center with a 7'7" wingspan, Mark Eaton has one of the best player models in the game. Moreover, the Encore Mark Eaton has an excellent rebounding ability like Tacko.
Shooting Guard: Tim Thomas
Gem Tier: Dark Matter
Overall: 99
Theme: Interdimensional
Position: SF/SG
Height: 6'10" (208 cm)
Wingspan: 7'2" (218 cm)
This 6'10" shooting guard has one of the better jump shots in the game and moves extremely fast. What is more, such a good card only costs 20K-25K MT to get.
Small Forward: Kevin Garnett
Gem Tier: Dark Matter
Overall: 99
Theme: Out of Position 2
Position: SG/SF
Height: 6'11" (210 cm)
Wingspan: 7'2" (218 cm)
The Out of Position 2 Kevin Garnett is a good defensive small forward that can be versatile and knock down threes.
Point Guard: Amen Thompson
Gem Tier: Dark Matter
Overall: 99
Theme: NEXT
Position: PG/SG
Height: 6'7" (200 cm)
Wingspan: 7'0" (213 cm)
Amen Thompson is an all-around player and one of the best point guards in the game. If you want a player to replace Ben Simmons for better scoring, Amen Thompson is a good option because he can score the ball at a high level.
