NBA2K23 2022 NBA Draft Class Ratings (Lottery Edition)
On my Twitter page (@CourtSideHeat) and on the website (CourtSideHeat.com), I have been covering NBA2K23 extensively – especially for the final hours leading up to the game’s release. CourtSideHeat has covered top players on All-Time lists, NBA 75 Players, top players in the game, and so much more. I even got into teams.
This is going to be a short, but comprehensible, list of the lottery edition featuring rookies. Nothing too fancy, but still to the point of everything you need to know about this game. This is just for everyone to know what the rookies rank at and the best ones to use.

NOTE: We will update this article soon
CourtSideHeat will update this article as soon as attributes are known for the remaining players on this list to have been marked as “unknown”. Also check out our Twitter for more updates as it will first appear there and then on the site.
According to the Philadelphia 76ers, Joel Embiid has been upgraded to questionable for Friday’s game against the Charlotte Hornets.
The plan is for the team to reevaluate the 30-year-old hours before their game on Friday; it would be a quick turnaround. However, he is already progressing, so there is a possibility of him playing.
Embiid suffered a right sinus fracture during their game against the Indiana Pacers on December 13th; Philadelphia said they would reevaluate him a week from then.
Overall, Embiid has only played six games this season. This is mainly due to suspension, this current injury, and looming knee issues.
According to multiple reports headlined by Marc Stein, the Atlanta Hawks want to trade Clint Capela’s expiring contract by this year’s trade deadline.
For those unaware, the 30-year-old is making $22.4 million this season, with him becoming an unrestricted free agent next offseason. Atlanta is reportedly not interested in re-signing him.
Onyeka Okongwu, when Capela is no longer with the franchise, is expected to handle the starting center position. The Hawks believe the young big man can handle those responsibilities.
Capela is averaging 10.0 points and 9.4 rebounds in 27 games this season.
