SILVER: Deadeye (+1), Shifty Shooter (ADD), Slippery Off-Ball

Grimes has had some big games of late, but where he's impressed in those games is as a driver, which 2K didn't account for here.

---------------------------------------------------
Adem Bona (PHI)
TOTAL: 4 (+4)
FINISHING
SILVER: Aerial Wizard
DEFENSE
GOLD: High-Flying Denier, Pogo Stick
SILVER: Rebound Chaser

Mobley's changes can be summarized with this one play.

PLAYMAKING

DEFENSE
GOLD: Challenger (+2), Glove (+1)

Pretty crazy that Dunn was missing these given he's NINE years into his NBA career.

GOLD: Float Game
BRONZE: Layup Mixmaster
SHOOTING

---------------------------------------------------

Detroit is 10-2 over the last month, so Cade gets another badge update even though he just got one in the last update.

Another recent ThinkingBasketball featurette:


In this update 2K clearly focused on buffing some of the NBA's most athletic defenders. I don't think these changes are perfect by any stretch (they usually go overboard), but it's a step in the right direction.

I loved the summary here. Very rare. But I'm happy


Edit I will say. I'm surprised Jalen Duren didn't get an update

Maybe I didn't notice this before. But Cade finally got paint prodigy. So he's a little more efficient in the post. Hit a hook and then a shimmy fade with him just now.
