Evaluation

Overall, Pink Diamond Ivica Zubac is a bit overrated in NBA 2K23. He has yet to play his best game in reality so far. I think he needs to have the athleticism and accomplishments to be an NBA great. Only time will tell if Ivica Zubac is as good as people think he is. In the game, Pink Diamond Ivica Zubac has nothing unique compared to other Pink Diamond Cards.
