    SILVER: Deadeye (+1), Shifty Shooter (ADD), Slippery Off-Ball
    DEFENSE
    SILVER: Off-Ball Pest
    BRONZE: Challenger, On-Ball Menace, Pogo Stick

    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: Boxout Beast (+1), Immovable Enforcer, Rebound Chaser (+1)
    BRONZE: Brick Wall (ADD)

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

    DEFENSE
    GOLD: Challenger (+2), Glove (+1)
    SILVER: Interceptor, On-Ball Menace (ADD), Pick Dodger
    BRONZE: Immovable Enforcer (ADD)

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

    ---------------------------------------------------
    Andrew Nembhard (IND)
    TOTAL: 14 (+3)

    DEFENSE
    GOLD: Challenger (+1), Glove (+2)
    SILVER: Interceptor (ADD), Off-Ball Pest, On-Ball Menace (ADD), Pick Dodger (ADD)

    As with Dunn, they apparently just realized Nembhard is a defensive guard.

    ---------------------------------------------------
    Jordan Hawkins (NOP)
    SHOOTING
    GOLD: Set Shot Specialist (+1)
    BRONZE: Deadeye (ADD), Mini Marksman

    SILVER: Ankle Assassin, Unpluckable
    BRONZE: Lightning Launch
    DEF/ATH/REB
    SILVER: Pogo Stick (ADD), Rebound Chaser

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

    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.

        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.
