Best Point Guard build in NBA 2K23

To create the optimal point guard build in NBA 2K23, it is recommended to focus on a 3PT Playmaker build. As the primary ball handler on the team, this build will enable you to deliver precise passes and confidently take shots from any location on the court.

This build entails allocating most of your attribute points into shooting and playmaking skills, while also considering some athleticism. Prioritizing shooting, playmaking, and that quota of athleticism, you can unlock two important badges: Limitless Range and Pull-Up Precision. With these badges, you will get great shooting skills like Steph Curry or Damian Lillard.

Best Shooting Guard build in NBA 2K23

If becoming a Shooting Guard is your goal, you should prioritize a 2-Way Inside-Out Scorer playing style, which will give you outstanding versatility when attacking the rim. Developing this playing style will be a headache for the opposing defense as they will have to be attentive to not leave you spaces both inside and outside the three-point line.

For this build, you need the Finishing Moves and Spot-Up badges. It’s also highly recommended to have the Catch & Shoot badge for perimeter play.

Physical Profile:

• Height: 6’8″
• Weight: 212 lbs

Best Small Forward build in NBA 2K23

The Small Forward position is one of the most prominent on the team. For this build, you must once again focus on outside shooting as well as finishing in the paint. However, the standout feature will be the impenetrable defense that will give headaches to attackers.

To excel in this build, it is important to invest in defensive badges such as Clamps, Intimidator, and Defensive Leader. These badges will help you shut down opponents and make it difficult for them to score. Additionally, having shooting badges like Corner Specialist will enhance your offensive capabilities from the perimeter.

Best Power Forward build in NBA 2K23

The Power Forward may be considered the unpopular position in NBA 2K23 since it lacks a three-point shot, but its importance lies in its defensive capabilities. For this build, you must prioritize strong defense, effective finishing in the paint, and rebounding skills.

To excel in this build, it is important to invest in defensive badges such as Rebound Chaser, Rim Protector, and Clamps. These badges will enhance your ability to defend the paint, contest shots, and secure rebounds. Additionally, focusing on finishing badges like Contact Finisher and Putback Boss will improve your scoring around the rim. With this build, you can dominate defensively and contribute to the team’s success through your rebounding and inside scoring abilities.

With a height of 7’1″ and a wingspan of 7’11”, the goal is to make life difficult for both opposing centers and anyone attempting to enter the paint. While most of the badges will focus on defense, it is also important to consider the value of effective finishing around the opponent’s rim.
