Guards

Primary Ball Handler / Secondary Sharpshooter

Playstyle

This is a pass first build that can still shoot at an effective rate to run the point guard position in a 4 or 5 out ProAm offense. This build is quick with the ball and capable of beating his man off the dribble. Favor layups over dunks as you will get blocked less but do not expect to hit contested layups consistently. This build is also great for park, especially in threes. We chose a SG because we like the badges more than a PG, but the attributes are still very similar.

Build details

Position	SG
Archetype	Sharpshooting Playmaker
Height	6'5
Weight	205
Wingspan	Min

Pros

Fast with and without the ball
+ shooter when open
Gold Dimer
Tier 3 Dribbles after 1 cap breaker

Cons

Weaker Defensively
Cannot Finish in traffic well
More of a stand still shooter

Primary Shot Creator / Secondary Ball Handler

Playstyle

This is probably the best all around Guard build this year. It can do a little of everything. It could be better than the sharpshooting playmaker. The other build has a little more catch and shoot ability while this build can finish better/shoot moving shots. PG for more playmaking and SG for more offense. Personal preference.

Build Details

Position	PG
Archetype	Playmaking Shot Creator
Height	6'4
Weight	Min
Wingspan	Between Min and Default

Pros

Fast with and without the ball
Creates Offense better than any other build
Gold Dimer
Versatile

Cons

Weaker Defensively
Not as great in catch and shoot

Primary Shot Creator / Secondary Finisher

Playstyle

This is probably more of a Park build, but it is great if you want a guard that can finish a little better than the other two guards. It can speedboost and get contact dunks (although it takes a high overall I believe), but it can reach those attributes while heating up. Still very versatile with mid 70s shooting. Go PG if you want silver dimer and SG if you want silver shooting badges.

Build Details

Position	PG
Archetype	Slashing Shot Creator
Height	6'4
Weight	Default
Wingspan	Short enough to get 86 Ball Control

Pros

Fast with and without the ball
Very strong and crafty finisher
Can shoot when open

Cons

Weaker Defensively
Less Playmaking ability than other guards
Can be inconsistent shooting

Wings

Primary Defender / Secondary Defender

Playstyle

With 2k19s improved defense, lockdowns become much more important again, especially in team pro am. With Silver corner and Silver poster, they are still a threat on offense, but the Hall of Fame defensive badges are way to good to pass up on.

Build details

Position	SG
Archetype	Pure Lockdown
Height	6'8
Weight	200
Wingspan	Max

Pros

Lockdown Defense
Great length to force turnovers in passing lanes
99 steal and HoFpickpocket
Can hit open shots
HoF Bruiser to drain PG stamina
Can keep up with any PG
Can guard players taller than him

Cons

Limited on Offense
No Ball Handling
Can be inconsistent shooting
Weaker finishing

Primary Shot Creator / Secondary Sharpshooter

Playstyle

Probably the most well rounded wing build. It is an offensive machine. It can stretch the floor, finish around the rim, and has decent handles.

Build Details

Position	SF
Archetype	Sharpshooting Shot Creator
Height	6'7
Weight	182
Wingspan	Slightly less than default

Pros

Gold Shooting Badges
Above Average Finishing
Can hit moving shots/post fades
Semi Athletic

Cons

Weaker on Defense
Only decent at ball handling

Primary Sharpshooter / Secondary Sharpshooter

Playstyle

Every year we hear shooting is going to be harder and Pure sharps are dead. Once again that is not the case. Pure sharps work in any lineup and they provide the best spacing of any archetype. They are fairly one dimensional but they are elite at their main skill. You can also go a little taller if you want to be more of a catch and shoot type.

Build Details

Position	SG
Archetype	Pure Sharpshooter
Height	6'5
Weight	Min
Wingspan	Min

Pros

HoF Shooting Badges
Can hit 100% of open shots if timed correctly
Best Spacing Archetype
Fits into any lineup
Can get tier 2 dribble moves

Cons

Worst Defender
One Dimensional

Primary Shot Creator / Secondary Finisher

Playstyle

Very similar to the sharpshooting shot creator it just had better finishing ability rather than shooting. It is still a threat to shoot, but its driving ability is great. We like this over a slasher primary because of the threat to shoot.

Build Details

Position	SF
Archetype	Slashing Shot Creator
Height	6'9
Weight	240
Wingspan	90'3

Pros

Gold Finishing Badges
Silver Shooting Badges
Athletic for a wing
Can guard guards

Cons

Weaker on Defense against bigger players
Inconsistent Shooting at times
Needs the right team composition

Bigs

Primary Rebounder / Secondary Rebounder

Playstyle

This build is more for Pro am and 2s in Park. Its more of a role build rather than a 1st option. Rebounding is very important in 2k and this build is the best at it. Creating/preventing extra possessions is what leads to games. Use this build if you want to rebound/play a little D, but are ok with mostly setting screens and scoring on cuts/putbacks.

Build details

Position	C
Archetype	Pure Glass Cleaner
Height	7'1
Weight	Max
Wingspan	Max

Pros

Best Rebounder in the game
Strong in the Post with 99 strength and silver Rim Protector
Great screener

Cons

Cannot create offense well
Struggle guarding post scorers
No spacing

Primary Sharpshooter / Secondary Sharpshooter

Playstyle

Just like the Pure Sharp, this build is one dimensional but great at what it does. Can be useful in park and pro am with the right teammates as spacing is always valuable. If takeover is activated they just do not miss.

Build Details

Position	PF
Archetype	Pure Stretch 4
Height	6'11
Weight	Min
Wingspan	Slightly below default

Pros

Lights out Shooting
Provides spacing for teammates
Pick and Pop is strong

Cons

One dimensional
Not good at finishing or rebounding
Weaker on defense

Primary Finisher/ Secondary Rebounder

Playstyle

This is more of a brute force offensive big build. It can finish down low and rebound very well. It has some of the best badges of any Big build. Use this build in pick and roll.

Build Details

Position	C
Archetype	Rebounding Athletic
Height	7'1
Weight	275
Wingspan	Max

Pros

Strong rebounder
Very strong finisher
Great screener

Cons

Lack of post moves
Not much spacing

Primary Post Scorer/ Secondary Shot Creator

Playstyle

2k has buffed post scorers this year. And a nerf could be coming at some point. If you like to get craft down low, then the post scorer big is the build for you. This is a more advanced build. It can shoot, fade, and bully down low.

Build Details

Position	C
Archetype	Shot Creating Post Scorer
Height	7
Weight	Max
Wingspan	Max

Pros

Decent spacing
Post moves are strong
Post fades are overpowered
Silver Dimer
Great Offensive Badges

Cons

Not great defense
Very slow
Rebounding is ok

Primary Rebounder / Secondary Sharpshooter

Playstyle

If you want an all around role player big that can play defense, rebound, and do the dirty work for your team, then this build is a perfect fit.

Build Details

Position	PF
Archetype	Rebounding Defender
Height	7
Weight	Max
Wingspan	Max

Pros

HoF Defensive badges
Good rebounding
Shuts down opponents bigs

Cons

Weak offensively
No spacing
Can only score on open cuts
