    Best PG Build for Pro-Am?

    My first build was a Playmaking Shot Creator and I enjoy his play style, but he's only 6'3 and I didn't max out his wingspan. I want to make a new, taller build with max wingspan and something that is more capapble to locking up opposing PGs. What builds would you guys recommend for comp pro-am?

    Honestly, if you're not going Pure Playmaker I'm not convinced any other build can really top it. I have a buddy with HOF Dimer and none of my characters are Sharp primary but I shoot like one when I play with him. Some of my friends who are used to creating their own shots and usually stick to the meter have a hard time playing with him because it DOES change the shot timing and give you more load ups. However, as someone with lower ratings (mid 70's on my 2 'shooting' archetypes) I've turned off the meter the last 3 years and only watch his hands. It really does make a difference.

        Our PG has sharpshooting-playmaker. Depends on playstyle, if you're not the type to shoot many threes then pure playmaker I would say.

          The answer is always it depends on what is around you and how you utilize it.

          I guess the most common build I see is the sharpshooting playmaker. But hey, if you're a great slashing playmaker and that's what you like to do, and you have shooters surrounding you, then why not that?

            It's all about your playstyle. IMO 6'8 ShotMaker or 6'9 PlayCreator. Both builds are OP if used correctly. It only takes 3 or so possessions to get on fire. Once that happens you can Green the 3ball pretty consistently. I wouldn't advise going in PRO-AM with a build under 6'5. You're gonna be food in there if your build is too small.

              I only play pro am and I have a 90 ovr Playmaking slasher. 6'3" 200 pounds, default wing and shoulders. My guy gets crazy poster animations very easily with his speed and ability to create space. I recently made and wish I had known about the Slashing shot creating build. Basically the exact same attributes but instead with 91 mid, 77 3 ball, and almost identical dunking. The added bonus is hall of fame ankle breaker. I avg 25 and 10 easily with my playmake though. I put up 36 and 14 with him yesterday. Silver dimer is plenty.

                Pure Playmaker no question about it. However, the answer is really that which you will perform best on a consistent basis - nobody can answer that but yourself. If you want to pass the ball, dribble crazily, and make your teammates better then it is pure playmaker.

                  I made a 6'7" pure playmaking PG.
                  With his speed, acceleration, height, max wingspan and lateral quickness... he can play great D.
                  Plus, he hits 3s better than I thought he would.

                  That's not even mentioning the strongest points.... the speed with ball, dribbling, passing etc...

                    I regret making mine SF but yes, 6'7 is amazing.
