    Which makes sense. Layup/dunk can be 13/25 with a LD-PG Which would put his 3pt and shoot off the dribble in the mid 60s max I would guess. Mid range maybe around 70.

    Just guessing of course.

    Pretty sure Playmaker/Sharpshooter/Shot creator is going to be the way to go for the 1 or 2. I'm going with Playmaker for my one and Shot Creator for the 2. Slasher and sharpshooter waste too many points in strength and rebounding.

    That is how I am picking this year. Decide what two stats you care least about and pick the type that doesn't force you to waste points in them.

            So a 6'7 or 6'8 PF. *Probably* going with an Athletic Finisher.. This way I can max out speed to compensate for the extra pounds I'll need to bang inside. Has the highest playmaking out of the archetypes I've seen so there's another bonus. (If my shooting isn't at least passable I'll have to go with a Stretch Big.)

            Alter a shot -> grab the rebound -> take it coast to coast to hit an open shooter or go to the hole for a slam. That's the plan

              Since my Grandmother told me not to criticize how something is done unless you have a better idea. Hear are what I think should be caps for a PG lockdown defender. Note the total is still 150 points.

              SoD 15/25
              L/D 13/25
              Mid 12/25

              PM 15/25
              Def 25/25

              For a SG Lockdown Defender I would make it this.

              SoD 15/25
              L/D 13/25
              Mid 14/25

              PM 10/25
              Def 25/25

              and SF would be.

                I assume ball control is still under Playmaking right? If so does that mean that shot creators, slashers and sharpshooters will be locked out from certain dribble moves? Since their playmaking is around 15ish compared to a playmakers/pass first 25.

                  I think I'm going with the Playmaker archetype for my PG. Dimer, Ankle Breaker, P&R Maestro, Flashy Passer and Lob City Passer as your upgradeable badges are just too good to pass up. The Slasher archetype is really going to tug at me, though, and I still haven't gotten to my SG yet. Decisions, decisions...

                        lol I've had these for a few days but got lazy to post them my bad. Hopefully this helps some of you out. I'm not too sure what his height was but I believe it was 6'6-6'8 range if not mistaken.

                          I assume 6-8 is still the max height for SG's so these stats seems fairly reasonable.(do u know what the guy had the wingspan at?) Have you got some screenshots of Shot-Off-Dribble maxed out?

                            I mean that's cool but - IMO for next year - aside from 3 mandatory attributes. I say we should get to pick our own limitations based on decreasing mandatory stat caps. So basically using a SF lockdown defender as an example. 2k mandatory stats are defense/athlete/strenghth. Those 3 are above 20 this year. Every build should have 3 mandatory 20s. Lets say they are all 25 = 75 (doesn't have to be 25 we could shuffle numbers just a concept). Out of the next seven stats - you get to pick in the following way. 1st is 18 - 2nd is 16 - 3rd 15 - 4th 14 - 5th 12 - 6th 10 - 7th 10 = 150 points. Stat caps may vary depending on the chosen stat cap for mandatory stats. Decreasing stat caps don't have to be that way specifically but again - its a concept.

                                Sadly I wasn't there when he created his player so that stuff I have no clue and he wasn't the brightest crayon in the box. He skipped over Shot off dribble and only did those.
