Pro Am Builds For 2k19

Re: Pro Am Builds For 2k19

you may as well listen to them.

a shot-creating play is useless in the half court pretty much a jason kidd/lonzo build. cant shoot consistently if you dont trigger the pnr maestro or OMFB badge. where as the inverse of that build get a 86 mid so your lethal from there and can shoot the 3 better.

The build is not the issue. It's the player.. For the most part, there's not a single build in this game I say "oh, crap!" When i see them. Everyone has a weakness. While the playmaking shot creator has the most well rounded game, and least amount of weaknesses... I find the players have one fatal flaw: hubris. Most of the times these players rely on that mid rather than play a guessing game. These guys all want that screen and pop for a mid. Theres usually not any creativity from these guys. If you can play the screen and force them into longer 2s and contested 3s this build will NOT stand up to constant pressure. Their speed with ball isn't as high as a PM first build so if you give space and make them shoot they become vulnerable. The difference between this build and a PM first build is you truly have to fear the rest of the team too. HOF or Gold Dimer is more valuable to me at the 1, because if they send help, anyone is a threat from outside on my squad.

I wouldn't trade Gold/HOF Dimer and Gold/HOF ankle breaker for better shooting at the 1, but thats me. I'm not worried about silver dimer and I'm not worried about giving up a bunch of 2s either.

You knock a shot creator off the 3 point line and force them into heavy traffic, contested midrange youve done your job.

Basicaly, you wanna be unguardable 1 on 1 or you wanna make your team unguardable because any defensive lapses your teammates get the highest advantage in catch and shoot scenarios?

Playmaking Shot Creator PG gets Gold Dimer.

Ok, but SWB is only in the 80s unless you make him tiny and skinny, which makes him vulnerable on defense. My 92 SWB on my 6'6 Pure Playmaker is so fast its crazy.

I agree, one interesting thing I've noticed is that a longer wingspan player dribbles faster than a lower wingspan one. I made a 6'10 minimum wingspan Pure Point Forward a while ago and recently made a 6'10 max wingspan one and the difference in speed is noticeable.

What's the best iso 1on1 scorer build?

Re: Pro Am Builds For 2k19

Play Sharp is the way to go if you're playing the 1 in PRO AM. It's a bit more versatile than the Shot Maker build. You're not going to be able to spot up with a Shot Maker if a LDD is on you the entire game and you have to play off ball for a few possessions unless your lineup allows you to sit in the corner. I know a lot of people are running 2 locks nowadays in PRO AM so I'm not sure if that's gonna work.

Is best size for Glass Cleaners still 7’3 max/max? I’ve been hearing noise about 7’0 or 7’1 with normal weight. Any input?

Re: Pro Am Builds For 2k19

I've played quite a few rec games on my max wingspan 6'10 Pure Point Forward and i like it more than my minimum wingspan one. While the shooting is limited to the corners it basically does everything else better, it can guard pratically all 5 positions and rebound really well. In the game below we had a random PG, the PG and SF quit the game when we went up 11 with 1 minute left in the 4th quarter.

Re: Pro Am Builds For 2k19

All of those pure playmaker/point forward builds are going to be inconsistent shooters regardless of what you do to their wingspan, so you might as well max out their arms and turn your guy into a beast on defense/rebounds.

The best "two way playmaker/point forward" builds this year aren't the ones that actually combine those two archetypes (defense + playmaking), it's the ones that are tallish pure playmakers/point forwards with long arms.

I can't speak for rec/proam but in park a minimum wingspan 6'10 Pure Point Forward is consistent, im shooting roughly 60% 3PT the vast majority of the shots are from the wing or the top.

Re: Pro Am Builds For 2k19

I think you get 2 extra badges as a SG that are either bronze or silver. You can easily look it up on NBA2kLab and see what the difference is. PlaySharp is a really good build though. I prefer it much more over the shotmaker build.
