The other thing of note is that even with nearly full tower strength and rebounding are not overwhelming. I feel as though a lot of the gain from agility is wasted. Hard to make use of the little extra since you have a lot being small already.

You could make a really interesting big PG though. The extra agility would keep you from being too slow and you could drive all the small PGs crazy by posting on the all the time like Magic. You don't need to be a great passer to kick it out if they bring help.

I like that 6ft3 lock down PG - he's better than I envisioned

That middy looks reliable so he can space the floor still. His dribbling behavior may need to be need conservative but he'll be a threat off ball. He will make a great dynamic duo with another teammate who can be the dominant ball handler.

Settled on making a 6'8 LockDown PF similar to Paul Millsap. Offense won't be good so I might as well play some hardnosed D (Speed + Strength combo at the PF spot will be awesome). Also might try out a shorter Athletic Larry Johnson type build later on.

To me that is the one Lockdown type that could work. All that speed and agility in a big guy. He could work around on big guys and backdown any 1-3 guys and of course defend pretty much anybody.

His only defensive weakness might be getting caught deep in the post by a tall post up guy. But I'd be surprised if we see a lot of those guys.

Stay away from the 6'6 - 6'7 athletic finisher PF, that's my route!

Probably old news by now; but here is complete list of bucket caps.

Re: Player Archetypes NBA 2k17

Is it just me or does it seem like even though you can create players great at everything this year it takes as much VC to get to the role player you can create?

In fact I want to say it is going to take even more VC to create a player that isn't as good as you could create last year.



For that lcodown pg just posted it was nearly 250K VC to fully upgrade, if you could do that.
