Rondo hasn't been an elite defender in about 3 years

Great defender with an offense that needs to be developed.
Tyler Johnson can shoot though

Athletic Finisher C - Willie Cauley-Stein maybe? (Wilt Chamberlain stretch comparison?)

This has to be the worst archetype of all, though. Usually, athletic bigs have some blocking skill to make themselves useful. This type of player won't even last in the NBA.

yea with steph as sharpshooter you wouldn't have the ankle breaker badge but you could buy all his dribble animations. with the 1:1 dribble system if you are deadly enough with the sticks this year i'm sure you can cross a lot of guys up on your way to a pull-up j. but i understand where you are coming from, maybe 2k18 they'll let us replicate more stars. idk why they show you the picture of these guys when you are selecting archetype when you really cant make them at all

Amare played a lot of center throughout his career, albeit undersized.

But I do understand your point.

Also a reason why those suns teams were poor defensively.

Amare had a well rounded offensive attack as well, even if he wasn't a back to the basket player.
