That's kind of the problem with park/ pro am along with the amount of skilled 7'3" bigs (there are only 2 in the league, Porzingas and Marajnavic) it makes for a pretty unrealistic simulation

and I would say Porzi aint even a pure. he's a mix between a post scoring/shot creator and Sharp as the primary.
even if you only choose 2 archs for him. i would choose sharp as the primary and post scoring as the 2ndary probably.

So that means. there is no such thing as a 90+ rated pure sharp big. if thats the case. why is that in the game? See this kind of stuff breaks the game when it doesnt need to. now they have to nerf other stuff to try and fix something that should never be in the game to begin with. you see my point?

If you're going to allow a pure sharp build and you're saying they dont exist really or at least not the well known guys. that means the only pure sharp bigs out there are guys that arent well known which means they arent that good. now they're serviceable, they play a role but thats it. so that means even by chance you ramp your pure sharp big up to a 90 overall+ he should never become a star since there is no such thing as a pure sharp shooting star big. There's a reason for that. because pure sharps are never quick'/fast enough to be stars. They also can't straighten up and balance themselves quick enough to be able to destroy people with their natural shooting ability. They can do it a few times a game, enough to get them a few points and sit back down on the bench. in addition, they usually are atrocious on defense. so they are a complete liability. now i will say this. pure sharps in 2k19 are liabilities on defense. that is one thing 2k did well this year with that build.

PG: Patty Mills

Don't really know of a center. Closest one I can think of is Brook Lopez but he has some post game to him so he's not really a pure. Meyers Leonard perhaps?

I Have said curry is a shot creator, but I don't think necessarily only chucking threes is a necessity for a stretch big. What we want are people who get all of their threes from catch and shoot, feet set looks. That's what a true stretch big is. Dirk would also be a shot creator.



So like Kevin love is a pure sharpshooter in his shooting. He can hit some other stuff but his best shot is feet set 3. Nobody as a big is good enough to be only a spot up shooter in the NBA. They all have other skills. Sabonis was a stretch 5 because he took his threes as catch and shoot when he spaced the floor.



The idea of sharpshooter in video games is so misrepresented. It kinda makes more sense in the other game because it's not implying someone is only capable of shooting and there isn't a shot creator archetype. Shooters are shot creating Shooters. Even the dirk big is.



Nobody should be picking multiple sharps on the same team. Every team needs a guy like klay tho. But having three of them, makes no sense. If you want dudes to be as wet as sharps are you need to make them have to be catching and shooting even off a curl. Once they put the ball down, it shouldnt make them inept but they should lose that extreme wetness.



It might be better to take sharpshooter primary out of the game. I also like the idea of badges you can equip and only have say five of em. To make your player unique, instead of primary secondary with pre chosen badges.



So you can get a j beyond your players capabilities or theoretically create steph, but you'd be giving up other things like westbrook, it's not like he can't hit 35 footers or 3s but he's way streakier. But he can do things curry can't too.



Again, as long as sharpshooter is a build of choice I don't see how 2k can be an enjoyable bball Sim even w all the threes people make now. Because it basically means there's only one build that can hit. Sure everyone can kinda hit but the difference between a sharp and everyone else is way larger than real life. Wb could probably force curry shots and hit 30 percent of them. Curry is gonna hit 45 or 50 that's a huge difference but in 2k it's like twice that.

Edit: so basically peoples skillet should be composed of abilities like catch n shoot. On top of their other skillset. Or limitless range. So like give dudes three offensive badges and three defensive/misc or something. To build a player. Make them interchangeable so you can balance them w o people wasting 100 bucks every time you do.



So like you can have a dude who shoots off the dribble, catches and shoots, and can pass let's say. But his catch and shoot ability would be a separate thing from his shoot off the dribble. That's the flaw of sharps, they are so good at shooting they can even make shots off the dribble at a high rate. They are just good at all shooting. But that's not how it works esp w bigs.

Re: Who are the Real Life NBA Pure Sharpshooters?

I agree, the best way to make the game would be to have set builds. then we can pick a few badges to make our guy unique. No grind means no cash tho so we can't have too much fun unfortunately.

his outside shooting type was stretch big, but he wasn't bad inside and was actually a decent body defender.

Re: Who are the Real Life NBA Pure Sharpshooters?

I think the best examples are Klay , JJ Reddick , and Peja.

I don’t really see any other player coming close to this madness .

I don’t really see any other player coming close to this madness .

as a Kings fan back then, Peja had a much more varied game than that. More like Bojan Bogdanovic but a better shooter. Able to put the ball on the floor quite a bit.

I'd actually suggest the best examples are Korver and Anthony Tolliver. In fact Tolliver rarely shoots anything but threes and they are catch and shoot 90% of the time.

Re: Who are the Real Life NBA Pure Sharpshooters?

Why does everyone keep saying Klay? He makes constant back cuts and goes to the hoop regularly. He doesn’t just post up in the corner and shoot 3’s. He’s also the best perimeter defender on the team lol. When I think of pure sharpshooters I think of guys like Korver, Redick, Joe Harris, Etc.

Yep Miles. because brook lopez is a ctually a low post center with a hint of sharp. and thats only recently. post scoring sharp. not pure.

Miles on the other hand has zero post game and is weak as it gets for no reason either. he should be much better than he is. but he aint. lol. Yet if you leave him open, he will light you up.
