Build Overview:

The strength of this build is defense and finishing. The low to mid 80’s for close shot, layup, and driving dunk paired with this build’s quick ball handling abilities, and freakish 94 vertical rating will make defenders think twice about stepping in the lane out of fear of you putting them on a poster.

On the other side of the ball your 85 perimeter defense, 81 lateral quickness, 80 steal, and 76 block will enable you to lock up most players on defense. Once you get your lock down defender takeover – forget about it, nobody will be able to score on you.

This build is a solid blend of scoring and defense. You will be able to hit mid range jumpers at a respectable to high rate depending on the badges you have and how good you are at hitting the “sweet spot” on your jump shot to get a perfect release.

The one weak point for this build would be the 69 rating for the three point shot. (similar to Bruce Brown) Getting your shooting badges developed and mastering your jump shot will be an absolute must. If you do that then you will be able to overcome this builds slight shooting deficiency and get lots of perfect releases. Teammates will love you, opponents will hate you.
