Build Overview: 

As you may have expected, the strength of this badge is shooting. If you are a fan of running around screens and frustrating the opponent with endless perfect release shots – then this is the build for you!

This build is also the easiest build to play with because it is fast with 80 speed and 80 acceleration and can shoot absolutely lights out with a potential of 90 for both the mid-range and three-point shot. With an 86.2″ wingspan and a 76 steal stat this build also can get plenty of steals so it has the potential to be a disruption on the defensive end if you time your steals correctly.

A slight downside for this build is that it is not the an elite finisher. An 85 close shot and 70 driving layup with only four finishing badges is not a death sentence though considering that most of your time will be spent away from the basket shooting jump shots, just like Luke Kennard.
