Build Notes: If you are looking for a build with size and great inside out scoring ability then this is the build for you! This build has an 86 close shot, 78 driving layup, and 77 driving dunk to go along with a 74 vertical so attacking the rim should be the go to for this build.

This build is also solid at hitting jump shots with it’s 82 mid-range shot, 79 three point shot, and 12 shooting badges. Once you find a jump shot form that you like and develop some of your badges this build will be a real problem for opponents to deal with offensively.

Defensively is where this build lacks. A 71 interior defense and 63 perimeter defense leaves much to be desired. It does have a decent 72 defensive rebounding rating so that paired with your 6’8″ height will enable you to rebound proficiently against most other players.

One thing that you may notice is lacking from this build’s game that the real Griffin has is play making ability. This build has a 68 ball handle and 10 play making badges, and that feels too low for Griffin who is one of the best ball handling big men in the league.

This is another one of the downsides of the 2K myPlayer creation system, unicorns such as Griffin who are highly skilled at their size are largely underrepresented and hard to perfectly recreate. Nonetheless, this is still a great build if you are look for a strong offensively complete inside-out big to play with!
