A 6'8 lockdown built to guard the ball

This shooting guard sacrifices driving dunk and self-creation to chase guards, fight through screens, and space from the corner. It is a community stress-test build pending current-version verification.

How to use this guide

Copy only values explicitly stated by the source. Anything marked as partial or needing a screen check should be confirmed in the current builder before using a permanent character slot.

Role and mode

2v2 / 3v3

Position: SG. Best for: 2v2 and 3v3. Role: on-ball lockdown and corner spot-up shooter. It is not intended to run the offense or finish above the rim.

Body settings

Source stated

Height 6'8, wingspan 7'2, weight 180, Narrow body type. Unlike the other builds, the source treats Narrow as important for how this defender moves; handedness remains optional.

Finishing and playmaking

Low finishing

Close Shot 41, Driving Layup 71, Driving Dunk 25, Standing Dunk 40, Pass Accuracy 75, and Ball Handle 70. The 40 Standing Dunk is described as the minimum used to retain occasional standing finishes.

Shooting and physicals

One value pending

Mid-Range 90, Three-Point 85, Speed 97, Acceleration 94, Vertical 40, and Stamina 99. The transcript appears to state Strength 60, but that value should be confirmed from the builder screen before it is treated as exact.

Defense

Primary strength

Interior Defense 63, Perimeter Defense 92, Steal 87, and Block 73, with Lateral Quickness described as maxed. This allocation is the reason the build gives up Driving Dunk and limits its on-ball offense.

Badge priorities

Community loadout

Shooting: Catch and Pop, Corner Spot-Up, Tunnel Vision, Limitless Shooter, Relentless Shooter, and optional Quick Draw or Mid-Range Maestro. Playmaking: Dish Out and Quick Pass. Defense: Locks, Intimidator, Tough Angles, Thief, and Navigator, followed by Hustler. Finishing uses Relentless Finisher and Perfect Lays with limited investment.
