Restaurant Point Guard – Three-Point Shooter

The idea behind this construction is straightforward and uncomplicated: it's a humongous individual with an enormous wing span. This places a significant emphasis on offense with the goal of producing a point guard who is equally adept at dunking the ball as he is at shooting 3-point shots. However, given how common it is, you should be prepared to run into it quite frequently.

Now, this is the important part. An SG that is an inch shorter than a PG may sound strange, but considering how common the above build is in PvP, you'll need to outmaneuver them if you want to finish with an SG. An SG that is an inch shorter than a PG may sound strange. Layups and dunks will serve you well here, but you should put more of an emphasis on your agility to increase the number of times you can score without being contested.

This build is predicated on LeBron James's abilities. You won't be able to play exactly like LeBron James if you have this build, but you will be able to play in a manner similar to how he does thanks to his 7 feet, 6 inches wingspan. It is LeBron's power, speed, ability to create plays for his teammates, and posterizer dunks that make him who he is. Not to mention the potential for blocking that is demonstrated here.

If you have ever needed a more concrete illustration of how far the NBA 2K23 meta deviates from the actual game, this recommendation that your power forward should be taller than your point guard should suffice. We're going to be putting a lot of emphasis on defense right now, looking for endless rebounds and blocking as many shots as you possibly can. However, you will have access to an effective three-point shot, which will allow you to begin constructing your offense as well.

The Center position is a 2-Way Inside-The-Arc Scorer in NBA 2K23 3.

There are a lot of builds for Centers that will tell you to park it around the 6'9 range, but in this meta, where most players are around the 6'8 mark, you'll want to go taller for a proper height advantage. A lot of builds for Centers will tell you to park it around the 6'9 range. Even if you have a lower speed stat, it will give you good opportunities to defend, and it will make your dunks and layups nearly impossible to stop.
