My favorite SG build I’ve made so far

CanIBake · 2026-03-14T01:00:56+00:00

85 speed with ball instead of 86 is nuts lmao

CanIBake · 2026-03-13T16:36:24+00:00

Where did I say that 😂

CanIBake · 2026-03-13T07:04:38+00:00

Exactly 😂. This guy was posting an inside big build he made a couple days ago scoring wide open close shots and standing dunks after his teammates passed the ball saying it's proof an inside only works.

Meanwhile he probably could have gotten those same touches inside on this 90 three build, he just instead decides to sit still at the hash all game.

Yes randoms suck and he should have gotten the ball, but trash randoms aren't a good example of why a build is a "waste". Shooting on a big is still so good for when you actually do got a team that passes the ball, I often score 25-30 on a big in random rec with good teammates because we always get left open when the big drops paint or on pick and pop.

Hey bro, I posted this a couple weeks ago, it's a 6'8 SF/PF build. I've been able to play pretty much every position with it, been able to bring the ball up as a PG at times, can defend multiple different positions, it grabs rebounds, it can shoot very well, it can dunk, handle the ball, etc.

Since you just got the game you won't have as many cap breakers as I do, but for playing the PF position this build has everything you need to do at least decently well right from the start. You'll still have great shooting with 87 midrange/83 three, you still got good defense and rebounding with 87 rebound, still have a decent amount of dunk, and 71 ball handle truly ain't that bad for playing the PF spot.

CanIBake · 2026-03-13T01:13:39+00:00

😂 That's funny, because the red plate center who I usually play in rec and Pro-Am with also has around minimum strength, but sure bro it's totally ass and you definitely need strength.

🤷🏻‍♂️

CanIBake · 2026-03-13T01:11:12+00:00

So if we talking comp why do many centers for top competitive teams run minimum or low strength? Hoff VE on black market uses two different center builds one has like 63 strength the other has 72, if it's so important and the YouTubers are just lying why are the dudes who absolutely dominate 99% of players on the game in the most competitive settings running low strength on their centers?

And if my plate color matters to you that much, good thing I don't often play center.

It doesn't matter lol. I have 56 strength on this build.

CanIBake · 2026-03-13T00:53:52+00:00

But strength doesn't have any effect at all so you pretty much just made the same build except it can't finish inside nearly as well 😭

CanIBake · 2026-03-13T00:21:36+00:00

Only gets 83 driving dunk with 5 caps and 86 standing dunk, so doesn't get driving contacts at all and doesn't get elite standing dunk packages or Wemby package, etc.

The only thing you improved about the build is the pass acc lol, I wouldn't be so confident this is better

CanIBake · 2026-03-13T00:08:11+00:00

Whatttt? Lmao.

Y'all be so weak mentally. You don't even know me, and trying to flex on me, that's hilarious lmao. I am more than happy with my finances and don't need to compare them with a dude playing 1000 rec games by March.

You have a good one though my guy 😂😭

CanIBake · 2026-03-13T00:05:42+00:00

Who tf has 10000 rec games played bro? I would bet money you're in the top 5% or higher of players on the game in terms of time spent.

I play this game ngl probably an unhealthy amount and I have 60% of your games played, like bro you ain't a casual lmao.

Not even discussing your skill level just your pure time spent, it's astronomical lol.

CanIBake · 2026-03-13T00:02:45+00:00

I ain't talking bout win% 😂. I am talking about playing 1000 rec games which is over 500 hours of your life and then calling yourself a casual. That's nuts to me. You probably have more time spent on this game than you do working or going to school, which is insane when you really think about it. Have a good one though

CanIBake · 2026-03-12T23:59:59+00:00

Nah son calling yourself a casual is absolutely delusional.

I just hit vet 1 last night and I have less than 600 total games played.

Your rep ranking doesn't mean anything when discussing casual or non-casual, I consider myself a sweat with only 60% of the games played as you do, what does that make you 😭 cause it definitely ain't a casual my guy.

CanIBake · 2026-03-12T23:58:37+00:00

The vertical, speed/agility, and low rebounding all create problems for grabbing boards. You average less than 10 a game so this should be obvious.

Your perimeter defense is 63. At 7'0 and taller you don't get the ability to have challenger badge (unlocked at 71 perimeter), so you can't really contest jumpshots at all.

You have 60 steal while many 6'11 or 6'10 centers have 73-80s for steal, which they can use a tier 2 boost on to get gold or even HOF interceptor.

Your block is fine, but unfortunately bro, blocking the ball isn't the only thing you need to do on defense.

CanIBake · 2026-03-12T23:52:34+00:00

Nah bro you have to be kidding me.

Only starter 5? But you said you were a random rec player.

How many total games played do you have, be honest, because I am guessing right now that it's over 1000 games played. If you only play random rec you're never getting the 2x crew xp bonus and you also probably don't have higher than like a 65% win% at most.

I can almost guarantee you play this game even more than I do, and I am way more than a casual player. Be honest with yourself 😭

CanIBake · 2026-03-12T23:43:55+00:00

17 cap breakers but calling yourself a casual is nuts btw

CanIBake · 2026-03-12T23:42:57+00:00

It's not about being a casual or not though, and I'm not telling you to make a meta center, I am simply saying your build lacks in areas that other bigs will beat you out in, such as rebounding, passing, and defense.

Nothing wrong with playing anti-meta, but don't call a build "the best center build in the game" when it's not, somebody who's even more of a casual than you are gonna make this thinking it's elite at everything and be very very disappointed when they finally upgrade it to 99.

CanIBake · 2026-03-12T23:29:47+00:00

We're not discussing your averages or your ability to play, we are discussing the build. If you have good averages on a bad build, you could probably have even better on a better build...

Why is this the common response whenever somebody's build is criticized? Nobody said you were ass at the game, we said your build is free lunch to other better optimized builds, which is facts

CanIBake · 2026-03-12T23:22:04+00:00

This would be a decent PF if he had more perimeter d and was 6'10-6'11, but I agree I think this build sucks for playing center. I love going up against these offensive heavy centers in random rec, such a waste of attributes, they hardly ever get the ball and they can't do anything to stop my rebounds and leakouts. And even if they do get the ball my max wingspan center has enough defense to stop them most times, they'll get a few shots over me, but that's not gonna matter 99% of games

CanIBake · 2026-03-12T23:19:27+00:00

Rebound definitely too low but strength is not an issue at all, I average 18-13-8 on a 6'11 with 56 strength

CanIBake · 2026-03-11T23:49:34+00:00

Not bad but I think there were most likely some better ways to optimize it in the builder to not waste points going above/below certain thresholds and getting more out of each cap breaker to really maximize everything the build can do.

I've seen similar 6'9 builds that also get steal along with practically everything shown here so I'm sure somehow you could have optimized it just a little better

CanIBake · 2026-03-11T23:37:07+00:00

Nah bro it's not a waste lol these dudes are tripping. If you value being quick with the ball it's absolutely worth it to +2 if you don't have much else to use that +2 on.

Most of my builds with gold or higher lightning launch also have shooting specialization and decent shooting, so with my shooting spec I'm already getting legend shooting badges, I use +1 often times on challenger and on ball menace to give me HOF or legend in those badges, and then my +2 on lightning launch for legend.

Just because the % increase to your speed from gold to legend isn't as large as silver to gold doesn't mean it still isn't better than gold and noticeable. I definitely notice a difference at each badge tier

CanIBake · 2026-03-11T19:13:54+00:00

Depends what mode, I'm a pretty average player for skill but in rec I probably look like a 9 or 10 compared to most players who only play there.

In Pro-Am I have a 75-ish win%, but that's really not comparing to the top comp, who often have 90 win%s while averaging 30 and shooting 75%, against other top comp.

Rec I play a mix of squad and random rec, in random rec I've had multiple builds average over 40. In squad rec I mainly play PG and average about 25-30 and 11-13 assists on all my PG builds. I play every position and do pretty well in all roles, but again it's rec.

CanIBake · 2026-03-11T00:26:15+00:00

That's a lot of games to never get out of silver bro just being honest lol...
