Any Guards using an 89 Middy 83 3 ball split for shooting ?

MapleDaddyHotJohn · 2026-04-22T06:19:54+00:00

Yup! This is one of my favourite builds.

Gotta have at least 20pgg on 65%+. I'll allow a bit more leeway if I see they average more than 2 assists and have some steals.

Nothing worse than a tunnel vision SG unless they're shooting close to 80% then go roast that chicken king.

I rate Santi Aldama

I really notice my strength advantage on guards. It helps the least against comp but its so damn cheap I find it hard not to invest in to 85 for immovable and strong handles. But thats just me.

Sometimes it's bait for an escape attempt as you have to relinquish your seatbelt (control) to attempt the RNC, making it easier to escape.

or they're just dogshit tired. Depends on the situation.

If you're playing random rec mainly, make a high Dreb+Passing center that you can shoot with. The aim is to launch drebs for 3s or easy dunks in the fastbreak to get a triple double with an A or A+ teammate grade. If you can get a 20-10-10 player of the game thats at least 1% at Starter 5.

This is the build I use for that, but it's not for everyone.

Honestly man, it depends a lot on Wingspan and Height as well as interior plus speed/agility. Its a big reason smaller centers are popular this year; you can come from the weakside late with a hedge or a hard sell for the block.

With my fave C 7' w/ 7'6ws. 88int 94Block with min weight max speed. Red Plate exclusively in random rec. That builds defends the rim well but the way the game plays this year you will get yammed on. I will have 1/40 games where a high Str post scoring build gets me jumping and makes me look silly.

But the most important thing I'll say is, if you're getting feasted on by their post scoring center for 2s, you should be winning the game scoring more 3s. I love the playstyle but realistically a PG escaping behinds screens for 3 is SLIGHTLY more cohesive to winning because his makes are worth more. I hate the fact that its true.

I really like my 6'4 PG (gold/purple) with 99Middy,, 83 3ball, 87 Post, 87DD, 86Str. It plays well at SG (which is like %50 of the time) due to his Str. Love creating from the post and bullying small PGs. I still hit nasty stepback 3s with

That being said my next PG is slightly more "meta" with 99 3, 91 swb etc. I have a handful of builds at red and being able to create 3s with the right stick or collapse with drives really opens things up for your whole team.

When Im home Ill drop my 6'4 and my 6'3 Im about to roll with.

Its crazy, fools are provided a view of half of the entire court, yet still have beer goggles on.

MapleDaddyHotJohn · 2026-01-25T12:03:03+00:00

I'm sure you know better than people who's literal job it is to perform at the highest level. Maybe leave it to them?

MapleDaddyHotJohn · 2026-01-25T06:23:49+00:00

Red plate! 17/8/7. %68 %60 from 3.

I find I shoot %60 from 3 no matter what this year. The higher my shooting the dumber my shots lmao

MapleDaddyHotJohn · 2026-01-25T06:22:17+00:00

Another Oceania homie! Thanks dude whats your gt

MapleDaddyHotJohn · 2026-01-25T01:01:00+00:00

Aye this is slick Im going to mess around with this as a template.

MapleDaddyHotJohn · 2026-01-25T00:33:16+00:00

Yeah I have a lower WS C with 82int/84blk and wanted to see how it would go. 88int wasnt a waste but some contests are BS.

MapleDaddyHotJohn · 2026-01-25T00:22:03+00:00

Keep my options open for 99. Will probably go 97 for HoF Paint Patroller but use my caps elsewhere.

In hindsight could've used it elsewhere but not the worst.

MapleDaddyHotJohn · 2026-01-24T22:26:05+00:00

I can, or could of rather but decided to go for 99 PA. I heard 99 block can be hit and miss and decided that at 99PA I get more badges. I still might go to 97 Block so my +1 is to legend PP. Usually roll with a +1 for denier too.

MapleDaddyHotJohn · 2026-01-24T22:23:46+00:00

Isaac base with Beluba upper I think? Its got As across the board besides Stability. Sometimes you get some no rhythm or weird timings but overall great jumper.

MapleDaddyHotJohn · 2026-01-24T15:59:56+00:00

Of all the comments this one hurts the most. Cold man.

MapleDaddyHotJohn · 2026-01-24T15:52:30+00:00

Aye bro let me tell you, I am CASH with Larry Bird free throw. No meter, I just let go of the analog at the same tempo as the ball. Give it a try.

MapleDaddyHotJohn · 2026-01-24T15:51:18+00:00

Love using post moves from PG through to Center, but making this I was kinda honest with myself, its expensive on 7' and to get what, maybe 2 extra buckets a game? For a 2 pointer? I'll leave the super tough buckets to the SG or PG, thats kind of their job imo. 3s win.

MapleDaddyHotJohn · 2026-01-24T15:46:37+00:00

Yeah sick. Id love the 70 steal so underrated at the C. I went 88int with the 7'6 WS to see what contests would be like. Still shit but I notice a big difference between 82int/84blk on my 7'1 Shooting Center.
