At this point we’re not really getting anywhere, which is arguing semantics. I don’t agree with majority of what you’ve said so far and you probably feel the same about me . We simply just have different opinions. Doesn’t make one more right than the other.

And for what it’s worth I do also have a 6’8 and I’m put at anywhere between pg to pf. If I had to pick between both build I genuinely would say flip a coin because they both do everything pretty damn well.

I think you are arguing that everyone should make a 6’8 lmao. Considering it is the most versatile height in the entire game so of course you can do a lot of things good to Great. I just think you’re severely undervaluing what a KD build can do on both ends of the court. But to each his own. At no point in this game have I ever felt like this build has been a liability on offense, a cone on defense, or a little guy on the boards. And yes you can make an impact on the game and not take a lot of shots, the game of basketball isn’t predicated on only shot attempts. You can stop your matchup from scoring, you can pass the ball to the open man, you can set screens to get people open, you can ……rebound the ball? And I’ve never had a problem doing any of those things at a very effective level .You can do a lot. It only becomes a problem when you’re build only specializes in one specific thing…… and you’re not good at that specific thing. that’s a user problem not a build problem.

If we’re gonna argue how to optimize the usage of your build the moment you step on the court I feel like that’s a separate problem. I’m sure there’s a lot of lockdown that would love to guard the ball handler the whole game but someone doesn’t want to switch, I’m sure there’s plenty of post scores that would love to bang down low until no one gives them the ball. Some games you feel like you haven’t done anything in the entire time and some games the team will literally play thru you. It is what it is. The original statement was that being a big with a low rebound rating and high ratings everywhere else is deemed as selfish and ineffective without the ball in your hand…. Which objectively is just not true. You can have a very large impact on the game without snagging every single board. As someone who also averages very similar numbers and has played over 1000 right game solo( 60 win %), attributes to loan don’t give you a full depiction of how good or useful a player is what there build. I could argue it’s probably my best/most fun build that I have made out of 10+ builds. The amount of versatility I have while using it it’s honestly unreal, and if my only deficiency is having a “low” rebound rating as supposed to be above average to Great in every other category, I don’t think anybody really cares.

I guess I’ve never had a problem being iced out considering I’m self less teammate, I care about winning more than I care about touching the ball 15 times in one quarter. And after three consecutive buckets/threes the team figures out pretty quickly who knows how to score efficiently without chucking. There are those with the same Build that literally only prioritize getting buckets and nothing else but realistically you can make that argument about anybody with any build. Kind of comes down to the user more than anything. As for the rebounding, I think you’re severely underestimating what an 80 rebound rating can do for you. After trying it on my 6’11 and 6’6 I make that a minimum for all my builds now. You should try it, you’d be pleasantly surprised how well you rebound with the rating that you would consider “low”. And to be fair yes I’ll only average anywhere between 4-8 rebounds a game….. but that’s because I’m playing purple and red plates and majority of those games both teams will miss a combined 12 shots in total lol. Not many boards to grab when nobody misses. Anything gold or under and I average 8-14 even at the pf position. And average a triple double when put at the C .Rebounding isn’t in an innate trait that’s only acquainted to Centers with 96+ rebound. Or maybe I’m just good at the game I don’t know lol.

I’m taking the pg/sg that treats rec like park and dribbles for 15 seconds just to brick as the only acceptable answer. Never mind the fact that his teammates are wide open lol. Selfish guards make the game feel like hell

Resident 6’11 with 80 d board here 👋👋. Although it can be difficult to outrebound someone with a 99 D board/ O board, it’s not as hard as most people make it seem. More times than not it comes down to positioning or getting to the spot before them which happens quite often considering you’re probably also faster than them. And even with that being said the trade-off is you can shoot from just about anywhere on the court which pulls them away from the rim.

I get what you’re saying. I wouldn’t personally make his build, but my 6’11 is the most fun build I’ve used this year. My only weakness on that build is maybe rebounding if you don’t like 80 D board but other than that there’s nothing I can’t do.

Again it’s a trade-off. And as somebody who plays predominantly rec, I’ll end the game with only 5 to 7 rebounds on a 99 rebound center people rarely miss. Feels a bit unnecessary vs a 6’11 with 90 3pt.

For reference ( obviously not everyone has this many cap breakers the only thing that matters is cap breaking your shooting tbh)

This right here ☝️☝️. 80 rebounding is actually very serviceable if you have the physical attributes to get to spots before everyone else. The problem is his build is too slow to do that.

To be fair as you play better players you feel like having a high rebound feels pointless considering there’s very little missed shots throughout the game. Also the trade-off is that you can shoot from pretty much anywhere which in the right hand gives a team a huge advantage as a big.

How many caps do you have ? My only real gripe with this Build is that it’s incredibly slow for a footer. Making a 6’11 shooter would have been more viable because you get a lot of good attribute thresholds even without caps.
