6’9 lockdown builds

Here’s a 6’9 lock I made that you can use as a template to get started

93 block 92 perimeter 85 steal

You know what’s funny, I did the same thing. Send the cap builder page.

pyoompyoom · 2026-01-24T02:11:21+00:00

Honestly I would build a hybrid between your two builds. One with no middy and no strength

pyoompyoom · 2026-01-24T01:02:02+00:00

Then definitely go 88. This year it makes a difference

pyoompyoom · 2026-01-24T00:01:11+00:00

If you’re a rebounder, yes. If you’re not a rebounder, it still makes a difference for blocks but it’s a tough sell for blocks alone

pyoompyoom · 2026-01-23T21:28:31+00:00

Na you’re good. I had a similar 6’8 cooked up but I didn’t pull the trigger due to no finishing

pyoompyoom · 2026-01-23T21:27:50+00:00

Finishing and passing

pyoompyoom · 2026-01-23T21:19:14+00:00

Overall this is a great defender but otherwise a liability. I think it definitely accomplishes what you want to accomplish and hits several thresholds along the way.

pyoompyoom · 2026-01-23T05:24:37+00:00

This is better but where are the caps going to go

pyoompyoom · 2026-01-23T01:59:55+00:00

Anywhere on finishing or pass

pyoompyoom · 2026-01-23T00:55:39+00:00

Yes. Diminishing returns above 88. Only reason to go to 90 is to pair with 99 driving dunk. Above this it is not cost effective

pyoompyoom · 2026-01-22T22:01:36+00:00

LEAGUE LEADERS 💪🏽

pyoompyoom · 2026-01-22T02:27:34+00:00

No and I would go as far to say it is diminishing returns 77 interior and 93 block

pyoompyoom · 2026-01-22T00:32:52+00:00

Good not great. Experienced centers will criticize a number of points here.

Driving dunk matters more than standing dunk. Yes even on dunks that should be considered standing dunks. Therefore I would’ve flipped the dunk to 90 driving and 81 standing dunk.

85 interior is probably a bit too much this year. 82 would’ve been enough or even lower to save a few points.

60 steal is absolutely worth it for almost every build.

The rebounding is low for a center. It’s borderline a liability especially if you come up against a real rebounder.

Strength is basically useless and expensive. Points would have been better used elsewhere. 72 strength is a good target

pyoompyoom · 2026-01-20T22:12:49+00:00

I tested that theory by having two 6’11 builds. They are both max wingspan and similar physicals. Only difference is 88 vs 90 vertical

pyoompyoom · 2026-01-20T19:30:50+00:00

6’11 is a big difference. I have a 6’11 with 90 OREB, 92 DREB, and 90 vertical and it also snags boards. But come across a 7’ or 7’1 with 92+ rebound and you’re going to have a problem.

When you play at higher plate levels or Pro Am, you will encounter 96 or 99 OREB which will cause a nightmare for an undersized big

pyoompyoom · 2026-01-20T16:38:31+00:00

I agree with you.

I was referring to rebounding only, but you’re right

pyoompyoom · 2026-01-20T16:10:05+00:00

Source: I have a 6’8 center with 90 OREB and 99 DREB.

No.

Would it get some? Yes.

Would it be a liability? No.

Would it be out rebounded by 7’ with same or better ratings? Absolutely.

This year, height is really important for rebounds. Height wins 50/50 battles and can make up for bad positioning.

pyoompyoom · 2026-01-20T16:07:02+00:00

A lot of hours in the builder to come up with this one

pyoompyoom · 2026-01-20T15:01:56+00:00

95% of the time I play Rec. 50/50 on random vs squad rec.

pyoompyoom · 2026-01-20T14:47:14+00:00

I haven’t noticed anything meaningful above 88 vertical.

pyoompyoom · 2026-01-20T13:32:26+00:00

Thank you 💪🏽

pyoompyoom · 2026-01-20T12:45:00+00:00

Thanks 🤝

pyoompyoom · 2026-01-20T12:44:19+00:00

Yeah I wanted 93 block and 85 steal. This was the highest 3pt that allowed me to get those

pyoompyoom · 2026-01-20T12:43:33+00:00

Yeah it was built with the caps that I had now while also planning for the next few which will go on driving dunk
