NBA 2K24 MyCareer: All build templates

There are two ways to create your MyPlayer in NBA 2K24: The first is by using the template of your favorite player or the one you want to resemble, while the second option is to start from scratch, just like in previous editions of the MyCAREER mode.

2K Games did not add any new templates with the launch of Season 6; however, that does not mean that they will not add them later as they have done before.

In terms of physical attributes, we recommend a height of 6’6″, a weight of 180 lbs, and a wingspan of 6’6″ for greater effectiveness on both perimeter offense and defense in every MyCareer match.

These are the best Badges for the Point Guard position:

Best Shooting Guard build in NBA 2K24

The key to becoming an impactful Shooting Guard in NBA 2K24 is to turn yourself into a perimeter machine, both on offense and defense. To achieve this, you should have the highest Shooting stats from beyond the arc as well as a high defensive rating.

As secondary attributes, you should also consider physical ones like Speed, Acceleration, Stamina, and Finishing skills such as Layups and Dunks ratings. Lastly, we highly recommend building your players with a height of 6’8″, a weight of 202 lbs, and a wingspan of 6’10”.

This way, you will be a headache for both the opposing defense and their attackers, as this build will allow you to dominate both ends of the court.
