NBA 2K19: The Worst Builds You Must Avoid

2. Playmaking Sharpshooter

Isaiah Thomas

The playmaking sharpshooter was a very popular guard choice in previous installments of NBA 2K. In other years, you would be able to use multiple dribbling animations then burst past your defender and either step back from a jump shot or finish at the rim. This year, on the other hand, you probably won't have that much of a luxury to score with ease.

This build will still give you a decent combination of ball handling and shooting, but with no Hall of Fame badges, your ability to get past highly rated defenders will be extremely capped, especially as you will be a lot slower without the speed boost ability.

The biggest change from last year is the dribble animations that you can unlock with this build in 2K19. While last year you could achieve up to tier 4 dribble moves you will be a step down this year, massively limiting your offensive options, making many other builds preferable in NBA 2K19.
