1. Rebounding Stretch Five

This build is without a doubt that defensive build that you must avoid this year in NBA 2K. In previous years it would be the perfect combination to being able to score from anywhere on the court along with the ability to grab boards and play good defense.

You will not be able to unlock any of the dunk packages with this build this year and will not be fast enough or strong enough to beat so many other builds on either end of the floor.

The biggest problem with this build is that not only does it offer zero Hall of Fame badges, but if you decide to pick a Rebounding Stretch Five, you will be limited to only two gold badges as well. These two gold badges will not even be relevant if you are trying to win playground games as one is Free Throw Ace, where there are no free throws in the playground, and the other is Pick and Popper which is rarely used by any player.
While the stats may seem decent on this build, the lack of badges hinders its ability massively and will be caught out by most capable centers in the game.
