Player Creation: Height - 6'9, Weight - 220 Pounds, Wingspan - Max

Similar to the 2018/19 MVP candidate, Giannis Antetokounmpo, the Slashing Defender is incredibly overpowered and difficult to negate on either end of the floor in 2K19.

The perfect defensive archetype will make it seem impossible for your opposition to find a way past you or even dribble near you without getting the ball stolen.

This archetype can guard positions one through five as it has the speed at 81 to keep up with basically all guards and the height, wingspan and strength to get rebounds and hold its own in the post against centres.

The 99 steal and a HOF Pick Pocket badge make this build without a doubt the most annoying build to face, players won't be able to dribble near you without getting a turnover and a fast break against them.

The silver One Man Fast Break, along with the athletic dunk packages and gold Posterizer make this build a dominant force on offence as well and one few people will be able to stop.

Silver Hustler Rebounder will mean you can run this build as your big and not be exposed by taller centres, and mixed with the Putback King badge allows for some nice dunks over slow centres that can position themselves in time for the defensive rebound.
