NBA 2K20 Dynasty mode allows you to customize your experience in the latest franchise of the game. There are a lot of different builds and paths you can follow, whichever suits you the best.

We've already covered the best point guard archetypes, and the best shooting guard builds and now it's time to take a look at small forward which is one of the most important positions in the game.

Players like Kawhi Leonard and LeBron James have insane attributes and it isn't hard to see why people choose to rock the position themselves in order to dominate in MyCareer.

Build Creation: Skill Breakdown - Shooter, Physical Profile - #1, Agility

Player Creation: Height - 6'8", Weight - 201 Pounds, Wingspan - 80.0 inches

Takeover: Spot-Up Shooter

Setting Your Potential:

This build is for those who wish to be an elite scorer at the small forward position. It will give you great shooting stats with enough ball handling and speed to also be able to get past defenders and dunk it in at the hoop.

To create this build you will need to max out all four of the shooting stats; Midrange, 3pt shot, free throw, and post-fade. This will give you a maximum of 30 shooting badge upgrades, making your player virtually unguardable.

For Finisher, you will need to upgrade everything, giving you 10 badges in this category, while for Playmaking, you will need to max out all three stats, giving you 14 badge upgrades.

In the Defence/Rebounding category, all you need to do is spend the rest of your cap points on Perimeter Defence, Lateral Quickness and Block.

Badges:

This build allows you to get 55 potential upgrades. With these upgrades, you will be able to get 6 HOF badges - all in shooting - along with 9 Golds, 1 Silver, and 2 Bronzes.

HOF - Corner Specialist, Deadeye, Difficult Shots, Tireless Shooter, Volume Shooter, Range Extender

Gold - Acrobat, Contact Finisher, Pro Touch, Quick Draw, Catch n Shoot, Handles for Days, Ankle Breakers, Space Creator, Unpluckable

Build Creation: Skill Breakdown - #1, Finishing, Physical Profile - #4, Vertical/Agility

Player Creation: Height - 6'8", Weight - 180 Pounds, Wingspan - 88.5 inches

Takeover: Slasher

Setting Your Potential:

This build is based around speed, strength and verticality, the ability to blow by a defender and rise up above the rim and slam it down similar to Vince Carter or Julius Erving.

In this build you want to max out all the playmaking stats, enabling you to have some good moves to get past defenders (90-rated post moves and 73-rated ball-handling). The next key aspect to this build is finishing - maxing out every stat except for the post hook allows you to dunk on anybody who gets in your way.

The rest of your attributes should go towards maxing Mid Range, Free Throw, Perimeter Defence, Steal, Block, Lateral Quickness and Defensive Rebounding.

Badges:

The 51 badge upgrades that this build allows is more than enough to dominate in MyCareer or in the park. Although there are no HOF badges, the 13 golds, 5 silvers, and 2 bronzes allow you to have a wide range of skills while being elite in what is most important - putting the ball in the ring in flashy fashion. The badges are as follows:

GOLD - Acrobat, Consistent Finisher, Contact Finisher, Fancy Footwork, Fast-break Finisher, Relentless, Pick 'n Roller, Ankle Breaker, Downhill, Tight Handles, Space Creator, Quick First Step, Handles For Days

SILVER - Lob City Finisher, Showtime, Slithery, Chase Down Artist, Clamps

BRONZE - Slippery Off Ball, Post Spin Technician

#1 Two-Way Pass-First Wing

Build Creation: Skill Breakdown - #9, Playmaking/Defending, Physical Profile - #1, Agility

Player Creation: Height - 6'8", Weight - 180 Pounds, Wingspan - 88.5 inches

Takeover: Slasher

Setting Your Potential:

This build is without a doubt the best all-round small forward build you can create. Maxing out the driving layup and dunk allows you to, later on, choose the slashing takeover, making you a beast in the paint.

This, along with maxing out all defensive stats except for two on offensive rebounding, will enable you to max out 3pt, mid-range and free throw, which in turn allows you to get 6 shooting badge upgrades, which is vital later on.

To top off the build, you will need to max out ball handling and pass accuracy, allowing you to play all five positions if necessary.

Badges:

42 badges that unlock for this build are about average, but you still get 7 HOF badges, 3 Golds, 2 silvers and 1 bronze.

HOF - Downhill, Stop and Go, Quick First Step, Clamps, Intimidator, Pick Pocket, Rim Protector

Gold - Catch n Shoot, Corner Specialist, Tireless Defender

Silver - Unpluckable, Interceptor

Bronze - Contact Finisher
