This is a versatile center build with the ability to play multiple roles on any given team. It excels on both ends of the floor offensively and defensively and is highly effective in fast-paced park competition.

Here we will show you exactly how to create one of the best 2-Way, 3-Level Scorer Center builds in the game.

Here is a quick look at the key points of the 2-Way, 3-Level Scorer Center build.

Key points of the build

• Position: Center
• Height, Weight, Wingspan: 6’10’’, 249lbs, 7’6’’
• Takeover: Limitless Range, Paint Intimidation
• Best Attributes: Defensive Rebounding (99), Block (97), Interior Defense (95)

What you’ll get from the 2-Way, 3-Level Scorer Center build

Overall, this is a versatile big man build that can be used as a team’s primary center or power forward. With the ability to protect the rim at an elite level and the attributes to score at all three levels offensively, it is arguably one of the more unique centers builds in the game.

In terms of playstyle, it is best suited for those who want to dominate the boards on both ends of the floor, while maintaining the ability to chip in offensively in multiple ways. This build has above-average speed, making it a perfect fit for teams that want to push the tempo and run in transition.

In terms of weaknesses, this build isn’t made to be a playmaker and shouldn’t be used as the team’s primary ball-handler. However, this shouldn’t be a huge problem as very few teams in 2K use their center in that way.

Free throw shooting isn’t a strong suit either, so you shouldn’t rely on this build to get you too many buckets at the free-throw line.

Your 2-Way, 3-Level Scorer Center build

The 2-way, 3-Level Scorer center is a versatile build with the ability to make an impact on both ends of the floor.

Offensively, it has the skillset to be a spot-up shooter, dominant scorer in the paint, or a reliable pick-and-pop option in the mid-range game.

Defensively, it does not have one glaring weakness and should be able to consistently lock down most centers, power-forwards, and small forwards they face.

To make the most of this build, it’s best to use it in the park competition, especially in 3v3 games. Most winning teams need a versatile center with the ability to secure rebounds, run the floor, defend the paint, and the skillset to score in more than one way.
