Skills/Physical

Skill Breakdown: Select the chart weighted for Defense / Rebounding and Finishing.

Physical Profile: Select the chart where Agility, Strength, and Vertical are equally balanced, so you can maintain your agility and vertical, while still boosting your strength.

Best Center Build

Finishing: Max Everything

For Finishing, max out everything. This includes Close Shot, Driving Layup, Driving Dunk, Standing Dunk, and Post Hook.

Shooting: Post Fade (Max)

For Shooting, max out Post Fade. For Playmaking, max out Post Moves. A shooting-slanted center can max out at 87 midranges, 84 three-point, and 95 post-fade, so it could be a nightmare to cover all over the court.

Playmaking: Ball Handle (43) | Post Moves (Max)

When setting your Potential, be sure to max out your Mid-Range, Three-Pointer, Free Throw, Post Fade, as well as all Playmaking moves. For the Post Fade, you can save some stats by moving it down one point below the max.

Defense / Rebounding: Interior Defense (86) | Lateral Defense (Max) | Block (82) | Offensive Rebound (Max) | Defensive Rebound (Max)

For Defense, max out Lateral Quickness and Offensive and Defensive Rebound. Get Interior Defense to a very high number, without maxing it out. So, around 86. Do the same with block, get it to 82. Use your last 10 points on Ball Handle. And the 76 defensive reboundings and 75 blocks are still adequate down low on defense.

Height 7'1"
As a center, you want your build to be very tall. 7'1" seems to be the best choice.

Weight 254 lbs
As our intention is to make our build a tank. Having him be heavy is a must.

Wingspan95.2"
Making your wingspan this large will make your block incredibly high, which is what we want.

Takeover
Our recommended Takeover is Post Score.

Badges

Defense / Rebounding: Box (HOF) | Brick Wall (HOF) | Intimidator (HOF) | Rebound Chaser (HOF) | Rim Protector (HOF) | Post Move Lockdown (Silver)

Finally, get Intimidator and Rim Protector — These are the cherry on top. They’ll make your defense almost impenetrable. From Silver, get Post Move Lockdown which will make it much easier to defend against post moves.

Finishing: Backdown Punisher (HOF) | Contact Finisher (HOF) | Deep Hooks (HOF) | Dropstepper (HOF) | Lob City Finisher (HOF) | Pick & Roller (Silver)

From Hall of Fame, you need to get Backdown Punisher. This will boost the chance of you making your opponent back down. Once done, you need to get Dropstepper which will make your drop steps much more effective.

Also, get Contact Finisher which will help you with all types of contact around the net. Finally. Get Lob City Finisher and Deep Hooks — these will top off your finishing.
