5. Stretch 4 Power forward (The quintessential build for a PF)

If you still wanna play the 4 in 2K you need this build. With a game predicated on the outside, this build gets open looks and jumpers with ease, especially with his size.

This is the best build if you specifically want a power forward on the team. He will give you shooting, A light passing game, and is still passable on inside defense with his length. It’s a jack-of-all-trades build, however that also means if you purely wanna shoot, score inside, or defend, there are way better options to go for.

What Power Forward Excels In:

• Rebounds all the extra shots that your center won't get
• Gets left open really easily on the perimeter.
• Can still throw it down in transition
• Decent at every aspect of the game
• Undderated defense with the length and size

Build details: 

• Outside scoring style
• 6’10 height 
• 250 lbs
• 7’3 wingspan
• Focus on adding attributes to shooting and defense

4. 2-Way Small Forward ( A do-it-all build)

This is the Only Small Forward build you should be using on NBA 2k16. A demon on both the offensive end and the defensive side too.

A Small Forward is built and meant to be the best all-around player. He has the defense, offense, ball handling, playmaking, and everything in between. Once again this is a build with no real weakness and some decent strengths, far from the best build in the game but it’s far from being non-viable.

What the 2 Way Small Forward Excels In:

• All Around Weapon from the perimeter, knockdown, and lights out when taking a jumper
• Locks up any 1 on 1 matchup
• Balanced at all aspects of the game.
• Out rebounds any guard matchup
• Keeps up with the guards' speed, but doesn't get bullied by big men with their strength

Build details: 

• Outside scoring style

3. Paint Beast Center 

Classic Big Man Build. A build that's been working since the early Mycareer days and since the 60s in the NBA, basketball just comes easy to big builds.

If you know and love the post-up game on 2K use this, and of course, this build is pretty grounded in the paint, so it's the build you use when you want high-percentage shots and defense focusing on inside blocks and contests.

What the Center Excels In:

• Dunks and Layup inside in the point
• Pick and roll game comes easy with lobs and feed inside
• No easy layups or dunks as long as he's in the play

• If you’re a smart enough player keeping up on the perimeter isn't impossible
