Pure three-point shooters have always been at a disadvantage in the NBA 2K series. Because playmaking, shooting, finishing, defense, and athleticism were in different categories, long-range shooters often had to choose shooting and sacrifice everything else. Thankfully, NBA 2K24 fixes this issue.
The big change to builds in NBA 2K24 allows gamers to invest in several different categories that depend on size, wingspan, and weight, not some ethereal "categories" for abilities. As a result, the three-point shooter can not only shoot better this year but function capably in other facets of the game as well.

In prior editions, choosing between a spot-up shooter and a shooter off the dribble was tough. Now, with a 99 in Three-Point Shooting and a 93 in Acceleration, players can get Hall of Fame badges in every single three-point shooting badge. Even the best shooting guards in the game can't come close to this kind of output.
This is a point guard build instead of the usual shooting guard since the shorter stature and wingspan don't create mismatch problems on the defensive end. Speaking of defense, this is actually a very strong build despite the offensive focus. It had silver badges in Fast Feet, Clamps, and Pick Dodger to go with gold Challenger and Off-Ball Pest badges.
Find the best team for as a point guard and then watch as the three-pointers add up. With superior dribbling skills, expect to get a few ankle breakers in every game. Against defensive stalwarts, pass the ball and then call for a pick to get open, then call for the ball back and fire away. This is a build that negates opponent scoring while being the best scoring build possible.
NBA 2K24 is available now for Nintendo Switch, PC, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
