Build Breakdown

**The build does not unlock the highest tier dribble moves until you are a 97 overall** You can go down to 6'4 and slightly lower wingspan to get them right away but you will lose your lockdown takeover and unique build name. This is very similar to the playmaking shot creator but has great defense at the sacrifice for a little offense. This is a great build that is very versatile. You do not have to be hidden on defense. Prefers an outside big but can play with either. The build was created by Lamonsta
