Thought Id give this a shot but judging by the archetypes what player EXACTLY follows the mold of the archetypes?
Make it simpler the boosts from the vitals such as wingspan and weight are a difference but not THAT major.
So here it goes what player exactly fits the archetype?
Playmaker PG - Deron Williams (early Nets)
I didnt go with chris paul, conley, teague etc because they have better defense and get more steals than the ratings provided. The default open shot three rating for this build is in the mid 70s. Deron wasn't the most athletic guy, or a completely elite scorer consistently. Deron does provide elite passing and snapped peoples ankles consistently I'd say this is more of Deron when he first arrived in Brooklyn.
Lockdown Defender SG - Tony Allen
This one is obvious an elite defender that cannot shoot.
Stretch Big PF - Mirza Teletovic
One of the most underrated shooters in the league. Excelled in the pick n' pop game last season in Phoenix. Stretch Big build in this game has below average rebounding and athleticism. Mirza is perfect description for this position.
Sharpshooter - Danny Green(Not from Last Season but the 2014 Finals)
I gave him the nod over Korver/Redick because he plays better defense than him. The defense cap here is 14 or 15? Which is very slightly above average. I personally think Danny Green is overrated as a defender. He is more of a good defender because of Pop's scheme and his lanky arms are effective. He isn't the most athletic guy. is Can hit any wide open shot. Great at knocking down shots off screens or off a catch n' shoot. But can't finish at the rim that well or shoot of the dribble.
Lockdown Defender C - Dikembe Mutombo(Maybe Theo Ratliff lol)
Tough one here. Dikembe wasn't as agile as Big Ben but its arguable that he was a better shotblocker than him. If it was possible to recreate Ben Wallace as a build his rebounding should be maxed out. Both known for defense and not the greatest offensive players.
Glass Cleaner C - Andre Drummond
I think Drummond is more dominants a rebounder than a defender. Good at finishing at the rim and very athletic. Very Strong but not that agile
Post Scorer - C Al Jefferson/PF Elton Brand(Clippers)
Both were great with their back to the basket. Were above average in rebounding and defense. Mid Range goes down here and there.
Its late over here. But thought this thread would be interesting to discuss. I will update later with responses from you guys on what I deem fits.(If I disagree, Ill definitely explain why.)
Stay on Topic.
Stay away from barking at each other like "why one build is better blah blah" or "I'm going to destroy your build in ProAm/Park". Its easy to get off-topic when talking about this.
Prevent responses such as, "Steph Curry is a Sharpshooter PG" Curry has elite handles and can shoot off the dribble. Superstars shouldn't be mentioned here.
2k hating. Hating that 2k should of improved this build or they need to patch x build.
Also I think this will be easier to explain/give advice to players unfamiliar with MyCareer and creating a player. Remember guys try to be exact! 25 capped usually means 94 rating in a category. If 2k uses the hall of fame scale(Historic Players are welcomed!) as guideline to ratings that means they are the best of the best!
