Here are our favorite (and most effective) Small Forward builds in NBA 2K22.
Facilitating 3-Level 2-Way
One of the best ways to make a dominant MyPLAYER in NBA 2K22 is by having them be solid all around the court. You can do that with the Facilitating 3-Level 2-Way build.
Shooting from outside is no sweat and you'll have shades of the older Lebron James with this one in the rest of your skillset.
Getting started with this build is a little unique, but it should be no sweat with this guide:
- Height: 6'9" to 6'10"
- Weight: 225LBS
- Wingspan: 84.0"
- Build: Facilitating 3-Level 2-Way
- Primary Takeover: Spot Up Precision
- Secondary Takeover: Negative Impact
2-Way 3PT Shot Creator
Perhaps you aren't looking for someone to manage the court, maybe you'd rather have a good defender that can knock down shots from beyond the arc at a steady clip.
This type of build is reminiscent of Peja Stojakovic who was one of the best Small Forwards in NBA history from the 3PT line. He was also an incredible defender, which is important in NBA 2K22, especially at the perimeter.
Here's how you can get started on this incredible build:
- Height: 6'6"
- Weight: 180LBS
- Wingspan: 85.0"
- Build: 2-Way 3PT Shot Creator
- Primary Takeover: Limitless Range
- Secondary Takeover: Enhanced Jumpshot Contests
Point Forward
This is a really rare build that not a lot of players have capitalized on when making their MyPLAYER this year. This is close to the 3-Level Scorer build, but with way better defense.
You'll be able to score from beyond the arc, inside, and mid-range, all while not surrendering defense and playmaking capabilities. Kawhi Leonard is the best example of this particular build.
This is a consistent shooting build, with reliable defense and handles that can contend with smaller guards at the perimeter. To be most effective, be sure to get familiar with the shooting mechanics in NBA 2K22 though.
Here's how to get started with this build:
- Height: 6'6"
- Weight: 175LBS (For Speed)
- Wingspan: 86.0"
- Build: Point Forward
- Takeover: Lockdown Defender
