The center position isn't the most popular one in NBA 2K25, as most players prefer to build a point guard, power forward, or small forward when it comes to their MyPLAYER.
However, just like in real life, centers are very important in NBA 2K25, as they do the dirty work, chasing down rebounds, blocking shots, being rim protectors, and setting screens.
Without further ado, let's take a look at the best center build in NBA 2K25.
Best Center Build in NBA 2K25
As mentioned above, centers are the unsung heroes of NBA 2K25, as they do all the dirty work on the court.
Centers normally don't get as many touches on the ball as other positions, but they still need to be able to affect the game on offense. Rebounding is the main way to do that, as it creates second-chance points for the team. But centers also need to set good screens and know when to roll to the basket for easy points.
Defense is where centers really need to shine, blocking shots, making it almost impossible for players to finish at the rim, and securing rebounds. Centers will normally struggle on the perimeter, but sometimes they need to take the hard task of guarding a point guard, which normally doesn't end well.
This center build allows players to be defensive anchors, knockdown down shots with ease, and be rebound machines. Not only can players do all the dirty work at a spectacular level, but they can also impact the game in areas like scoring, and even playmaking, in a significant way.
