NBA 2K22 Best Current Gen builds

Players on current gen have to play by a different set of rules than the next gen players due to their unique MyPLAYER Builder - one still fitting color pies. However, that doesn't mean that they can't make build an incredible MyPLAYER all the same.

From the guard position to the center, these are some of the great builds out there for current gen players in NBA 2K22!

Sharpshooting Facilitator

This is an incredible shooting guard build, but can also work as a point guard build with some maneuvering. It's a score-first build, meaning you'll have to be efficient with the shot meter and take (or create) the right shots to make an impact.

If you can shoot and find ways to get open you'll be an incredible spot-up shooter. In the right hands, you'll be a nightmare to defend in NBA 2K22, and can easily take over as the top scorer in any setting.

Glass Cleaning Finisher

Perhaps you aren't looking to be a current gen sharp-shooter and want to focus your attention inside. The Power Forward builds on current gen are fantastic and one of the best positions to play.

With this build you get all the perks of being a big man, but with the ability to move like a guard. You'll have a frame that allows for mobility, but with the strength to rebound and finish down low
