Top 5 NBA 2K23 Best Builds for All Positions 

Below is the list of NBA 2K23 best builds for every position by Nell Nell, with breakdown of body settings, attributes, takeovers and badges. 

NBA 2K23 Best Point Guard Build

If you want to have somebody who can facilitate, shoot, finish and play a little defense, this 2K23 PG build is the best option. For the attributes, the driving dunk is going to be 84 so that makes up for who does layups, you're either dunking out or hitting a three, that's more than enough to be able to score inside, your point guard is not really going scoring shot, but you can. Guards usually shoot threes, at 85 mid-range, you are still going to shoot your all, you put difficult shots on, you’ll still be at a score of mid-range, and 85 is good enough. 87 ball handle, you are going to get a dribble, you are going to have all the animations. 57 block is manageable for a point guard, if you are on current gen, you are gonna have Chase Down Artist and Intimidator. You want to have 88 speed, 89 acceleration, and 75 vertical, and put the rest on stamina. The takeovers for this build are Limitless Range, but it depends on who you are playing against or your role in the team, so you can always change them to whatever you like.
