Stretch Five- Centre:
This could be called the simplest build in our guide. Classified as one of the most used builds in this game you would be able to stretch the floor along with knocking down shots.

Just maximize every shooting attribute you got and get yourself an 84 and 87 3pt shot and mid-range attribute respectively. Maximize all the defensive stats as well which is make you a better player for both ends. If you have more upgrade points left pool them in for post hook, shot close and standing dunk.
