NBA 2K23 Paint Beast Build Guide

In this guide, we'll be walking you through the defensive center that we like to call a Paint Beast and ideal build for it in NBA 2K23.

Paint is an important part of the court, and it’s mostly shaded differently than the rest of the field. It is one of the areas that is the most sensitive to violations and needs to be played attentively. That is where a good “Paint Beast” playstyle player with the perfect build in NBA 2K23 comes in.

When played well in the paint area, a team can get the most chances to get successful shots and high scores. The team mostly relies on this position because it can control the game’s momentum and flip the tables when least expected. Therefore, how seriously you take this role and formulate a player is on you, especially for it.
