Point Forwards are a hybrid between Forwards and Point Guards and play an important role as a playmaker. They are excellent 3-point scorers and can create openings for their teammates. Point forwards can be excellent defense players with proper investment of points in their attributes. With the Small Forward as our starter, we will be creating a 2-Way 3PT Point Forward build in NBA 2K24 that serves all the purposes we have mentioned above.
In this build, our primary focus is on creating a point-forward archetype. For this purpose, we will have a 6’8” starter character with middleweight and a large wingspan. From there, we will assign proper badges and attributes to create an unstoppable 3pt scorer who can play both offensively and defensively.

How to set up 2-Way 3PT Point Forward build
Point forwards control two positions and sacrifice their offensive abilities in favor of playmaking and defense. With 2-way 3pt archetype applied, our point forward will be available to utilize both abilities to their fullest while being able to score too.
For offense, we have 80 points in Driving dunk and 78 points in three-point shot. This improves our ability to score near post with stylish dunks and use the area outside the paint to score 3-pointers.
For playmaking, we have 87 points in pass accuracy and 85 points in Ball handle. This unlocks special playmaking badges that allows our 2-way 3pt point forward build in NBA 2K24 to create openings for its teammates and move the ball around the court.
For defense, we will be putting 93 points in Parameter defense and 91 points in Steal. This will unlock special defensive badges that allows us to break the ankles of attackers and stop them from reaching our paint area of the court.
For the physical aspect of our Point Forward build in NBA 2K24, we have 99 points in Stamina. This allows us to reserve energy while going against strong defenders.
