The Small Forward is a balanced position that can be considered more of an “all-rounder” in NBA. They’re shorter than Power Forward but that doesn’t mean they are incapable. A Small Forward’s height and speed are their main strengths and they are mostly relied on for scoring, and defense, and are usually the secondary or tertiary rebounds. For that reason, NBA 2K24 Small Forward builds heavily rely on shooting, ball handling, and some defense attributes.
Given the 5 playable positions and over 100 archetype positions in NBA 2K24, creating the best Small Forward builds can be quite challenging and time-consuming. Lucky for you, we have done the theory and build crafting part so all you have to do is follow our recommended NBA 2K24 SF builds and you will be golden.

Modeled after Kevin Durant, our 3-Level threat SF build is exceptional if you want a Small Forward build with great ball handling and midrange shots.

Best Badges for Small Forward (SF) builds in NBA 2K24
Badges are an important part of any builds in NBA 2K24 as they affect and enhance the attributes of the builds. Hence we bring you the best possible badges to use for your Small Forward builds in 2K24. We will also provide brief explanations for the badges.
Limitless Range
Limitless Range is the most important badge for an SF build which is tilted more towards assist. This allows an SF build to maintain distance and shoot on a longer range whilst quickly returning back to their main position. It basically improves the range from which a player can shoot.
Clamps
As a small forward, having a strong obstruction for the enemy is important. Clamps defensive badge provides you with an improved Perimeter defense and Strength at the same, keeping the much-needed balance for a perfect Small Forward Build.
Bunny
For Small Forwards, the Bunny badge is needed when going offensive against the enemy team as they use hop steps when going for a layup or a dunk.
Glove
For a more defensive side, the Small Forward builds can quickly steal from enemy ball handling builds. As SFs are supposed to be versatile, it is a good way to defend and quickly switch over to an offense and turn the tables.
