How to set up a Stephen Curry build for Point Guard
Point Guards are responsible for setting up scoring opportunities for their team in NBA 2K24. They play an important role in making sure team offense stays top of the line by making sure the ball gets to the right player, past the defense. In this build, we are mainly going for an emphasis on range and ball handling, to make sure our control of the ball is top-tier.
We are going to put 81 points in Mid-Range Shot, 96 points in Three-point Shot, and 92 points in Free Throw. This allocation helps unlock some very great badges such as limitless range to increase the scope of your passes and allow you to set up a lethal pass.
As we are playing Point Guard, your core task is to make sure that we can get the ball to the offense no matter how many on defense try to snatch the ball from you. To that end, we have 89 points in Pass Accuracy, 95 points in Ball Handle, and 92 points in Speed with Ball.
This stat distribution unlocks some skills such as Speed Booster (Gold) to break past opposing defenders and Bail-Out (Bronze) and Dimer (Gold), to improve your ball passing capabilities.
For the physical section, 87 points go into Speed, 93 points into Acceleration and 99 points into Stamina. This improves our dribble speeds and quality, as well as leveling up the Blow-By (Gold) and Speed Booster (Hall of Fame) badges and unlocking the Handles For Days (Hall of Fame) badge, to be more efficient with energy usage.
Best Badges for NBA 2K24 Steph Curry build
Badge prioritization is crucial in building the best version of the character you envisioned. The badges selected here were necessary to elevate the passing and ball-handling capabilities of this Stephen Curry build in NBA 2K24. The points you invest in different attributes will determine the skill you unlock as well as the level, so a great deal of thought was given to unlocking Hall of Fame variants (Highest Level) for the critical skills.
S-Tier badges
- Handles For Days (Hall of Fame): Since you lack in defense and strength, this badge reduces your energy depletion, leaving spare stamina for fancier dribbles to avoid having to directly contest stronger defenders head on and get around them instead.
- Giant Slayer (Gold): You gain considerable advantage in making layups over defenders taller than your character (in this case 6’3”).
- Slithery (Bronze): Makes it harder for enemy defenders to pin down the player, thus improving your control over the ball and making it easier to break through defense, ending straight into a finish at the basket.
- Blow-By (Gold): Allows the player to juke their defender more easily and breach the opposing team’s paint.
- Speed Booster (Hall of Fame): Allows for a short speed burst when trying to break away from a defender straight to the paint, or in specific situations when trying to reclaim the ball from the opposing team.
- Hyperdrive (Gold): Reduces the time it takes to complete a dribbling animation while moving, allowing you to safely navigate the court.
- Killer Combos (Gold): While mixing up your opponents, their defensive ability can be compromised in several ways, making it easier to get the ball through. Also grants an evasive bonus when combining multiple dribbling techniques, further boosting your success in breaking past defenders.
- Unpluckable (Gold): Boosts your overall ball control, making it harder for defenders to get it out of your possession with some stray blocks, steal attempts etc.
- Blinders (Gold): Decreases the penalty on jump shots when a defender contests on time.
- Limitless Range (Gold): Increases the range of your 3-point shots for a higher frequency of sniper basket scores.
- Deadeye (Gold): Jump shots suffer a lower accuracy penalty due to late contests by defenders.
- Agent 3 (Gold): Strengthens your pull-up shot game, making it easier to score from the three-point range, bolstering your risk factor as you become a deadly adversary on both close and long range.
- Bail Out (Bronze): When jumping, your pass has increased accuracy and more of a chance at reaching the specific offense member.
