Player Creation: Height - 6'6, Weight - 220 Pounds, Wingspan - Max

This 6'6 defensive beast is a build that is rarely seen on the online servers, even though when used correctly it is one of the most frustrating archetypes to come up against in the park.

The defensive stats are obviously going to be incredible, this player can reach a max 99 steal along with a 92 shot contest and 89 block, but what sets it a class above other defender builds is the offensive stats and badges you can get.

With the long wingspan, you'll be able to get your contested mid-range and three-point shot above 70.

This is fairly good considering it is a defensive build and will allow you to be a threat on offence and not just a passenger waiting to lockdown your opposition on the other end.

A key badge for this build is the silver corner specialist, once this badge is achieved you'll be able to knock down your fair share of threes no matter what your rating is, no doubt a great badge to have on your side.

The athleticism of this build is incredibly good, a 98 lateral quickness will allow you to keep up with the fastest of guards and forwards with ease and if you come across a deadly sharpshooter will be able to close the distance a contest a shot no matter where it is on the court.
