NBA 2K24 Best 3-Level Threat Build For Center

A center player with a 3-level threat archetype is one of the most dangerous on the court in NBA 2K24. In this guide, we will create the best build for a center position that will turn in an unstoppable scoring machine.

The Center position holds a pivotal and formidable role in NBA 2K24. Center players typically possess imposing size and height, and they contribute significantly on both offense and defense. Their responsibilities encompass scoring in the paint, securing primary rebounds, and defending the rim. When you combine this position with the 3-level or triple-threat archetype, the Center transforms into an unstoppable force, excelling in scoring and playmaking in NBA 2K24.

For our 3-Level Threat build, we’ve chosen to place it in the Center position, rather than a 3-Level Threat Small Forward. This build stands tall at 7’1″, boasting an extensive wingspan and equipped with badges that enhance passing and scoring proficiency for both 2-pointers and 3-pointers in the game.

How to set up 3-Level threat for Center

Centers are the powerhouse of any NBA team. They not only excel in passing and defending the rim but are also capable of scoring with precision from both 2 and 3-point range. Thanks to the 3-level threat archetype, our Center build in NBA 2K24 possesses exceptional dribbling skills and can execute dunks with finesse in post-play situations.

For offensive prowess, we’ve allocated 80 points to Driving Dunk, 85 points to Post Control, 86 points to Mid-Range Shot, and 79 points to Three-Point Shot. These attributes enable our 3-level threat build to execute deceptive passes and sink shots from a distance, or to astutely maneuver around defenders for stylish dunks that contribute valuable points.

Playmaking, while not the primary focus of our build, includes 77 points in Pass Accuracy. This complements the Center position’s responsibilities.

To excel in defense and thwart opposing attackers at the rim, we’ve allocated 92 points each to Block and Defensive Rebounds. This not only enhances the core aspects of our 3-Level Threat Center build in NBA 2K24 but also unlocks critical defensive and rebounding Hall of Fame badges.

Centers need to possess strength and endurance to endure the rigors of intense gameplay. To meet this demand, we’ve allocated 84 points to Strength and a remarkable 97 points to Stamina. These attributes ensure that our Center build remains robust and energetic throughout the game.
