Gameplay Tips

When you step onto the court with this build you’re channeling Jaden McDaniels—rock-solid on defense, effortless on offense; you’re a nightmare. You make things difficult for your opponent, no matter where they are on the floor. Your long arms come in handy to block shots, snatch the ball and clog up passing routes.

When you’re on offense, keep things flowing. Attack the basket, and if defenders back off, take the shot without delay. You’ve got the skills so use them… Don’t forget you can pass too; when the defense crowds you, look for an open teammate. You’re a threat in fast breaks. Move the ball, finish with power, or shoot if they give you room.

For rebounds, stay busy. Jump for boards at both ends, and if you spot a chance for a tip-in or to grab a rebound, go for it. This style of play focuses on flexibility—use your smarts, choose your moments, and control both offense and defense.
