Triple-Double Threat
This is a 3-level scoring center that most 2K bigs simply can't guard. 91 Mid-Range and 89 Three-Point on a 7'2" frame means the moment a defender sinks into the paint, you punish them from 18 feet and beyond. You also have enough finishing to punish smaller defenders in the paint. High passing and solid defense combined with the height will make you tough to score on as well.
Rise & Dime Paint Protector
This is a traditional Center for 5s in NBA2K27. It has strong standing dunks. decent driving, but can get to 85 with caps down the road. It can pop if you are skilled with shooting. Gold Break starter for good breaks. And the defense/rebounding is elite. Physicals are about perfect for a 7'1 as well. You should get plenty of triple doubles with this build, and its a strong contender for 5x5s.
