NBA 2K22 has been out for about two weeks, and similar to our Next Gen big man build, it seems as though outside-shooting bigs are definitely the way to go in Current Gen as well.
With shades of Jaren Jackson Jr., Kenyon Martin and John Collins said to be recognized in this build, it’s one that is sure to be well worth the investment in both VC and in-game time to grind out. For those looking for a do-it-all archetype that will be able to get the job done in both 3v3 and 5v5 games, here is how to make the best big man build in NBA 2K22 Current Gen.
Nah it’s actually crazy that you have to spend all together 400K VC to upgrade one player from 60-99 in Next Gen #NBA2K22

Overall, this build is one that has no glaring weaknesses that could come back to haunt you other than its height.
At 6’8″, that is personally lower than what I’m comfortable with considering a five in real life, but it appears that’s just the meta this year in NBA 2K22 Current Gen.
Ultimately though, this height does provide a great balance in allowing players to accomplish what they need to do to fill in the game’s “meta role” for bigs in NBA 2K22 on Current Gen— protect the rim, set screens, get the boards and knockdown threes. This Height also just makes it into the threshold that allows the build to be able to equip all of the jump shot animations in the game.
