NBA 2K19: Best Lockdown Defender Builds

#2 Slashing Rim Protector - Power Forward

This big man will be able to lock down the three to five positions and then hurt them going the other way when used efficiently

Player Creation: Height - 6'10, Weight - 270 Pounds, Wingspan - Max

A rim protector can be one of the most beneficial builds to involve in your squad at the park or Pro-AM courts.

This big man will be able to lock down the three to five positions and then hurt them going the other way when used efficiently.

This archetype will not have that great of a shot to nobody's surprise, but can still be an offensive weapon with an 85 standing dunk and 84 shot close.

The 270 pounds allow for a big increase in strength to help you bully smaller oppositions and hold your own against all the 7'3 Glass Cleaners out there.

An 89 steal will mean you'll be able to strip most bigs as they usually have very little ball control and will allow you to start fast breaks for your team to pick up easy points.

A huge 20 badges can be earned through this build, the main HOF badge being Chase Down Artist.

This combined with an 85 block and 80 lateral quickness you'll be able to help your guards if they come across a speedy slasher and with the gold Rim Protector badge will make it almost impossible for the opposition to score any points in the paint.

Keeping this build at 6'10 allows for level 1 athletic dunk packages to be equipped while still getting all big man dunks as well.
