Gameplay Tips for DUNCAN Build

Offensive Tips

Bank is Open: With a mid-range shot at 75, you gotta make that bank shot your bread and butter, just like Timmy did.

Bully in the Post: You got that 79 Post Control and a solid 87 Standing Dunk. Work the defender in the post and then give ’em that business with a power dunk. Show ’em why you’re a beast in the paint!

Soft Touch: Close shot at 85 means you can drop those little hooks and floaters with ease. Don’t be scared to get a little finesse in your game!

Defensive Tips

Interior Defense: With an 82, you’re a brick wall. Make them second guess coming into the paint.

Rebound King: You’re sittin’ pretty with 85 on Defensive Rebounds and a 70 on Offensive Rebounds. Crash those boards like it’s your job. More boards, more possessions, more dubs.

General Tips

Fundamentals First: You ain’t no dribble god with a 33 Ball Handle, but that’s cool. Stick to the basics and you’ll still rack up those double-doubles.

Play Smart, Play Big: With that 68 Pass Accuracy, you can dish it out when you need to. Be the quarterback in the post; kick it out to shooters or find the cutter.

Know Your Role: You ain’t the fastest on the court, but you got that 92 Strength. Use that to your advantage to seal off defenders and make space. Be the anchor on defense and the go-to in the clutch on offense.

Free Throws: Alright, your FT is at 54, so maybe you ain’t money from the charity stripe. That’s cool, just make ’em when it counts.
