When designing this character in NBA 2K24, aim for a towering 7 feet 2 inches in height, weighing in at 224 pounds, with a wingspan stretching an impressive 8 feet. This configuration excels in critical areas such as shot-blocking, dominant inside scoring, and formidable rebounding abilities. However, it does have some limitations, particularly in ball handling and speed, which are hampered by lower attribute ratings.

To start, the remarkable height of this build grants a significant advantage when it comes to swatting away opponent’s shots. Additionally, it boasts exceptional skills in offensive rebounding, making it adept at regaining possession after a missed shot attempt. Moreover, its proficiency in inside scoring ensures that it can efficiently convert those second-chance opportunities into points.
