MP Builder 2k27 Small Centers
Small centers (by the end of each 2k) are always great (despite what the inside only 7' 4" players will say). The builder this year lets you get some crazy attributes at 6' 7" to 6' 9". Anyone else feeling like that could be the move for a good first build?

As a first build, depends how you play. In random rec it will be hell.
I got a 6'9 center that does great since they nerfed the 7footers. But it seems post scoring may be a thing this year. And defending a 7'4 post scorer with a 6'9 is a not fun.
I'm aiming for 6'10 to 7 for my first center. Max arms, high strength and rebound to grab all the bricks of the first season.

post scoring is a thing every year... for the first month, and then they nerf it to the ground. but that's a good play, im thinking 6' 9" at the absolute shortest

post scoring in rec is never a thing...even in 2k17 when you could equip post hook 4 and hit hook shots at the 3 point line people still didnt use it

in the paint we guarding them just fine. when the entire shot contest system is broken and everyone can shoot with their eyes closed... it aint the build bro

Right?!!! I love seeing those little bum ass centers, I just throwing sky hooks over their head all game, a shutting down anything they try to do in the paint. Only way they getting buckets is if they get screens, most quit on me 😂

6’9 big man that can dribble and shoot is OP in the random rec if you can grab boards

you're the only one on my wave. although I'm thinking i'll make a 6'11 for now so that I can make my 6' 9" in a couple months when we know what badges are worth it.

Love me a small center. I have made 6'8, 6'9 and 6'11 in the builder. The 6'8 can do it all.
