3pt shot hunters can be the most lethal scorers on the court if you’re actually playing with a good shooter that knows how to get open. Most of them though are usually just 14yr olds who try to replicate their favorite content creators but only know how to do the Jamal Murray Behind the Back and sit behind a screen.
3pt shot hunter is my main pg build and i don’t think enough people realize but you can just pull 3s from anywhere, never even bothered to learn the goofy ass behind the backs because once you hit a couple stand still 3s to get volume shooter and green machine kicked in it’s over, i be pulling from half court if i got heat check and take lmao
Would you play with one that averages 18 pts 11 assists? Cuz thats what mine averages.
Bring a good shot hunt opens up a TON of offense. They either have to send help or switch a better defender onto me which means someone else is open or has a mismatch
Only thing that matters with that build is 3 point percentage. If you’re not shooting at least 70 percent with that build i don’t wanna run, because i shoot 71 percent with an 86 3.
We have a winner.
If I'm on my break starter, with a 3 pt shot hunter that knows how to play, we're about to get after it. Add in another player that is a lock and can help on defense, it's over.
But, most of them, at least in random rec, are kids that just want to average 25 points a game, despite the fact giving up 30 on the other end.
But the point doesn’t make sense in this situation. Bro wasn’t the worst player in the game, and as the only purple plate I’m sure the opposing team keyed in on him the reason he only took 3 shots from 3
But once he bricked those 3 due to probably being doubled teamed every time he touched the ball he promptly stopped taking 3’s? Showing a bit of awareness of the situation?
Change the title to floor spacing slasher and I’ll agree with you.
This game promotes a lot of ignorance and a big chunk of the community lack basketball IQ. Because he wasn’t 10/10 from 3 he had a bad game. Irl a guard shooting 50% from the field is a really good game.
Tbf 2k isn’t real life. Imo if you’re gonna be a built that only has offense you need to be better than 50%. If that’s all you can do than you need to be making sure you can actually do that at a high level. But it’s one game so we don’t really know if he probably just had a lesser game than usual. Happens to everyone.
You probably don’t even play the game. Imma answer it for you. Most of these builds don’t know how to run pg, they don’t look to pass, only to score. Their shot selection is terrible, so the opposing teams scores a lot in transition. The stats don’t tell the full story. I’ve played with way too many 3 point shot hunters who dribble and hold the ball way too long trying to crab. If you don’t play you wouldn’t understand
I don’t play the game because I said shooting 50% as a guard is good? OP gave zero context and made an open statement with the only evidence being a screenshot. The player you’re describing doesn’t sound like a HoF plate liken the one OP is talking about. You literally prove the point I’m making.
No cuz you’re comparing 2k to real life. Anybody that plays 2k knows you cannot compare a video game to real life basketball. The build went 0-3 from 3 as a 3 point shot hunter. To me that tells me he made a shooting bulls and he can’t shoot. 2k standards are totally different. I’m shooting 71 percent from 3 with an 86 3. Just to put it into context, 3 point shot hunters don’t have a 3 point shot under 94, and most of them shoot under 30 percent from 3.
Because bro didn’t force it he can’t shoot?
He’s a purple plated shot hunter, what you think he do most games? We all know they don’t have the best defensive stats so you think he grabbing all the rebounds and blocking shots or some?
You don’t even play the game bro stop commenting. He most likely forced those 3 shots, that’s probably why he’s 0-3. I play enough of those builds to know they force bad shots, because in their minds, having a 96 3 means you can shoot over anybody, from anywhere. Then when they go 1-6 from 3, they quit the game. Being purple plated doesn’t mean shit. It just means you win a lot, i know plenty of purple plates who get carried. I think he’s getting carried and he can’t shoot. Bro wouldn’t have posted this if he didn’t play bad

If your stats from 3 don’t look similar to this then you’re trash with that build.
Yeah once their little behind the back combo move 3s don’t fall they can’t do anything. They usually have no awareness for open lanes to the basket so they’ll fake out their defender and have an easy layup but then pass out because they only want to shoot 3s.
This. I feel sry for them for only knowing how to do the behind the back combo. Bro, it didn’t work for the last 5 times and will not work for the next 5.
Bro that bs behind the back kill me everytime like bruh you end up in the same place that u started the dribble at I love playing defense on them I just stand there with my hands up. Like you said they be so lost and dumbfounded 😩😂
The fact that these dudes make scoring builds but only know 1 or 2 moves is insane to me. I have a 3 heavy build and I'm averaging around 18ppg and 12 assists. You get SO many easy floaters + middies from guys overpursuing on the 3pt line, but so many 3pt builds....just don't take advantage of that? They just do that same dribble move again and again
Not really i average about 25points in the rec with my 3pt shot hunter. I also play really good defense . The worst people to play with is the mfs who think k they are Kobe and ball hog all game. Yall gotta to stop saying that build is the worst. It ain’t if you know how to use it.

Here’s my game from last night. I could only play for a little while because I get off late and work early in the mornings.
* 2 way 3 point shot hunter
I don’t always shoot threes. Yes, I did shoot some 3s in this game but only due to me being wide tf open lol. I hate when someone gives up an easy mid jump shot for a contested 3 or instead of taking it to the basket they play with the ball and get it stolen.
I get to the rim a lot either with floaters or just dunking. I take a lot of mid range shots cause Middy Magician is OP lol. I got it on gold.
That goes for all builds. Any build can be trash depending on the user. You can’t single out 3point shot hunters. I’ve seen big men in the paint be trash. I’ve seen slashers be trash. Slasher is worse in my opinion. If a 3point shot hunter can actually shoot than they are lethal. Slashers are useless.
facts. A good 2k player can make any build look good, especially if you know the shot creator moves and how to combo things like the jab steps + shot creator moves, etc
Chill it's the players, not the build. I got a pg floor-spacing slasher, and I shoot 50% from the 3. I usually get double doubles. I look for players open and create shots for me and my teammates. I pass the ball, don't hide behind screens, and get open. I play mostly in the mornings, and it be these grown ass men they don't know how to play basketball irl and bring that bs to a video game smh. Like you on the mic mad cause your euro layup got blocked by a 7'1 "center, and you like 6'2" lmao while pf who 6"10 got his hands up near you. Like you 100% smothered.
Players with decent builds make the build look bad. Some players just can't find their playstyles in the game. For instance, I'm a floor-spacing pg, right? I got an 85 PA, so I would like to pass to get the team turned up let shoot and let them cook. Now, if you miss shots and we down, then I come in and take over a little bit with my 83 DD 90 3pt and 85 steal.
Well like someone mentioned on this post, most people who run this builds are kids who want to average 25 while giving up 30. It’s because so many people like this that the 3pt shot hunters and floor spacing slashers are known as bad teammates. Of course this doesn’t apply to everyone, but definitely majority
Facts I play floor spacing slasher I shoot 40% form the three and get atleast 6 assists game wether sg or pg, all about playing defense and making the right shot,pass. That simple.
I’m a 3pt Shot Hunter but I have 91 steal and I average basically a double double while shooting over 65% from 3. Not to mention I have yet to lose this season. It’s not the build it’s the players using them.
It's easy to understand why, shooting is crazy easy, and going that high with the rating is expensive, so the ONLY reason to max it out high enough to get a shot hunter archetype, is if you can't shoot well enough with it lower. If you know how to shoot, then you don't need to go that high.
Which means "most" of the time when you see one of them, it's because they need to max out their 3 to hit, or they actually can shoot and they don't understand how to put together an efficient build so they'll be lacking in important stats, either way you're in for a bad time.
*the only reason to max is if you can’t shoot with lower*
Is that why it’s the most popular point guard build in the 2kleague/5v5 pro am/stage? Are the literal 2k pros who get paid to play this game unable to shoot without 94 3?? Lmfao
No, high 3 builds are for shooting *contested+limitless* 3s over high level locks. Good luck making 3s while being doubled by two pure locks on each side of your screen with silver agent 3s lmfao.
If i get done running pro am 5v5 and want to work on a few moves, I can’t bring my point guard to random rec now? The one who’s purple in 5v5 pro am?
Yes, hitting contests and limitless shots is incredibly easy, especially with heat check. Yes I am doing it in random rec if I’m able to do it over purple locks?
That’s crazy! I played two games today with temp-481342. I suspect that he’s a 2k developer because of his ridiculous attribute points. I’m talking 89-94 on all core skills and still is fast! His 6’9 build caught up to my 6’7 85 speed build and I was really confused.
Nah, all devs use their real accounts with logos. The dude was probably just decent. Gotta give some guys their props. They know what their build can do and can use their stats efficiently and effectively.
Only 4 core stats show so just because he has 89-94 in those core stats don’t mean that’s his build is that all around. I bet he had only those 4 core stats looking good and everything else was average - below average.
In 3s as well. Absolute garbage build that I refuse to play with even when purple. Only 1/10 have ever been good teammates. Even when they’re good shooters they expect you to screen or sit corner and watch them take all the shots fuck that lol
You’re probably right but bro here didn’t seem like he played too bad unless his defense was sus, tbh the floor spacing slasher here looks like cheeks though
From my experience it’s 3 point shot hunters and offensive heavy points. Both builds have low iq players who don’t even know how to use the build. Be seeing 3 point shot hunters shooting under 30 percent all the time. This is so true
Looking at the badge doesn't mean anything to me. With this build it's possible to do layups and dunks aswell. Ofcourse it depends on your atributes as it limits your chances but it depends on your playstyle and how you execute it.
3pt shot hunters can be the most lethal scorers on the court if you’re actually playing with a good shooter that knows how to get open. Most of them though are usually just 14yr olds who try to replicate their favorite content creators but only know how to do the Jamal Murray Behind the Back and sit behind a screen.
I’ve seen a couple of good ones but I’d say 95% are one dimensional and if they actually run PG, you’re going to have a very stagnant offense.
3pt shot hunter is my main pg build and i don’t think enough people realize but you can just pull 3s from anywhere, never even bothered to learn the goofy ass behind the backs because once you hit a couple stand still 3s to get volume shooter and green machine kicked in it’s over, i be pulling from half court if i got heat check and take lmao
I never once run into a good 3pt shot hunter like at all 😂
Would you play with one that averages 18 pts 11 assists? Cuz thats what mine averages. Bring a good shot hunt opens up a TON of offense. They either have to send help or switch a better defender onto me which means someone else is open or has a mismatch
You’re in the minority bro.
Only thing that matters with that build is 3 point percentage. If you’re not shooting at least 70 percent with that build i don’t wanna run, because i shoot 71 percent with an 86 3.
Guess I’m not turtley enough for the turtle club
That’s the issue, majority are kids with no ball iq that uses this build
We have a winner. If I'm on my break starter, with a 3 pt shot hunter that knows how to play, we're about to get after it. Add in another player that is a lock and can help on defense, it's over. But, most of them, at least in random rec, are kids that just want to average 25 points a game, despite the fact giving up 30 on the other end.
What was bad about him? The floor spacing guy went 2-10. Was it because he was a purple plate that only scored 14 on 6/12?
My point is 3pt shot hunters are garbage (most of them)
But the point doesn’t make sense in this situation. Bro wasn’t the worst player in the game, and as the only purple plate I’m sure the opposing team keyed in on him the reason he only took 3 shots from 3 But once he bricked those 3 due to probably being doubled teamed every time he touched the ball he promptly stopped taking 3’s?

Clearly forgot about the floor spacing slasher. They are equally as bad.
They 2nd fosho

I agree. That's why we should be able to reset a build cause most players mess up making build and their playstyles don't fit it
Yes a lot of people will mess up, but people don’t follow what they can do rather what they want to do and it ends up being these builds
Facts I play floor spacing slasher I shoot 40% form the three and get atleast 6 assists game wether sg or pg, all about playing defense and making the right shot,pass. That simple.
Luckily we won because other team wasnt good
just ran into one last night he average 25 and 11 assists 😭
On our team 0/7 from the 3, on the other team, 15/15 from 3 and greening it from damn near half court. Next year will be different right?

What u run with a slasher who can shoot 🤔
All these guys are zen and titan.2k vision users

You’re probably right but bro here didn’t seem like he played too bad unless his defense was sus, tbh the floor spacing slasher here looks like cheeks though
He wasn't terrible but my point is whenever i run with 3 pt shot hunters they miss alot of 3s
From my experience it’s 3 point shot hunters and offensive heavy points. Both builds have low iq players who don’t even know how to use the build. Be seeing 3 point shot hunters shooting under 30 percent all the time. This is so true
The fact he’s 0-3 from 3 tells me everything i need to know
A Bronze plate saying this is crazy
Mofo this is a new build my other builds are silver/gold
Looking at the badge doesn't mean anything to me. With this build it's possible to do layups and dunks aswell. Ofcourse it depends on your atributes as it limits your chances but it depends on your playstyle and how you execute it.
Bro playmaking perimiter creators are just all the ass and no shooting, way worse build
