Best Lockdown Build on NBA 2K23 Next & Current Gen (3 & D Wing)

How to make a 3&D wing in MyPLAYER Builder? Below is an overpowered NBA 2K23 lockdown build for current-gen and next-gen consoles, which is also a meta build for 2K23 Season 5. With this build by Uncle Demi, you are not just a defensive specialist, you also have the ability to score in the game.

1. Body Settings

For the height, you do want to go up to six foot eight and don’t go six nine because it takes away your gold defensive badges, then get your weight to 194 pounds, this is very important here, it’s going to be allowing you to get your perimeter defense. Finally, max out your wingspan, as a defensive player you want to have as long a wingspan as possible.

- Height: 6’8”

- Weight: 194 lbs

- Wingspan: 7’6”

2. Attributes

To make a lockdown build in 2K23, you do want to get your driving layup to an 80, which allows you to get the Zach LaVine layup package, one of the best layup packages in the game, then put your driving dunk to an 80 as well, as a lockdown, you're not meant to be trying to get all fancy contact dunks, getting quick drops is more important. When it comes to shooting attributes, you want to get your mid-range shot at 70 and get your 3pt shot to an 83, which is a sweet spot, it gives you silver agent threes, and your Claymore and Green Machine are going to be on gold. Then get your free throw on 70, and you’ll have 17 shooting badges. For playmaking, get your ball handle to 87, and 75 speed with ball to get the Michael Jordan dribble style, and then go 76 on your pass accuracy, this will give you Break Starter on gold, that's pretty important especially being a lockdown, and passing the ball down to in transition. On the defensive side, go 75 on interior defense and 92 on the perimeter defense, that's going to give you Challenger and Clamps on gold, then we get our steal to a 95, which will give you Glove on gold, next go with 93 block, it gives Anchor on gold, this is recommended badge for lockdowns in 2K23.
