At any position on the court. Which do you think is more valuable in 2k18?

Sharps because threes are OP

Sharps because they space the floor

A good sharp is more valuable than a good slasher for a few reasons, but the big ones are 3>2 and they allow their teammates more room to operate

Since when are 50/50 3 balls valued more than 60% on 2s?

This shift in the game has baffled me for years.

Athletic players without jumpers still go pretty high in the draft. It's not like Ben Simmons was shooting the lights out and people wanted him to get MVP over Harden!

But in 2k athleticism isn't valued at all.

And the fact that slashers have a 61 max 3 pointer is okay with you? If we could stretch the floor at a 33% clip, would that be "cheese"?

You literally have to have at least 2-3 sharps on your team. A stretch big and a PG at the least. You cannot even operate an offense against elite talent without 2 guys who spray it from limitless.

If i were building a perfect team I’d probably have 3 playmaking sharpshooters a stretch big and a pure post scorer. Who the hell are you going to help off of against that 5? Maybe put in a Slashing sharpshooter or a shot creating sharpshooter at the 3 as your fast break specialist.

I hate that this 2k is built like that but it’s the reality. You cannot win if your trotting out more than one non shooting archetype. Teams will simply bring help off him and ruin the offense for everyone else

Pure Slashers and pure athletics can shoot pretty good % if wide open. Make your dudes arms short. If you know your release i guarantee you’ll hit around 40% consistently. Iv seen it done in team pro am and park. Teammates with dimer are your best friend
