🎮 How to Play the Build
Maximize this build by focusing on mid-post dominance and defensive control:
Work from the Elbow: Post up defenders just inside the arc. Use two controlled dribbles, then trigger Post Fade Phenom to create separation.
Defensive Anchor: Match up against top scorers. Your speed, agility, and Gold Challenger make it easy to funnel players into help defense.
Slash Selectively: Combine off-ball cuts with dribble attacks. Exploit defensive rotations to find clean shot opportunities.
Selective Three-Point Shooting: Only take open threes. This build thrives inside 18 feet, not beyond the arc.
💪 Strengths and Trade-Offs

Trade-Offs
