NBA 2K20 players can create the best small forward build and dominate the court like LeBron James, Kevin Durant, and the Greek Freak, Giannis Antetokounmpo. Joe Knows, an NBA 2K20 YouTuber, reveals which badges players should unlock and where players should put their attribute points to make the best SF build.

How to Make the Best Small Forward Build in NBA 2K20

Los Angeles Lakers player LeBron James is one of the best NBA players to play in the small forward position and is half of one of the NBA's best frontcourt duos, so Joe Knows has built the SF build around him. LeBron is strong, fast and great vertically which makes him a formidable opponent and a court "bully" but also a difficult player to create within the limits of the NBA 2K20 MyPlayer creator.

Joe Knows has had to make some compromises, making the SF build a little weaker in defense so that the character has brilliant finish and playmaking, which is what LeBron James is best at.

The LeBron James build made by Joe Knows may look great, but it could take players a while to get to this level. Earning all of these badges could be difficult and players will have to use these suggestions for getting badges fast, going for badges such as Difficult Shots first to help them get more points.

Having skills like LeBron James, who is great at shooting but is also good at providing assists to teammates also works best is the rest of the team is skilled too. So in the NBA 2K20 MyCareer mode, try to get drafted onto a team that offers that.
