  • Position: Point Guard
  • Jersey Number: 30
  • Height: 6'2"
  • Weight: 185
  • Wingspan: 6'4"

The Chef build may not be the most effective playmaking sharpshooter build, but it does have quality shooting and ball-handling attributes at the cost of defense. Other replica builds like Luka Dončić, or Gary Payton are a little more balanced at the PG position, but it depends on how you like to play. There are many other replica builds to try out, so check them out below.
