01
Pick a position
PG, SG, SF, PF, or C — it sets which of the 13 attributes matter most for your OVR.
02
Draft 13 skills
Each round, steal one attribute from a real NBA legend. Thirteen picks fill your player.
03
Simulate a season
Your finished player runs an 82-game season for a record, playoff seed, and title odds.
Build a player for any position
The strongest builds aren't the ones with the most A+ grades — they're the ones that match the position's job. Pick a starting point below, then draft to cover its core skills before you patch a weakness.

Common questions
What does “build a NBA player” mean?+
You create one fictional basketball player by taking a single skill from a different real NBA player each round. After 13 rounds you have a complete build with a shooting, finishing, defense, rebounding and IQ profile, then the game simulates a season with it.
Is this the same as Build a Bucket or Build a Hooper?+
Yes — build a player, build a bucket, and build a hooper are three names for the same draft-one-skill-per-round game. This site runs that loop for free.
Can I build a specific position?+
Yes. Choose your position first (or let Chaos mode hide it). Each position weighs the 13 attributes differently, so the same picks score a different overall depending on whether you're building a guard or a big.
Is there a signup or download?+
No. It's a free browser game — open it and play. Your best run is saved locally on your device, and you can post a score to the global leaderboard if you want.
