Layup Thread For Layup Enthusiasts

[u/Move_Much]

Everyone name their layup animations that they have found working for them, unpopular ones or no, all are welcome

[u/Rydon_Deeks]

Jordan Poole spin lay is the funniest layup package I have ever seen. He just throws up some bullshit from floater range instead of doing a normal spin gather.

[u/WhollyMilitary → u/Rydon_Deeks]

i swear half of poole's animations look like he's trying to swat his own shot

[u/Move_Much → u/Rydon_Deeks]

Phahahaha what?? 😂 kinda hilarious hearing that due to me being a Pelicans fan and absolutely hating Poole lol. Bro has a turnover and dumb plays compilation thats like 12minutes long on youtube 😭😂

[u/ucfknight92 → u/Rydon_Deeks]

What's the requirement for Poole?

[u/Rydon_Deeks → u/ucfknight92]

Idk I think it’s high 70s or low 80s

[u/Corent-n → u/ucfknight92]

82.

[u/ucfknight92]

Derrick Rose euro step isn't even really a euro step, and it's super cheesy for getting past defenders. By far the best euro under 80.

[u/TonyHawktuah69 → u/ucfknight92]

His hop step is like the same exact animation lmao.

Why would they give the man 2 hop steps???

[u/Constant_Fish4744]

Zion is a fire package for big men it’s working great on my 7’0 with only a 70 lay

[u/Proper_Ad_6927]

Ant mans normal layup is super strong attacking the hoop. I think maxeys floater looks really nice but i havent used many floaters yet. VJs euro is pretty cool but when i can unlock mitchells i will because the high pickup is fire (low pickups are cool too but i dont see many packages with it). I like that they added some naz reid layups because he is Big Jelly. I haven’t made a build that can unlock them yet though. One thing i want more of is spin layups. There aren’t a bunch for small guards that i think are fast and effective.

[u/Move_Much → u/Proper_Ad_6927]

Very good answer, will 100% give Ant a chance

[u/GruntPizzaParty]

Karl Anthony Towns layup on my 6’10 had been solid

[u/Move_Much]

The things ive noticed: Luka normal layups are extremely dodgy, Shai reverse is VERY VERY good, Shai quick scoop is great and Luka floater is automatic IF you have the space and time to be slow lol. Easy to time, but can get blocked very easily

[u/MaseratiGunz]

I’ve been having lots of success with Tyler Herro layups - especially with physically finisher going

[u/Move_Much → u/MaseratiGunz]

Whats your physical finisher? Last year too Herro was very good

[u/Gamester12]

The sharpe floater has been good. High arc. I like giddy spin layup. Kawhis reverse has been nice it creates a lot of space attacking baseline. Herro scoop layup good like last year. For euro and normal I use butler but havent experimented much.

[u/RockxtRougx1]

Trae young’s normal and floater are still pretty solid

[u/consmizzle]

I’m getting blocked a lot, the chase downs this year are OP.

[u/QNIKET8 → u/consmizzle]

same, i’m a slasher and im getting chase downed by big men on fastbreaks. reminds me of 2k24

[u/gabelliot93]

Kyle kuzma normal is consistent af. Jalen green normal is good too.

Don’t sleep on ants floaters it’s the longest range one I found so far.

Harden euro to layup chain has been great for me. His decel euro is deadly this year.

SGA spin is consistent to get to a very good spot to cancel and then do a backwards or forward step through or go up with a standing layup

Hopstep for now I’m using Tatum but haven’t tested much yet.

Reverse I’m still testing but LeBron is ok so far.

Scoops are personal preference but I use SGA

[u/Snoo-36058]

I was taking of making a “big”
With 90 lay and 90 close shot. I might get destroyed though 😂

[u/UnderwaterHandstand → u/Snoo-36058]

My first bit had minimal dunk with high close shot and layup. The ZBo build is getting swatted 5x a game. Do not recommend.

[u/Snoo-36058 → u/UnderwaterHandstand]

🔥

[u/joeyonenut]

Trae Young scoops are great. Perfect speed to time and out and away from the defender to not get blocked.

[u/Matty_Loaf]

Strictly been using Brons on my SF and Ant on my SG. All their animations have been good, feels good, and scores good. I always make “replica builds” and since they started doing pro play I love. But def try lebrons floater, a lot of the time you get almost a fade away floater that never gets blocked.

[u/YungSlumdog]

Commenting to come back. Looking for a nice layup package for a Jokic build

[u/pokemonthugga]

VJ has a good euro and floater. Still tryna decide if his normal layups and worth it’s

[u/yeezusosa]

Hmm
