Giant Slayer - 2k23 Badge Details
Not a badge we normally recommend since small guards going up on bigs is normally a bad idea, but with some new layup animations and better finishing in 23, this could be worth a shot. Tear dropper has also been rolled into Giant Slayer

Giant Slayer - 2k23 Test Details
To test Giant Slayer we took 200 contested layups against a defender that is 4 inches taller and we took them at each badge level and recorded the increase in made layups.
Giant Slayer - 2k23 Test Results
The results show a pretty solid boost to contested layups. With Giant Slayer being tier 1 on all builds its a good choice, especially if you are 6'5 or shorter.

This table shows how many attribute points you need in order to unlock a badge at the level in the header. If a badge is a Tier 1 badge you do not need any attributes in order to unlock the badge at a bronze level. If its Tier 2 or 3, you will need to meet the attribute threshold to unlock the badge. If there is more than one attribute listed, you only need to meet the threshold on one of the attributes, not multiple.
