Stack bigs and non-shooters. FG%, REB, BLK become your weapons — and 3PM is a category guard-heavy opponents can farm easily. Surrender the range game, own the paint.

Not a traditional Punt 3PM anchor — you're not really punting anything with SGA. But if you want a weak spot to lean on, his 1.7 3PM is relatively low for a guard.

1.0 3PM as a rookie — could improve substantially with offseason development, which would push him out of this build.

Generic-big slot — pretty much any non-shooting big fits here. Giannis, Chet, Gobert, Sengun all anchor a Punt 3PM build naturally.
