Overview
Build-A-Bucket Guide is an independent fan-made companion for the Build-A-Bucket basketball browser game. It brings a local ten-pick board together with dated explanations of the game rules and player attributes. The website is free to use and the core board does not require signup.
Record a run
Choose the relevant role and mode, then record your picks and the grades you can actually see. The board keeps the recorded choices together so they can be reviewed after the run. Save an export as JSON when you want a separate copy of that record. This is a record of your observations, not a prediction of the official result.
Compare the roles
The Guard and Big guides explain their visible attribute labels. A documented ten-pick example provides a concrete reference for understanding the workflow. Date labels help readers distinguish an observation from a rule that might change in the live game.
Evidence and limits
The local review tools focus on the information that has been recorded and on whether the board is complete. They do not reproduce the hidden official rating formula or promise a particular OVR. Keep the role, mode, and observed run together when comparing results.
Getting started
Open the guide, read the rules or role comparison, and use the local board while playing the original game separately. The companion is not affiliated with the official game, the NBA, or any team. There is no paid subscription for the guide or local board.
