No, the majority of your NBA 2K24 build is set in stone and cannot be changed after you've started a MyCAREER save. Your position as well as all physical attributes including height, weight, wingspan, and maximum NBA 2K24 ratings at every ability cannot be altered at any time or in any way without creating a new build and new save.
