After point guard, shooting guard is the second most popular position in NBA 2K25. That's why many players select that position when building their MyPLAYER.
A shooting guard can be a field general, orchestrating the attack, while also being capable of shooting the lights out, and taking over a game offensively. However, shooting guards also need to be solid defenders, especially since they will most likely guard other terrific offensive guards.
So let's find out what is the best shooting guard build in NBA 2K25
Best Shooting Guard Build in NBA 2K25
Shooting guards are sharpshooters, bucket-getters, players who can carry an offense, and score in many ways. On top of that, they also need to have good playmaking ability, find open teammates, excel in the pick-and-roll, and attack switches.
While playmaking is associated with point guards, in today's game, the line between a point guard and a shooting guard is blurry in today's game, even in NBA 2K. But normally, point guards have higher passing attributes.
With this build, players can create their own shots with ease, excel at three-point shots, are lightning fast, have great perimeter defense, which allows them to lockdown opposing guards, have good ball handling skills, and solid finishing at the rim.
All of this creates the best shooting guard in NBA 2K25, a character that can impact both sides of the court, and take over a game with its offensive prowess.
Without further ado, let's take a look at the template, attributes, badges, and takeovers of this shooting guard build.
