NBA 2K25 shooting guard build
A strong shooting guard to land every opportunity
A strong NBA 2K25 shooting guard build does more than just set you up to land shots more often than not. It's a good way to break down defenses and make life easier for your forward and point guards, since it creates a well-rounded character who does more than just fancy dunks.
NBA 2K25 shooting guard build
We’ve created a solid, balanced shooting guard build that prioritizes more strength than usual to help get you through tight defenses. Accuracy and ball speed are sometimes overlooked in shooting guard builds as well, but we're recommending plenty of attention for both stats. You won't get far if the slowest opponent can overtake you, and even the best shooting guard has to pass sometimes.
Shooting Guard physicals
Don't neglect strength for your SG. Strength in 2K governs how easily your player can break through the opposing team's defense, and assuming your SG is on the ball and not relying on a PG for setups, they'll need all the help they can get. Plus it's just convenient being able to do it yourself instead of relying on another teammate.
| Stat | Value |
|---|---|
| Height | 6'4 |
| Weight | 185lbs |
| Wingspan | 6'8 |
| Speed | 80 |
| Agility | 75 |
| Strength | 55-60 |
| Vertical | 70 |
Shooting Guard finishing
Folks often prioritize Driving Layup over Driving Dunk, so we fixed the problem by doing both. Like with the point guard, you likely won't need post control for online play, and even though our SG build prioritizes strength, you get a lot more out of Driving Dunk than you do from Standing Dunk. Invest any leftover points in Close Shot or Driving Layup.
| Stat | Value |
|---|---|
| Close Shot | 70 |
| Driving Layup | 85 |
| Driving Dunk | 90 |
| Standing Dunk | 25 |
| Post Control | 35 |

| Midrange | 93 |
| 3-Point | 90 |

Shooting Guard playmaking
Passing accuracy and speed with ball are often treated as secondary concerns, but they're essential if you want to give your SG more opportunities to score.
| Stat | Value |
|---|---|
| Passing Accuracy | 80 |
| Ball Handle | 90 |
| Speed with Ball | 90 |
Shooting Guard defense
We're being selective in which defense stats get attention, but if it's not working for you, feel free to bump up interior and block.
| Stat | Value |
|---|---|
| Interior Defense | 30 |
| Perimeter Defense | 75 |
| Steal | 75 |
| Block | 35 |
