NBA 2K22: Best Point Guard Builds

#2 Offensive Threat

Damian Lillard representing USA at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics

An offensive threat point guard build in NBA 2K22 essentially only cares about scoring and putting the ball in the hoop so your Finishing and Shooting abilities will be prioritized over the Defense/Rebounding and Playmaking.

Skill Breakdown: 36% Finishing, 36% Shooting, 14% Playmaking, 14% Defense

Physical Profile: High Agility, Medium Vertical, Low Strength

Player Creation: Body Type - Solid, Height - 6'3", Weight- 190 lbs, Wingspan - 76"

Takeover: Spot Up Shooter

To set your potential with this build in NBA 2K22, as mentioned earlier, you will prioritize Finishing and Shooting attributes. Max out the top three in Finishing - Close Shot, Driving Layup and Dunk and max out the top three in Shooting as well - Mid-Range, Three-point and Free throw shot. Also max out the Ball Handle and/or Pass accuracy in the Playmaking Category as it will give you more opportunities to score for yourself or create shots for your teammates through gravity.

The rest of the attributes can be evenly distributed with added emphasis on Finishing and Shooting. Defense/Rebounding attributes will have their highest potential around 50-60 in this build in NBA 2K22 so you can max out the point guard-related attributes in defense such as Lateral Quickness, Steals and Perimeter Defense.

Bagdes: This build will give you 50 badges with 23 in Shooting and 17 in Finishing along with 6 in Playmaking and 4 in Defense/Rebounding. You can choose HOF badges in Shooting and Finishing such as Tireless Shooter and Circus Threes or Quick First Step in Playmaking.

#1 Playmaking Shot Creator

Stephen Curry is the joint highest-rated player in NBA 2K22

The ideal point guard in the NBA and in NBA 2K22. A small, quick guard who can get his own shot while also creating for his teammates.

Skill Breakdown: 45% Shooting, 27% Playmaking, 14% Finishing, 14% Defense

Physical Profile: High Agility, Medium Vertical, Low Strength

Player Creation: Body Type - Slight, Height - 6'2", Weight- 167 lbs, Wingspan - 74.5"

Takeover: Spot Up Shooter

To set up potential for this NBA 2K22 point guard build, you will need to max out the first two Finishing attributes - Close Shot and Driving layup. Driving Dunk can be halfway filled (up to 60). You need to max out everything in Shooting - Mid-range, Three-point and free throw shot along with Post fade. One alternative is if you max out the first three and keep Post Fade as 77 or 78 as it will give you enough shooting badges and also leave attribute upgrades for rest.

The rest of the Finishing badges can either be left as it is or get minor upgrades like one or two points each depending on how much upgrades you have left for this NBA 2K22 build. Playmaking attributes need to be maxed out except Post Control which can be upgraded by a few points. Moreover, in Defense/Rebounding, the usual point guard-related attributes can be maxed out - Lateral Quickness, Steals and Perimeter Defense and the rest can be invested in Finishing or Defensive Rebounding.

Bagdes: This build will give you 56 badges in NBA 2K22 with 25 in Shooting and 24 in Playmaking along with 6 in Defense/Rebounding and 1 in Finishing. You can choose HOF badges in Shooting and Playmaking such as Volume Shooter, Tireless Shooter, Circus Threes, Quick First Step and Ankle Breaker.
