Physical Attributes

The foundation of any great player starts with their physical attributes. For your SG, you want a player who is quick and agile, with just enough strength to withstand some contact.

• Position: Shooting Guard
• Height: 6’4” – ideal for handling the ball while maintaining a solid shot release
• Weight: 175 lbs – keeps your player light on their feet for speed
• Wingspan: 6’6” – helps with defense and shooting range

Finishing

As an SG, you’ll want to be a threat both from the perimeter and inside the paint. Finishing ability is key when driving to the rim, allowing you to dunk over defenders and complete layups with ease.

• Close Shot: 72
• Driving Layup: 71
• Driving Dunk: 87
• Standing Dunk: 46
• Post Control: 36

With an 87 Driving Dunk, your player will be able to finish with authority, making you a serious threat while attacking the rim. A solid Close Shot and Layup Rating also ensures that you can score even when under pressure in the paint.

Shooting

This is where your shooting guard will truly shine. Elite shooting stats help your player space the floor, knock down threes, and consistently make mid-range shots.

• Mid-Range Shot: 86
• Three-Point Shot: 96
• Free Throw: 89

Your Three-Point Shot at 96 means your guard will be lethal from beyond the arc. Whether it's catch-and-shoot situations or pulling up off the dribble, you’ll be one of the best shooters on the court. Pair that with an 86 Mid-Range Shot, and you’re guaranteed to keep defenders guessing.

With an 86 Ball Handle and Speed with Ball, your guard will be able to get past defenders and create scoring opportunities. The pass accuracy is sufficient to make crisp passes and avoid turnovers when moving the ball around.

Defense

Even though you’ll be known for your scoring, you can’t forget about defense. A strong defensive game will make you an all-around player capable of locking down the opposing team’s best shooters.

• Interior Defense: 52
• Perimeter Defense: 85
• Steal: 91
• Block: 36
• Offensive Rebound: 25
• Defensive Rebound: 47

An 85 Perimeter Defense and 91 Steal Rating make your guard a pest on defense. You’ll be able to guard opposing guards effectively, force turnovers, and contribute to fast-break opportunities. Your defensive stats will ensure that you’re not just a one-dimensional player but a complete package.

• Speed: 90
• Agility: 92
• Strength: 45
• Vertical: 75

With 90 Speed, you can quickly take advantage of the opponent's vulnerabilities and turn the flow from defensive to counter-attacking in a matter of seconds to steal points away.
