Best point guard builds in NBA 2K25

Choosing the perfect build for your point guard in NBA 2K25 is certainly a challenge. This is one of the most important positions in basketball, so you have to be careful when picking your attributes. This is also a diverse position, so you will have to pick the role that suits your squad. For this position, we advise you to create a two-way build.

In this guide, we will cover a fantastic two-way PG build in NBA 2K25. By recreating this build, you will be able to dominate your opponents on both ends of the floor. Furthermore, the build is very fun, as you can throw down monster dunks and posterize opposing defenders.

What is the best point guard build in NBA 2K25?

Once you decide to create a point guard, you will need to choose your body type. This means selecting height, weight, and wingspan. All of these attributes will affect your ratings and your performance on the court, so you’ll have to be careful. Our build is a 6-foot-3 point guard with a longer wingspan and under-average weight.

These are the parameters you want to pick:

Offense

With this 6-foot-3 point guard build, you will be a force to be reckoned with on both ends of the floor. However, keep in mind that this is not a pass-first build. While you will be able to dish out assists and get your teammates involved, the build is primarily focused on scoring. Essentially, you can be a primary ball handler and a three-level scorer.

Two of your highest ratings on offense will be for a three-point shot (94) and a driving dunk (94). This will allow you to get the Gold Limitless Range badge and knock down long-distance shots consistently.

Keep in mind that you will be much more than an outside threat. With a 94-rated driving dunk, posterizing opponents will be a piece of cake. Despite standing at only 6-foot-3, you’ll be able to throw down dunks over opposing defenders. If they stop you in your tracks, you will mostly finish the play with a contact layup instead.

With an 87 speed rating, you’ll also be able to beat your opponents off the dribble and run in transition. Considering that you will be mostly at the top of the key, especially in zone defense, you can use your team’s defense to easy points in transition.

These are the full offensive attributes for our NBA 2K25 point guard build.

You can try to slightly adjust these attributes to your liking. However, you should not increase standing dunk or post control, as you will rarely play in the post. You could potentially increase your pass accuracy if your team needs you to take a bigger playmaking role.

Defense

A massive advantage of this PG build is that you’ll be able to dominate NBA 2K25 on both ends of the floor. Your opponents will have to work hard to stop you, but once they get the ball, you will be a defensive menace. As a 6-foot-3 guard who weighs only 170 pounds, you won’t be able to play interior defense. However, your perimeter D will be incredible.

As a perimeter defender, you will want to stay ahead of your opponent at all times and try to poke the ball loose. With a steal rating of 96, you will also be able to snatch the ball out of your opponent’s hands at times, leading to a fast break.

These are all the defensive ratings for the NBA 2K25 point guard build.

One of the biggest weaknesses of this build is the interior defense. When you get matched up against bigger guards and point forwards, you will be put at a massive disadvantage, as they will beat you nine times out of 10 if they get close to the basket.

Your lateral quickness will allow you to stay in front of your opponent and deny them an easy drive to the rim. However, if they beat you and get in front of you, you should coordinate with your team to switch on defense. If you find yourself struggling against bigger opponents on defense, you can also switch to zone defense and have your frontcourt teammates deal with drives.

Athleticism

As a three-level scorer, you will need to be quick enough to beat your opponents off the dribble and get to the rim. That is why this point guard build has a high speed and vertical rating, which will help you drive to the rim and finish inside.

Standing at 6-foot-3, you won’t be tasked with grabbing boards, neither on offense or defense. However, your vertical rating of 85 will allow you to grab a few rebounds from time to time. As for strength, you should keep it low, as your weight won’t allow you to bully the opponents.

Badges & Takeovers

Badges and Takeovers are all important aspects of NBA 2K25, and this PG build has many of them. By creating this build, you’ll be able to get three Bronze badges, even Silver badges, nine Gold ones, and three Hall of Fame.

These are all the Gold and Hall of Fame badges your player will have.

Besides badges, the build has many Takeovers that will elevate your game to a new level. This is the list of all eligible takeovers.
