The Shooting Guard is one of five basketball positions whose primary focus is scoring points, which typically happens from the perimeter areas of the court with three-point and mid-range shots. In addition, Shooting Guards need a decent level of defense, passing, and strength attributes to be successful. With all of that in mind, here is the NBA 2K24 best shooting guard build for you to rock the courts with!

This Shooting Guard build will help you score more points, making you a great two-way three-point shot creator. This build makes you effective when shooting at the three-point line and inside the line but outside the key. You’ll also have a decently high level of driving layup, ball handling, speed, stamina, and acceleration. We’ve also included Takeovers for both Next Gen and Current Gen platforms.
Here are the stats you need during the Custom Template screen:
- Height: 6’6″
- Weight: 200 lbs
- Wingspan: 6’10”
- Body Shape: Built
Here are the critical Attributes, broken down by category, for the best Shooting Guard build:

Your platform will determine your choice for Takeovers, but we have provided both:

This is the best NBA 2K24 Shooting Guard build, but don’t feel like you are locked into it completely. You do have some wiggle room if you feel like experimenting with your Attribute points a bit, but remember it is essential that you keep the key Attributes high enough. Otherwise, you won’t be an effective Shooting Guard. In addition, if you raise or lower your character’s height it will change the build a bit.
