It’s no secret that to run a successful franchise in NBA 2K22, you need to have a reliable point guard at the helm. As the floor general, this player is responsible for advancing the ball up the court and initiating the offense, with the ultimate goal of setting their teammates up for open shots and easy looks. As a result, the point guard is widely regarded as the most important position in basketball.
The issue is that there are various types of point guards in the NBA. Some excel shooting the ball and scoring, while others have better vision and a higher basketball IQ, which generally makes them more effective facilitators and defenders.
