NBA 2K22 Best Shooting Guards Tier List (December 2024)

The shooting guard position requires far more than outside shooting

The shooting guard (or the off guard) is generally considered to be the team’s best perimeter shooter and top scoring option. In NBA 2K22, they are tasked with knocking down both open and contested shots at a high rate, while also playing reliable defense on the other end. Not only that, but they also tend to be the team’s secondary ball-handler.
