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.
As a result of them having so much responsibility, the shooting guard you choose to bolster your lineup could be the difference between you having a winning or losing season. Luckily, we’ve created this NBA 2K22 tier list ranking all of the best shooting guard in the game.
