NBA 2K25 MyTeam has some mighty shooting guards right now, and choosing the right one for your squad can make a huge difference. In this article, we will go over 30 of the best shooting guards currently available in the game, looking at their strengths, weaknesses, and how they perform in casual and competitive MyTeam settings.
We'll also mention which ones stand out as top-tier picks and which might be a bit overrated. As always, let us know in the comments what shooting guards you're using and if you'd change anything about this ranking.
Julius Erving (Dark Matter and Pink Diamond)
Dr. J is still a really strong shooting guard. He has solid animations, a good jump shot, and great slashing ability. However, there are a few reasons why he's just shy of being a top-five SG. His jumper could be faster (ideally on quick or very quick timing), and he's lacking high-tier dribble moves—no elite size-up or dribble style.
Still, both versions of Dr. J (Dark Matter and Pink Diamond) are excellent choices. They're not quite in that top S-tier for the very best five shooting guards, but they're right below in the A-tier range.
Andrew Wiggins (Dark Matter)
Wiggins brings a very specific skill set to the table. He's a defensive powerhouse and an elite slasher with a 6'8" frame and a 7-foot wingspan. However, he's held back by average offensive animations. His jump shot is just okay, and his dribble moves are limited.
If you need a lock-down defender and finisher, Wiggins is great. But as an overall balanced SG, he doesn't quite hold up against more complete cards, so he fits best in the B-tier.
Nick Young (Galaxy Opal)
Nick Young is one of the most fun and flashy offensive shooting guards in MyTeam right now. He has a crazy good jump shot—Cameron Thomas base on very quick—and some decent dribble sigs like Curry size-up and Kemba escape. Offensively, he can torch people.
Defensively, though? He's a major liability. If he had better defensive stats and badges, he could be S-tier material. But because of the glaring weaknesses on D, he sits firmly in the A-tier.
Kawhi Leonard (Dark Matter)
Kawhi is one of the few shooting guards that belongs in the S-tier. He's elite on both ends of the court. With a 6'7” height and an insane 7'3” wingspan, he locks down opposing guards and wings easily. His jump shot might not be quite as smooth as Dr. J's, but it's still solid.
What separates Kawhi is his elite defensive badges and near-perfect stats, he surprisingly moves well for a card his size. He's one of the most reliable two-way players in the game.
George Gervin (Dark Matter)
George Gervin is kind of in a weird spot. He's well-rounded and smooth, but not elite in any one category. He has a good release and decent dribble sigs—especially the Garland behind-the-back—but there's nothing that screams “must-have.”
He's not as flashy or dominant as some of the other top guards, so he's somewhere between high B-tier and low A-tier. A solid pickup, but not a game-changer.
Robert Covington (Pink Diamond)
“Roko” is still hanging around as one of the better-budget defensive wings. He's 6'9” with a 7'2” wingspan, which makes him a massive presence at SG. Defensively, he's elite for a pink diamond. Offensively, not so much—average dribble moves and a serviceable jumper.
Some may argue he's C-tier, but he plays bigger than that. Given his defensive value, he holds his spot in the B-tier alongside players like Paul George and Scottie Pippen.
Paul George (Galaxy Opal)
PG is very close to being elite, and once his Dark Matter card drops, he could be in the conversation for the best SG in the game. Right now, though, his Opal version is strong but not unstoppable. Great animations, solid size, and an all-around game—but it not top-tier just yet.
Still, a very well-rounded B-tier option.
Scottie Pippen (Dark Matter)
Pippen is still a defensive monster, and while his offense has never been top-tier, it's decent enough. He offers a lot of value for players who need someone to clamp up on-ball and still hit open shots. Like PG and Roko, he fits neatly in the B-tier for now.
Brandon Roy (Dark Matter)
Brandon Roy continues to be a fan-favorite offensive threat. His jumper is quick, clean, and easy to green. His slashing is excellent, and he can create his own shot.
His biggest issue is size—6'6” but plays small in-game—and he doesn't have elite dribble animations. Still, his offensive firepower puts him securely in the A-tier.
Jaylen Williams (Galaxy Opal)
Jaylen Williams, or JDub, is one of the most underrated shooting guards in the game. He's 6'5” with a 7'2” wingspan, and his defense is surprisingly strong. His jumper is nice, and he has some decent animations, but he's not elite in terms of movement.
He's a solid card overall, but when compared directly to the likes of Dr. J or Kawhi, he falls behind. A fair C-tier placement.
Vince Carter (100 Overall)
Vince Carter is still holding strong as an S-tier SG, but barely. He's arguably a better Brandon Roy with improved defense and maxed-out stats. His dribble sigs aren't amazing, but the pro two fade and top-tier jumper make him an elite scorer.
His all-around badge layout and athleticism still allow him to be one of the best shooting guards in the game—at least for now.
Kevin Durant (100 Overall)
This might not be a surprise, but Kevin Durant is the best shooting guard in NBA 2K25 MyTeam right now. He does everything—scoring, defending, handling, fading, creating—and does it with size, length, and smoothness.
If you have this card, you don't need to look any further. KD is just flat-out broken at SG and easily ranks #1 on any list.
Final Thoughts
Right now in NBA 2K25 MyTeam, there are a ton of great shooting guards to choose from. Whether you're looking for an elite two-way presence like Kawhi Leonard, a flashy scorer like Nick Young, or a budget defensive beast like Robert Covington, there's something for every kind of lineup.
More shooting guards will surely drop soon, especially with new promos and updated Dark Matters on the way. Keep checking back for updates as the meta shifts!
