Shooting Guards are often disrespected in MyTeam, given less focus despite their massive impact on each game. Here is our list of the best shooting guards in NBA 2K22:
- Dark Matter Giannis Antetokounmpo: Giannis at the 2 is interesting, but he has the stats and badges to top this list. He’s a lockdown defender no opposing PG’s and great on offense, too.
- Dark Matter Paul George: PG13 is his usual 99 overall card at this stage of the game, where he can do everything at a top tier level. He’s not as tall as Giannis, but he is otherwise a perfect SG.
- Dark Matter Cedric Maxwell: His status as an expensive lock-in hurts his value a little bit, but Maxwell is amazing. Jump Shot 3, great badges, and great dribbling moves make him a top tier 2 guard.
- Galaxy Opal Klay Thompson: A souped-up version of real-life Klay with 8 HOF Shooting badges and 7 HOF Defensive badges. The best 3-and-D player in the game.
- Galaxy Opal Grant Hill: Hill is an insane dunker, dribbler, and defender, but he lacks the shooting needed to be #1. He’s expensive, but if you rim run with your SG, Hill is probably your best bet.
The Best Budget Shooting Guards
Sub-25K MT: Diamond James Harden. Harden may seem a bit outdated for some people, but he’s still one of the best combinations of a top tier shooter, playmaker, and defender at this price range.
Sub-10K MT: Diamond Victor Oladipo. He’s a great shooter, defender, and dunker for just under that 10K MT mark, and has a crazy wingspan for a player his size. Must cop for budget teams.
Sub-2K MT: Amethyst Danny Green. You don’t even need to spend MT on him because he’s a token reward. Just 15 tokens gets you an affordable 3-and-D wing.

Where would you have Iverson on the list. Is he just too small to be better than the others?

Pretty much. He has all the badges and stats but he’s just a bit too small to be competitive in most modes.
