Ranking the Best Point Guards in NBA 2K26 MyTeam: Tier List (S to D)

Jan-23-2026 PST
Point guard remains one of the most influential positions in NBA 2K26 MyTeam, and this year’s selection is deeper than ever. With dozens of usable options, new drops every week, and rapid power creep, determining which guards are actually worth running can be challenging. In this comprehensive tier list, we break down 56 point guards, analyzing their strengths, weaknesses, and overall viability in the current meta.

 

This ranking evaluates movement packages, slashing ability, defensive versatility, size, animations, jump shot quality, and overall value relative to other point guards. While some cards are elite on release, others age quickly as better options emerge.

 

Below is the definitive ranking of the best point guards in NBA 2K26 MyTeam.

 

S Tier – Elite, Top-Tier Point Guards

 

These guards are the best of the best—players who combine meta-defining movement, elite slashing, consistent shooting, and high-end defensive impact.

 

LaMelo Ball

Still one of the premier point guards, LaMelo brings elite playmaking, top-tier sigs, and a smooth release. His scarcity makes him uncommon, but his performance is undeniable.

 

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (Opal/Pink Diamond)

Both versions of SGA are elite. With size, defensive impact, shot creation, and top-tier animations, he remains one of the most complete PGs available.

 

Nikola Jokić (PG Version)

His size breaks matchups and makes him unique. Although not an elite shot-creator, his physical profile provides defensive switchability and mismatch creation that no other point guard can replicate.

 

Russell Westbrook (Dark Matter)

One of the most explosive guards in the game. Elite finishing, elite defense, and top-tier animations make Russ a meta staple.

 

Dyson Daniels

A 6'7 point guard with elite defense, smooth shooting, and versatility. A better version of Anthony Black, and one of the strongest two-way options in the game.

 

Hoodie Melo

The best point guard in NBA 2K26. At 6'7 with 99s across the board and elite sigs (including Kobe escape), Hoodie Melo is the complete package: dominant offense, lockdown defense, and unmatched badges.

 

A Tier – Strong, Competitive Options

 

These guards are highly effective and viable in competitive play, but fall just short of the top tier due to small weaknesses or slightly outdated animations.

 

Dylan Harper

Smooth offense and a strong all-around game. Defense can be hit or miss, but he’s still incredibly strong.

 

Zach LaVine

Excellent offensively, but dropped from S tier due to multiple newer high-end releases. Still an elite scorer and a reliable option.

 

Naji Marshall (Alexander-Walker)

A well-rounded 6'5 PG with strong defense and balanced offense. Doesn’t dominate in any single area, but has no major weaknesses.

 

Lonzo Ball

Another jack-of-all-trades PG. Never elite in one category, but consistently strong across all categories.

 

Dejounte Murray

Curry's escape, solid defense, and reliable finishing land him at the bottom of the A tier.

 

Russell Westbrook (Pink Diamond)

Great slasher, strong defender, and smooth release. Not as dominant as his Dark Matter, but still legitimately good.

 

John Wall

Effectively, a slightly different version of Pink Diamond Russ. Elite movement, great offense, and strong enough defense.

 

Ron Harper

A 6'6 defensive anchor with a smooth jumper and a Paul George escape. Offense isn’t elite, but the defensive presence pushes him into the A tier.

 

Anthony Black

A borderline S-tier guard with size (6'7), defense, great finishing, and a smooth jumper. A top A-tier lock.

 

Devin Booker (PG Version)

Previously top two at launch, still very competitive. Excellent release, strong movement, and a top-tier scoring package.

 

Oscar Robertson

Well-rounded with great size (6'5), solid movement, and consistent shooting. A high-floor point guard with no glaring weaknesses.

 

Ayo Dosunmu

Arguably the best value PG in the game. Smooth release, good finishing, competitive defense, and excellent movement at an amethyst tier.

 

B Tier – Solid but Limited

 

These point guards are viable and fun to use, but have noticeable limitations—defense, size, shot creation, or outdated sigs.

 

John Morant

A fun card with elite slashing and quick movement, but it lacks defensive presence.

 

Gilbert Arenas

Strong release and decent size, but doesn’t stand out defensively or as a consistent shot creator.

 

Jason Kidd

Dependable defender with limited offense. Firmly a role-player tier.

 

Russell Westbrook (older versions)

Still usable due to athleticism, but overshadowed by better releases.

 

Dante Exum

Good jumper and movement, but lacks elite slashing and defensive badges.

 

Luka Dončić

Big, but not elite defensively. Jumper and movement feel inconsistent.

 

Derrick White

Good defense, smooth jumper, but lacks slashing and offensive versatility.

 

Stefan Castle

Solid defender and finisher, but not a major shot-creation threat.

 

Ray Allen

Good defender, good slasher, but his jumper—while fine—is not as meta as expected.

 

Magic Johnson

Huge, but extremely mid movement and shooting limit his upside.

 

Gary Payton & Jrue Holiday

Strong defenders with serviceable offense. Reliable, but not elite.

 

James Harden

Smooth, but lacks defensive presence and elite movement.

 

James Worthy (PG Version)

Great size and speed, but an inconsistent jumper limits offensive viability.

 

Austin Reaves

Fun offensively and usable defensively. A borderline B-tier guard depending on playstyle.

 

Jamal Murray

Good sigs and shot, but too mid defensively to rank higher.

 

Kade Cunningham

Good size and offense, but heavily nerfed badges and defensive ratings hold him back.

 

C Tier – Usable but Outclassed

 

These guards are playable but have meaningful issues with size, defense, shooting consistency, or movement packages.

 

Ja Morant (moved down), Gilbert Arenas (moved down), Damian Lillard, Steph Curry, Sidney Moncrief, Maravich, Fox, Wade, Monte Ellis, Dinwiddie, Dereck Lively, Jamal Murray (borderline), and others fit this tier.

 

They can succeed situationally, but struggle against elite defenders and taller matchups.

 

D Tier – Not Viable in the Current Meta

 

These guards suffer from poor size, weak defense, outdated animations, or simply cannot keep up with modern cards.

 

Examples:

 

· Kemba Walker

· Isaiah Thomas

· Deron Williams

· Steve Nash

· Tony Parker

· Derrick Rose

· Trey Young

· Steve Francis

 

All have serious limitations that make them liabilities against competent opponents.

 

Final Thoughts

 

NBA 2K26 MyTeam is stacked with point guards across the board, from massive matchup-breaking giants like Jokic and Dyson Daniels to elite slashers like Russ and Hoodie Melo. While the S-tier players clearly dominate the meta, there are numerous budget and mid-tier options capable of competing at a high level depending on your playstyle.

 

As more season rewards, promos, and special programs are released, the PG meta will continue to evolve—but for now, these rankings reflect the most competitive and reliable point guards available in NBA 2K26 MyTeam.
