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effective and viable in competitive play, but fall just short of the top tier due to small weaknesses or slightly outdated animations.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