With the VC cost of leveling up your player only getting more significant each year, not using one of the best builds in NBA 2K25 could force you to start over late in MyCAREER. Your favorite badge or jumpshot might not be available, and once a build is locked in there's no changing that. We've outlined five of the best point guard builds in NBA 2K25, and each one provides its own unique set of strengths and weaknesses.
Best Point Guard Builds in NBA 2K25
If you're a newer player or still getting a feel for gameplay in NBA 2K25, be careful not to invest too much time (or money) into MyCAREER until you know how you prefer to play. While you'll have the chance to test each build before using it, unsure players should first spend time in Learn2K, MyNBA, or Play Now.
You can try a variety of moves and experience multiple positions in those modes which should help players discover their preferred playstyle. If you ultimately settle on point guard as your position, that usually sets you up as the best dribbler and passer on a team with some defensive focus. Good shooting can't hurt, especially with one of the best jumpshots in NBA 2K25, and in many cases it's an important asset if you're in MyCAREER spending time at The Park or other non-NBA courts.
Here, we've gathered five of the best point guard builds in NBA 2K25 gathered from some of the top YouTube creators that have been testing and discovering new builds for weeks. You can always make some tweaks, but make sure to check that your preferred animations and badges will be available for your final build. If you're none of these feel right, check out our overall best builds in NBA 2K25 guide to see if something at a different position stands out.
