Discover a powerful Shooting Guard Build for NBA 2K26 that maximizes dunking, shooting, and defense with strategic stat allocation.
Creating an ideal build in MyPlayer is a complex but highly rewarding task in NBA 2K26, especially for versatile positions like the Shooting Guard. The Shooting Guard position’s primary strength is usually perimeter shooting, but the build can power a dunk-oriented playstyle or create a larger version of the Point Guard. This year’s meta emphasizes versatility, and the Shooting Guard position shines when it can dominate on both ends of the court.
The following Shooting Guard build will let you slash to the rim with power, sink consistent mid-range and three-point shots, and still clamp down on opposing guards with strong perimeter defense.

Body Stats, Driving Dunk, Mid-Range Shot, and Perimeter Defense are the most important stats for the Shooting Guard build. Use a Cap Breaker on Mid-Range Shot to increase it from 92 to 93. Doing so will unlock the Set Shot Specialist Badge on the Hall of Fame, which you can upgrade to the Legend tier.
Having Driving Dunk at 89 unlocks crucial contact animations, and the Standing Dunk stat at 49 allows you to nail under-basket dunks when needed. While the build isn’t ideal for steals, the Immovable Enforcer makes up for the relatively low Strength in Physicals.
