The role of shooting guard is one that isn't given the respect it deserves in the NBA, and that goes for this year's NBA 2K25 as well. While point guards are the ones who get a lot of attention and glory for being the "general" on the court, the shooting guard is an important piece that can be a real game changer. These players are there to help establish a play, cover the perimeter, and then drill a three-pointer when they have to. They are far more essential than most people would give them credit for.
