In NBA 2K26, the team that dictates the tempo of the game has the upper hand. For either team in the court, the one who sets the pace, controls the rhythm of the team game, and orchestrates the approach is known as the point guard.

While there are quite a few dynamic playmakers in this year's edition, some PGs are simply superior to the others, thanks to their high stats. In this post, we will talk about the best point guards in NBA 2K26 along with their stats.

Ranking Factors

Before we take a deep dive into the best point guards in NBA 2K26, let us take a look at the ranking factors we have considered for our list:

Overall Rating: The OVR of a PG is arguably the easiest and direct reflection of a player's effectiveness across all departments. These OVRs consist of the core stats of every point guard. The higher the OVR, the better the PG is in the game.
Playmaking: Ball handling and orchestrating the play are the core duties of a PG. Along with passing accuracy and vision, these two traits determine how well a PG can set the tempo of the game for his team.
Outside Scoring: While dunking boosts morale, when you really want to be technical, three points are always superior. In this age, a PG who can shoot a pointer like a machine is a liability. In addition to overall rating and playmaking, we have also considered outside scoring for our ranking of the best point guards in NBA 2K26.
Athleticism: Stamina and speed pretty much demonstrate a PG's explosiveness from both inside and outside. In addition to the core skills, athleticism is also considered for our ranking.
Defending: Last but certainly not least, defending is also taken into consideration while we made the NBA 2K26 best PGs list. On-ball defense and steals are just as important as offensive duties in a match.
