Unleash your skills as a point guard in NBA 2K23 with these top teams vying for your talent: Miami Heat, Washington Wizards, San Antonio Spurs, Minnesota Timberwolves, and Boston Celtics Who will be the perfect match for your court dominance?
Finding a skilled team to play as a point guard is once again a challenging task. Without a doubt, there are a handful of teams in NBA 2K23 that lack talented point guards, allowing players to secure starting positions relatively quickly. While this has been a persistent issue, it is somewhat alleviated by the presence of alternative choices this time around.
However, the primary concern lies in the fact that teams struggling in the point guard position tend to encounter difficulties in other areas as well. It can be likened to an NFL team with a subpar quarterback. Undoubtedly, there are positions that offer easier options for players to find a suitable role. Nonetheless, for those who possess a genuine passion for the point guard position, these select teams represent the most favorable destinations in NBA 2K23.

Miami Heat
Position | Starter | Rating |
PG | Kyle Lowry | 77 |
SG | Tyler Herro | 84 |
SF | Jimmy Butler | 93 |
PF | Caleb Martin | 76 |
C | Bam Adebayo | 87 |

The Miami Heat's one weakness, apart from the point guard position, lies at power forward. While Martin is undeniably terrible, Adebayo consistently provides support under the rim. It won't take long for him to secure a spot in the starting lineup. It's worth noting that Lowry, their current starting point guard, not only has the lowest rating in the game but also lost his starting position at some point during the season.
Apart from Martin, the other three players - Herro, Butler, and Adebayo - are exceptional and capable of making big scores. With a few additional elite playmaking badges, this team has the potential to reach the top. They don't require much more to become contenders, as the MyPlayer alone is more than sufficient to win a championship in the first year.
Washington Wizards
Position | Starter | Rating |
PG | Monte Morris | 79 |
SG | Bradley Beal | 87 |
SF | Kyle Kuzma | 83 |
PF | Kristaps Porzingis | 87 |
C | Daniel Gafford | 77 |
Currently, there is no team with a point guard rating below 80 while all other players on the team have ratings above 80. Out of all the teams, only two have just one additional player with a rating below 80 after the point guard is replaced. The Washington Wizards happen to be one of those teams.
San Antonio Spurs
As we delve into the realm of elite centers, Gafford's performance at the center position becomes a significant concern. Nonetheless, beyond this limitation, the team exhibits commendable strength. Enhance your arsenal with impressive shooting badges and take calculated risks, as Kristaps Porzingis stands ready underneath the rim to provide support for any missed shots. The advantage lies in Gafford's deficiency near the rim, enabling gamers to unleash their point guard's prowess in grabbing rebounds.
Position | Starter | Rating |
PG | Tre Jones | 79 |
SG | Malaki Branham | 76 |
SF | Keldon Johnson | 83 |
PF | Jeremy Sochan | 78 |
C | Zach Collins | 80 |
First, let's deliver the bad news: according to the ratings, the Spurs are among the weakest teams in NBA 2K23. None of the starters have a rating above 83, and only one of them surpasses 80. However, there is a silver lining - taking on the starting role should be a breeze as Tre Jones poses no threat. Create the perfect custom jump shot and get ready to become the team's sole scorer.
For a point guard seeking glory, this is the ideal team to shine with. None of your teammates will challenge you for rebounds, assists, scoring, or defense, as it's all up to you, the MyPlayer. Want to fill up the stat sheet and be the solitary star on the roster? Look no further than the San Antonio Spurs.
Minnesota Timberwolves
Position | Starter | Rating |
PG | Mike Conley | 80 |
SG | Anthony Edwards | 86 |
SF | Jaden McDaniels | 79 |
PF | Karl-Anthony Towns | 86 |
C | Rudy Gobert | 84 |
Apart from the point guard position, the Timberwolves' only area of concern lies with McDaniels at small forward. However, his performance is not significantly detrimental and can be adequately addressed. One of the most appealing aspects of Minnesota as a favorable career destination is the formidable presence of the two dominant big men, Towns and Gobert, who effectively control the interior.
Computer-controlled teammates are usually ineffective when defending near the basket, necessitating the player's intervention as a guard. However, this scenario is different. In this case, players can readily utilize the most effective defensive badges to successfully neutralize opposing guards at the perimeter, allowing them to exclusively focus on this aspect of the game.
Boston Celtics
Position | Starter | Rating |
PG | Marcus Smart | 82 |
SG | Jaylen Brown | 90 |
SF | Jayson Tatum | 95 |
PF | Al Horford | 80 |
C | Robert Williams III | 83 |
Only four teams currently have a starting point guard rated at 80 or lower, which have already been listed. For any other team, it will require extra days of work to secure the starting job. Hence, it is crucial to choose a talented crew that justifies the effort. The Celtics, renowned contenders in the Finals, fit this description perfectly.
With two players rated 90 or above and every position having a minimum rating of 80, Boston possesses a strong team. However, acquiring an elite point guard would greatly enhance their chances of clinching the championship title they aspire for. The two big men on the team are not highly rated, so it might be wise to consider creating a slasher and obtaining some exceptional finishing badges.
NBA 2K23 is available now for PC, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, and Nintendo Switch.
