The variety of shooting guards in the NBA and NBA 2K24 allows for a great deal of player choice. It's possible to build a top-tier slasher, playmaker, three-point specialist, or defensive juggernaut at this position. Different teams have different needs and every gamer will have altered preferences.
But there is a build for shooting guards in NBA 2K24 that allows for incredible effectiveness on both ends of the court. It's not possible to make a shooting guard that excels at everything but by choosing a few specialties, opponents can't stop the shooting guard from scoring and can't score against the shooting guard either.

The 99 in Three-Point Shooting is a dead giveaway for what this build is intended to do. When combined with a 93 in Acceleration, this yields a Hall of Fame Spot Finder badge. On the right team for a shooting guard, players will be happy to set these screens since it virtually guarantees a long-range bucket. Don't dribble the ball, simply get open and request a pass. If the defender closes out in time, pass the ball away.
Another strength of this build is the playmaking. A shooting guard is still a guard that needs to pass well. With a 91 in Pass Accuracy, the Hall of Fame Special Delivery badge moves the pass around with the fastest animation possible. Because this build will be getting double-teamed often, rack up assists by hitting the open man. This build is better at passing and scoring than even the best shooting guards in the game.
On the defensive end, this build is at its best, especially against other shooting guards. Silver Clamps is a good start and there are a slew of other gold badges that will help out, including all three badges that pertain to stealing. Shooting guards don't have the handles that point guards have, so make sure to swipe a few balls in every game.
