The goal of the shooting guard, because as the name suggests, is the point, and the defense steals the ball. For your shooting guard build in the NBA 2K20, you must focus on your character's shooting and dunking abilities, as well as their speed. The guide includes all the tips for shooting guard build in NBA 2K20.

Skills/Physical

Physical Profile

Choose the pie chart that has an overall even flow for the Physical Profile. This will grant you good agility and vertical, and great strength. Your high strength will make it easier for you to get past guards and dunk.

Attributes

Using your attribute points efficiently can be a bit tricky. First and foremost, you must remember to use them efficiently to maximize your badge gain.

Set Your Potential 

Finishing: Close Shot - 70, Driving Layup - 50, Driving Dunk - 25, Standing Dunk - 26, Post Hook - 30

In the Finishing category, get Close Shot, Driving Layup, Driving Dun maxed out. You should also allocate some points to Standing Dunk.

Shooting: Mid-Range Shot - 93, Three-Point Shot - 93, Free Throw - 92, Post Fade - 95

As this build is a Shooting Guard, just max out everything in the shooting category.

Playmaking: Pass Accuracy - 81, Ball Handle - 67, Post Moves - 75

In the Playmaking Category, max out Ball Handling and Post Moves. Also, give some points to Pass Accuracy.

Defense/Rebounding: Interior Defense - 58, Perimeter Defense - 68, Lateral Quickness - 67, Steal - 69, Block - 71, Offensive Rebound - 30, Defensive Rebound - 71


Finally, in the Defense Category, allocate a lot of points to Perimeter Defense, Lateral Quickness and Steal. Then, give some points to Interior Defense. It is also a good idea to use some points for Block, so you can get more Defensive Badges.

Height – 6'5"
For the Shooting Guard build, 6'5" seems to be the best height as you retain your speed and agility, while still being big enough to go through small guards.

Weight – 196 lbs
For your Shooting Guard, you should keep your weight low to be quicker and more versatile on the court, but just low enough so that you have decent strength. 196 lbs seem to support this idea.

Wingspan – 79.9"
Keeping your wingspan at 79.9" will grant you adequate speed, coupled with decent ball control and shooting.

Tips

If you building a shooting guard, you can try to boost 3-point shooting attributes, as well as quickness to get open. From there, you can build attributes in other areas. Height, weight, and wingspan can play a major role in deciding your player's strengths.  Shooting guards tend to be, on average, around 6'5", approximately 196 lbs, and 79.9" wingspan. Look to shorten the height by a tiny bit, as well as draw in the wingspan. However, up the weight in case you need to break away or push someone out of a possible contact dunk. Upping the weight will also help to increase your strength battles in both offense and defense.
