NBA 2K23, the latest installment of the National Basketball Association series, will be released soon in four editions.

Players will now be able to select their favourite basketball players from the likes of LeBron James and James Harden.

However, each player's performance in the game is determined by their ratings, as gamers prefer the highest ranked players.

So, when NBA 2K23 is released in September, what will some of the player ratings look like, particularly for Shooting Guards? GiveMeSport has predicted the top five shooting guards in NBA 2K23.

Top Five Predicted Shooting Guards in NBA 2K23

NBA 2K23 predicted shooting guards

When you think of football players like Andres Iniesta or Xavi orchestrators, the position of a shooting guard comes to mind.

A shooting guard, like any other position, is the one who transitions between offence and defence, so when the team is done, you are the one conjuring things up, essentially the N’Golo Kante position in football terms.

So, without further ado, here are our unofficial but predicted top five shooting guards in NBA 2K23.

5. Zach LaVine

NBA 2K 23

GiveMeSport predicts Zach LaVine to come in at number five. The Bulls guard has developed his shooting and playmaking skills over time and has evolved into an elite guard.

The combination of his explosiveness, verticality, and finishing at the rim makes him a legitimate threat to opposing defences.


4.Paul George

Paul George #13 of the Los Angeles Clippers reacts after making a three point basket in the first half against the Chicago Bulls at United Center on March 31, 2022

Los Angeles' 32-year-old guard is still a two-way player who can play defence, shoot threes, and score from the mid-range.

GiveMeSport predicts that George will finish at number four due to his versatility and well-rounded game.


3.Bradley Beal

NBA 2K 23 Bradley Beal

The third player on the list is Bradley Beal, who has quietly been one of the NBA's best shooting guards over the last few years.

In addition to his midrange scoring and slashing skills, the Washington guard is a player that would surely make an impact in the game if he makes the official NBA 2K23 rating list.


2.Devin Booker

Devin Booker #1 of the Phoenix Suns shoots the ball against Dwight Powell #7 of the Dallas Mavericks in the second quarter of Game Six of the 2022

We are almost there, predicted to be the second highest shooting guard in NBA 2K 23 is one of the NBA's top shooters, Devin Booker who was also named as the 2K23 cover athlete.

1.Klay Thompson

 Klay Thompson #11 of the Golden State Warriors celebrates a three pointer against the Boston Celtics during the first quarter in Game Six of the 2022 NBA Finals

Klay Thompson ranks first amongst the predicted NBA 2K23 shooting guards by GiveMeSport. Klay Thompson is not one half of the Splash Brothers but also an excellent catcher and shooter, making him a viable scoring option for players who prefer to run and shoot.

That concludes GiveMeSport's predictions for the shooting guard position in NBA 2K23. Although these predictions are not set in stone, we can certainly expect one or two names to appear on the list when the game is released later this year.
