NBA 2K22 has been out for about five weeks, and unlike in the case of our best Next Gen guard build, it seems as though the meta has remained pretty consistent as it has been in past years on Current Gen.

With shades of Kyrie Irving, Stephen Curry and Mike Bibby said to be recognized in this build, it's one that is sure to be well worth the investment in both VC and in-game time to grind out. For those looking for a do-it-all archetype that will be able to get the job done in both 3v3 and 5v5 games, here is how to make the best guard build in NBA 2K22 Current Gen.
