Point Guard (PG) – The Floor General

Role & Playstyle

Controls Breakdown

Dribble/Move: Use quick stick moves and special dribbles like crossovers, spins, and hesitations to create separation.Pass: Quick taps for fast passes; hold longer for lead passes to moving teammates.Shoot: Master release timing, especially for off-the-dribble threes. Point Guards benefit from jump shot skills and quick release windows.Skill Button: Often triggers ankle-breaking moves or quick step-backs.

Defense as a PG

Steal Button: Rely on steals rather than blocks—tap to intercept passes or poke the ball free.Positioning: Stay in front of the opposing point guard to stop drives. Use lateral quickness to cut off angles.Switching: PGs must rotate quickly when opponents switch to wings or drivers.

Pro Tip: Focus on court vision and speed. Create passing lanes instead of forcing the ball—most PG turnovers come from poor decisions, not bad mechanics.
