There has been a peculiar development over the course of the past ten years in the National Basketball Association (NBA) in which point guards like Stephen Curry and Damian Lillard have been operating in a space in which they serve as a hybrid of a point guard and a shooting guard. This designates them as the primary player responsible for handling the ball and the primary contributor to the team's scoring.

However, this does not imply that the National Basketball Association (NBA) or the content game series NBA 2K do not feature traditional point guards who are excellent passers and who set up their teammates for success. The point guard play in NBA 2K23 is strong, as it is in every other year, and it ranges from superstars like Stephen Curry, who was just mentioned, to rising stars at the point guard position like LaMelo Ball of the Charlotte Hornets.

Jerrad Wyche was the one who last updated this on January 25, 2023. The National Football League season is drawing to a close, which means that attention in the sports world is shifting to the hardwood. The world of professional basketball sees the development of a plethora of plotlines on an annual basis. Much like the action on the court, these plotlines frequently center on the primary ballhandlers who typically play the point guard position.

Fans are speculating whether Luka Doncic will become the next great player in the NBA and whether Trae Young will continue to play for the Atlanta Hawks. The standing continues to improve with each passing year, and NBA 2K23 does its best to capture this progression in the game's gameplay.

Tyrese Maxey (86)
It seems that every year a small number of NBA players suddenly burst onto the scene and begin to be mentioned in the same breath as burgeoning superstars. The Philadelphia 76ers, led by point guard Tyrese Maxey, have been brought to the attention of NBA 2K23's developers for having this problem.

It is clear that he is a legitimate third option for the team behind superstars Joel Embiid and James Harden based on the 21 points that he is averaging per game this season. Although he has left a clear imprint for the team during the playoffs in the past. It is possible that in the years to come, Maxey will develop into his own version of a superstar and, hopefully, will be able to assist Embiid in the second half of his career in bringing an NBA title to the city of Philadelphia.

De'Aaron Fox (86)
De'Aaron Fox is a player who hasn't seen a whole lot of team success in the NBA. This is primarily because he ended up on the Sacramento Kings, a team that has been unable to roster a competitive team since George W. Bush was in office as president. As a result, De'Aaron Fox hasn't had much of an opportunity to contribute to the success of his team. This year, however, things are different because they are currently in the middle of the pack in the Western Conference standings when considering the various outcomes of the NBA Playoffs.

The 23 points that Fox averages per game might not seem like a lot, but the fact that he is leading his team and helping to facilitate a unit that has produced the most optimism for the Kings fan base that the league has seen in the past two decades is a testament to Fox's leadership. Fox believes that every player should have the opportunity to experience what it is like to participate in the NBA Playoffs, and he is doing everything in his power to make this a reality. This includes achieving an overall score of 86 in NBA 2K23.

Darius Garland (86)
Darius Garland made his first appearance on an NBA All-Star team in 2021, and the following year he will attempt to achieve the same level of success by making it again. The recent acquisition of Donovan Mitchell from the Utah Jazz by the Cleveland Cavaliers will relieve some of the scoring pressure that was previously placed on the shoulders of the point guard for the Cleveland Cavaliers.

He will be able to start the season with the goal of efficiently directing the play for the team from the point guard position. It is uncertain whether or not Garland will have a string of seasons that are on par with those of an All-Star, but for the time being his overall score of 87 in NBA 2K23 was more than earned as the Cavaliers surprised the league with their growth during the previous season.

Chris Paul, number 87
As Chris Paul ages, his fans are beginning to wonder whether or not the future Hall of Famer will ever have the opportunity to compete for and win a championship. His leadership and toughness have never been questioned, but it is obvious that he is becoming less effective with each passing year. Time is unkind to all men, and it is clear that he is losing a step with each passing year.

Even though Devin Booker may be the face of the Phoenix Suns franchise, the addition of Chris Paul has helped the team mature into a culture that prizes winning and strives for excellence. Although Chris Paul's overall rating in NBA 2K23 of 87 is not the highest it has ever been, it is more than respectable for a player who is destined to be remembered as one of the greatest point guards in the history of the game.

LaMelo Ball (87)
LaMelo Ball has emerged as the undeniable superstar of the group despite the fact that one of his brothers is battling an injury and the other is working hard to get into the NBA. It was unknown how he would develop for the Charlotte Hornets, but he has turned out to be just as good as he was advertised to be.

The second year leap is one that NBA talent evaluators talk about being pivotal in a player's growth, and in Ball's second year, he posted 20 points, 7.5 assists, and nearly 7 rebounds per game.  In his first year in the NBA, he averaged 20 points, 7.5 assists, and nearly 7 rebounds per game. His overall score of 87 in NBA 2K23 may be the beginning of what has the potential to be an outstanding career as one of the NBA's most creative and entertaining point guards. The Hornets are going to be responsible for constructing a roster that is competitive around their star ball distributor.
