Point Guard (PG) – The Floor General

Role & Playstyle

As the Point Guard, you're the team's primary ball handler and the architect of plays. Your role involves controlling the game's pace, distributing the ball effectively, and setting up scoring opportunities for your teammates while also being capable of attacking when the situation demands it.

Ideal players for this position include:

• Stephen Curry – for Point Guards focused on offensive prowess
• Chris Paul – for a balanced approach to passing and control
• Damian Lillard – for clutch shot creation and game-changing moments

Controls Breakdown

Dribble/Move: Master quick joystick flicks and utilize special moves like crossovers, spins, and hesitation dribbles to create space from defenders.
Pass: Quick taps enable rapid ball movement, while long holds facilitate lead passes that set up your teammates for success.
Shoot: Perfect the timing of your release, especially for three-pointers off the dribble. Point Guards thrive with sharp jump shot skills and the ability to exploit quick release windows.
Skill Button: Often triggers ankle-breaker skills or fast step-backs, allowing you to shake off defenders and create scoring opportunities.

Defense as a PG

Steal Button: Focus more on steals than blocks. Use timely taps to intercept passes or poke the ball away from opponents.
Positioning: Keep yourself in front of opposing Point Guards to thwart their drives. Utilize lateral movement to cut off their angles effectively.
Switching: Be ready to rotate quickly when opponents switch to wings or slashers, maintaining your defensive stance.
Tip: Prioritize vision and speed. Create optimal angles for passing, and avoid forcing plays. Most turnovers by Point Guards stem from poor judgment rather than flawed mechanics.

Each role in Dunk City Dynasty is designed to feel distinct, with controls tailored specifically to your position. As a Point Guard, you're tasked with dictating the game's tempo.
