Point Guard (PG) – The Floor General

Role & Playstyle

The Point Guard serves as the primary ball handler and offensive leader. Your main responsibility is to control the pace of the game, orchestrate plays, and create scoring opportunities for yourself and your teammates while maintaining strong decision-making under pressure.

Ideal players:

• Stephen Curry – Perfect for offense-first PGs who thrive on outside shooting
• Chris Paul – Balanced playmaker with elite passing vision and control
• Damian Lillard – Clutch shot creator with explosive scoring ability off the dribble

Controls Breakdown

• Dribble/Move: Utilize quick joystick flicks and advanced dribble moves like crossovers, spins, and hesitation dribbles to generate separation.
• Pass: Short taps enable quick passes, while holding the button allows for lead passes to fast-breaking teammates.
• Shoot: Master your release timing—especially when taking 3-pointers off the dribble. Jump shot proficiency and quick release animations are essential for effective PG play.
• Skill Button: Activates signature moves such as ankle-breaking crossovers or lightning-quick step-backs to break defenders down one-on-one.

Defense as a PG

• Steal Button: Focus on active hands—tap to intercept passes or strip the ball from opponents.
• Positioning: Stay in front of opposing guards and use lateral movement to deny driving lanes.
• Switching: Be ready to rotate quickly when defending against screens or switches to guard wings and slashers effectively.

TIP: Vision and speed are your greatest assets. Create angles, read the floor, and avoid forcing risky passes. Most turnovers by PGs come from poor judgment—not mechanical errors.

In *Dunk City Dynasty*, every role feels uniquely crafted, and the controls adapt dynamically based on your position. As a PG, you're the engine of the offense. As a Center, you’re the anchor of the defense. Knowing your lane—and mastering the mechanics tied to your role—is what separates rookies from seasoned pros.

Whether you're running the show from the top of the key or protecting the rim with elite defensive timing, understanding and refining your role is how you win games. Choose wisely, train accordingly, and perfect your control inputs to become a dominant force at your position.
