Summary of "BEST SHOOTING GUARDS TIER LIST! NBA 2K26 MyTEAM"

Storyline / Purpose

The video is a ranking (tier list) of the best Shooting Guards in NBA 2K26 MyTEAM, focusing primarily on Dark Matter and higher cards.
The host (“Ty”) evaluates each player based on in-game performance factors like:
- Release quality
- Dribble / escape animations
- Dunking / finishing
- Size / usage
- Overall value vs. cost

Shot release quality (especially whether it feels reliable and usable)
Escapes / signature animations (with emphasis that some cards were “nerfed” / changed, hurting performance and value)
Defense & length (particularly for undersized but elite defenders like AK / Kawhi / OG)
Athletic finishing (dunking ability called out for players like Wiggins)
Cost / value in MyTEAM
- Even when cards are S-tier in performance, they can be downgraded due to price

Condensed placements as presented by the host. (“S-tier” = elite, “A-tier” = very strong, etc.)

Andrei Kirilenko (AK) — S-tier performance; host says it’s not worth the price
Scottie Pippen — S-tier due to elite all-around value for users who paid for him
Yaxel Lendeborg — still viewed as S-tier (great release, longevity); framed as better value than spending on packs
Toni Kukoc — host calls him probably the best SG in the game, but massively expensive
Invincible Kawhi Leonard — A-tier in the host’s text, but described as “insanely good”; emphasized despite being undersized (6’7”)

Note: The host explicitly says Kawhi is A-tier, while other players listed above are treated as true S-tier picks in the narration.

Grant Hill — “extremely good,” but usually A-tier due to cost (verging on S)
Paul George (100 & Dark Matter versions) — A-tier both times
Jaden McDaniels — A-tier
Danny Granger — A-tier (host feels he should be better given his build)
OG Anunoby — A-tier
Ron Artest — low A (still considered better than Carmelo, per the host)
T-Mac — low S suggested; not fully crowned S, but treated as near-elite

The host repeatedly frames Granger / OG / McDaniels / PG as an “A-tier core” after reevaluating releases and escapes.

Franz Wagner — host likes him a lot; considered for higher but ends B-tier
Andrew Wiggins — B-tier
Michael Finley — B-tier; host questions whether they’re “gassing” him
Klay Thompson — B-tier (host says 6’6 prevents A-tier)
Peja — mostly low A (narration is a bit inconsistent; overall conclusion favors A / low A)
Ricky Davis — upper B
Brandon Miller — upper B
Gordon Hayward — B-tier
Joe Johnson — B-tier (fine but not great)
Trey Murphy — upper C / possibly low B (host leans low B after noting good results)
Nick Young (Swaggy P) — low B
Kevin Martin — C-tier (included mainly for contrast)

Shane Battier — C-tier
Jamal Mashburn — C-tier
Terrence Ross — C-tier
Zaza Pachulia — C-tier
DeMar DeRozan (100 ovr) — C-tier (host says they’re always low on him)
Stephen Jackson — C-tier
Gerald Wallace — C-tier
Kyle Kuzma — listed here as B-tier (later repeated in context of “troll sigs,” but mentioned in the discussion near C-tier)
Ace Bailey — C-tier (release is “troll”)
James Jones — low C
Sasha Pavlovic — C-tier
Jamario Moon — C-tier
RJ Barrett — C-tier
Payton Watson — C-tier
Kyle Kuzma — B-tier (listed again because the discussion contrasts “troll sigs”)

Note: Toni Kukoc is explicitly not C-tier since he’s already listed above in S-tier.

Jaylen Rose — D-tier (host places him here; not unusable, just not good)

Pairing Franz Wagner with Jalen Suggs
- Host says it can make Wagner “slightly better.”
Square shooting with AK
- Host highlights that if you shoot with square, you’ll like AK’s release.
Value vs. spending
- The host repeatedly notes that some “elite” cards aren’t worth it if you care about cost efficiency (examples: Grant Hill, Pippen, Kukoc, AK).
- Mentions that “spending $100 on a card” (instead of buying packs) can be better value (in context of Lendeborg).
Release / escape changes matter
- Host claims 2K changed Paul George escape earlier, and later says Brandon Ingram suffers similarly (escape change makes Ingram worse).
- Complains about Korver: release / upper was changed into a “troll” version even though Korver was already good.
