The Role of the Guard
The Guard is basically the "Commander of the Court" with "playmaking" abilities. What is a Guard's most important role? A Guard's primary role is creating optimal shooting opportunities for the team.
A Guard can adeptly dribble and cut through the defense, throw quick passes to jolt the opponents out of sync, or emerge as a hero with their 3-point shots leading the team to victory.
Creating a Guard
When creating a Guard you should consider their future position plans in determining the character' height. In general, a taller player will lose steal and running abilities though they willl gain rebounding and blocking abilities. Depending on the style of guard you wish to create, you may want to make a taller or shorter character.
The Basic Attributes of the Guard
During character creation, you shouldn't focus on developing a character that is too focused on either offesne or defense. The best guards tend to be well balanced. Guards excel in scoring assists, 3-pointers, and steals. A Guards lesser abilities like steals and rebounds can also be powerful factors in a game' outcome.
Basic Guard Gameplay
On offense, try not to grab every 3-point shot opportunity you can get. Instead, make it a goal to pass the ball to other teammates for their shooting chances. On defense, closely guard your counterpart with quick moves. At the same time, target steals from behind them in order to break their dribble and play.
