Most importantly they need low PErimeter. Then it’s a combo of speed, bh, lp, and ath. Most guards have good speed and bh so those kinda take care of themselves, above average ath and some LP (30 is good , 50 is great) go a long way.
if you have perimeter it helps you score but it will increase the likelihood of jump shots.
For the record, this is the correct answer.
LP and perimeter aren’t just describing ability, they are also referring to tendency. A guard with 60/25 LP/Per will be a good candidate for a “slasher” type, especially with good ath and FT to draw fouls and rack up easy points from the line. A guard with 25/60 LP/Per will settle for a lot of mid range jumpshots, and will not get to the line as often.
