- Ranked PvP and more

Player Roles Breakdown
Every match is won not by raw star powerâbut by understanding role synergy. Hereâs what each position does best:
| Position | Description |
|---|---|
| PG (Point Guard) | Controls tempo, sets up offense, excels in passing & steals |
| SG (Shooting Guard) | Deadly from deep; good off-ball movement |
| SF (Small Forward) | Balanced scorer/defender with agility |
| PF (Power Forward) | Screens, rebounds, tough inside presence |
| C (Center) | Shot-blocker, post-up scorer, rebound machine |
Pro Tip: Donât play 3 scorers. A winning squad has a playmaker, a finisher, and a defender/rebounder.
2025 Tier List: Best Players by Category
Hereâs the meta snapshot as of global launch, based on competitive play, synergy, and versatility.
S-Tier (Meta Scorers):
These are the most dominant characters in competitive play. Picked or banned in high-ELO ranked and tournament-level games. Most S-tier teams include one of Curry/Luka for offense, LeBron for lockdown defense, and Gasol or a flexible big like Bam to hold the paint.
| Player | Role | Strengths |
|---|---|---|
| Stephen Curry | PG / Scorer | Unrivaled 3-point shooter, thrives with strong screens and spacing. Most viable long-term DPS. |
| Marc Gasol | C / Anchor | Elite post player, top rebounder, offensive and defensive big. Great synergy with pick-and-pop shooters. |
| LeBron James | SF / Defender | Shuts down key threats (Curry, Luka). Elite defensive presence with scoring versatility. |
| Luka Doncic | PG / Playmaker | High-tier passer, hard to intercept, massive carry potential, and easy to upgrade (Superstar rarity). |
| S.G. Alexander | PG / Playmaker | Dominant 1v1 presence. Requires constant double coverage, great for breaking weak defenses. |
A-Tier:
Great characters in the right hands or with proper synergy. These players can dominate but arenât plug-and-play like S-tier picks. Most A-tier players can shift to S-tier depending on matchup or team comp. Giannis, Julio, and Bam especially shine when paired with proper support.
| Player | Role | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Giannis Antetokounmpo | PF / Slasher | Incredible when Ult is active, but weak against elite bigs like Gasol. Considered A+ or S- tier. |
| Paul George | SF / Balanced | âBudget KD,â with solid defense and an underrated alt. |
| Jordan Clarkson | SG / All-Around | Versatile scoring threat, good for F2P or mid-skill players. Also, good 3-pointer. |
| Russel Westbrook | PG / Handles | Elite dribbler and finisher, but tough to master. |
| Zion Williamson | PF / Shot Blocker / Dunker | Block everything and good rebound, post specialist. Weak lateral movement. |
| Bam Adebayo | C / Mobile Big | Slightly better Capela with mobility; great paint control. |
| Clint Capela | C / Shot Blocker | Paint-camper. Not mobile but dominant when used to guard the rim. |
| Klay Thompson | SG / Shooter | Budget Curry. High shooting consistency but less game-breaking. |
| Devin Booker | SG / Hybrid | Sits at the bottom of A-tier. Works well in synergy-focused builds with LeBron or Bam. |
B-Tier:
Can perform well, but have notable flaws, poor scaling in high ELO, or require precise synergy. B-tier players are great when filling missing roles or while leveling up. Use them as placeholders until your core S/A-tier roster is formed.
| Andrew Wiggins | SF / Slasher | A âbudget LeBronâ; solid but underwhelming in top play. |
| DeMar DeRozan | SG / Mid-Range | Good mid-range and defense, lacks threat from deep. |
| Jamal Murray | PG / Shooter | Fundamentally average. No standout mechanics. |
| Anderson | PF / Utility | Jack-of-all-trades; doesnât really excel at anything. |
| Kuminga | PF / Driver | On par with Zion; lacks versatility. |
| Fu Zhi (When mastered) | SG / Stealer | C-tier by default, steal potential. |
| Chris Paul | PG / Support | Only offers teammate buffs. Not a scoring threat. |
C-Tier:
| Player | Role | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| Seth Curry | SG / Shooter | Starter/Newbie friendly and good guaranteed 3 point shooter |
| Steven Adams | C / Post Big | Too slow; outclassed by Bam, Gasol, and Capela. |
| Jusuf Nurkic | C / Post Big | Similar issue as Adams; slow and offers little versatility. |
Game Modes Explained
| Mode | Description |
|---|---|
| 3v3 11-Point Game | Fast-paced 3v3; first to 11 wins |
| 3v3 Dynasty | Manager-style play with AI strategy control |
| 3v3 Ranked Match | Competitive PvP with no duplicate picks |
