Looking for the best teams to play for as a PG, SG, SF, PF, or C in MyCAREER in 2K26? This guide identifies the teams that are the best fit for your position, showing where MyPLAYERs have opportunities for playing time, strong teammates, and key roles. From point guard to center, explore the squads that offer the most potential for your MyCAREER journey in NBA 2K26.
Point Guard (PG)
Milwaukee Bucks
With Damian Lillard back on the Blazers, the Bucks now lack a legitimate point guard. This creates a prime opportunity for a MyPLAYER PG to step in and feed Giannis Antetokounmpo. The pick up of Myles Turner in the offseason provides rim protection and floor spacing, making it easier to run the offense and rack up assists. Playing PG here means you can immediately contribute and help the Bucks remain competitive in the Eastern Conference.
Minnesota Timberwolves
Mike Conley is 37 and nearing the end of his career, making him highly replaceable. Sliding into this lineup as a young PG gives you the chance to play alongside Anthony Edwards, who’s blossoming into one of the NBA’s best scorers. Julius Randle and Rudy Gobert add an elite frontcourt presence, and the Wolves’ defense is among the best in the league. You’ll have shooters, lob targets, and stars to make you look good while you build your legacy.
Washington Wizards
The Wizards lack a high-level PG, with Bub Carrington being solid but not a game-changing option. This means you can instantly claim a starting spot and become the face of the franchise. The Wizards seem to be perpetually in rebuild mode, so the downside is that Washington is far from contention, so you’ll be carrying a heavy load. Still, it’s a great place if you want the ball in your hands from Day 1.
Shooting Guard (SG)
Golden State Warriors
Since Klay Thompson left for Dallas, the Warriors haven’t had a long-term solution at SG. Brandin Podziemski is talented, but more suited as a 6th man glue player. Stepping in as the SG means you’ll share the floor with Stephen Curry, Jimmy Butler, and Draymond Green, who are all veterans who can still compete. The Warriors’ spacing, unselfish ball movement, and championship culture make this a dream landing spot for a sharpshooting or slashing SG in MyCAREER.
Memphis Grizzlies
With Desmond Bane gone, the Grizzlies have replaced him with Kentavious Caldwell-Pope, a solid 3-and-D role player, but at 32 years old he’s not a long-term solution. Slotting in here gives you a chance to play next to Ja Morant, Jaren Jackson Jr., and rookie giant Zach Edey. This team has the talent and defensive identity to win now, and you can immediately take over as the scoring wing alongside Morant.
Utah Jazz
Brice Sensabaugh is listed as the starter, but he’s still unproven and easily replaceable. The Jazz don’t have elite top-end talent, so you’ll be expected to carry a lot of the offensive load. Lauri Markkanen provides floor spacing and scoring versatility, and Keyonte George is an intriguing young guard. While the Jazz aren’t immediate contenders, you’ll get tons of usage here and the chance to grow into the franchise star.
Small Forward (SF)
Phoenix Suns
With Royce O’Neale now a 32-year-old journeyman best suited for a bench role, the starting small forward spot for the Phoenix Suns is wide open. Alongside Devin Booker, Jalen Green, and Dillon Brooks, this presents an immediate opportunity to join a dynamic backcourt. As the new starting SF, you can carve out your niche. This role offers significant playing time and the chance to contribute to a competitive Western Conference team.
Washington Wizards
Khris Middleton, now in his 30s, is past his All-Star prime and not a long-term answer at SF. Joining the Wizards here gives you a starting role almost immediately. Like at PG, you’ll face the challenge of building up a young, rebuilding roster, but the benefit is full offensive freedom.
Brooklyn Nets
Terance Mann is currently the starting SF, but he’s better suited as a utility bench player. That makes the SF position wide open for a MyPLAYER. The downside is that the Nets don’t have a strong roster and aren’t expected to compete for titles soon. Still, you’d get plenty of minutes and the freedom to define your role on both ends of the court.
Power Forward (PF)
San Antonio Spurs
The San Antonio Spurs are a top destination for PF builds in NBA 2K26 MyCAREER, with superstar Victor Wembanyama anchoring the paint and doing everything on the court. With 33-year-old Harrison Barnes nearing the end of his prime, your PF can step in and take over the starting role. You can contribute on rebounding, defense, or stretching the floor, while developing your skills alongside this promising, up-and-coming roster. With a dynamic backcourt featuring De’Aaron Fox and Rookie of the Year Stephon Castle, as well as #2 pick Dylan Harper, you’ll get starter-level minutes, plenty of touches, and a central role in San Antonio’s future plans.
Chicago Bulls
The Bulls have Matas Buzelis developing into their PF of the future, but he’s still raw and will take time to reach his potential. That opens the door for you to step in and claim the starting spot early. With Zach LaVine, Coby White, and Nikola Vucevic still around, the Bulls have enough talent to be competitive while you grow into the role.
Los Angeles Lakers
This is the ultimate long-term play – or maybe just one season coming off the bench. LeBron James is nearing retirement, and when he does, the PF spot becomes yours. Even while he’s still active, you can run with LeBron while Luka Doncic feeds you passes and Deandre Ayton anchors the frontcourt. The Lakers remain one of the most competitive rosters in the league, and stepping into LeBron’s shoes could be a historic MyCAREER storyline.
Center (C)
Indiana Pacers
With Myles Turner bolting to the rival Bucks, the Pacers are wide open at the 5. This is a perfect opportunity, since Indiana already has a strong offensive foundation in Tyrese Haliburton, Pascal Siakam, and Bennedict Mathurin. As their new center, you can control the paint defensively, be the lob target for Haliburton, and help this team become a consistent contender in the East.
Boston Celtics
The Celtics are relying on Neemias Queta as their starting center. Queta is unproven and low-rated, which gives you the perfect chance to lock down the 5 spot. Playing alongside Tatum, Brown, and White guarantees deep playoff runs, while you dominate at center on both ends.
Golden State Warriors
With long-time Warrior Kevon Looney heading to the Pelicans and Al Horford still pondering retirement, the Warriors’ center spot is wide open. Even if Horford signs, he’s 39, leaving plenty of opportunity for a new starter. While Quinten Post has shown promise, the starting role is still up for grabs. This is a golden opportunity to help Steph get his 5th ring on the virtual court while boosting your MyCAREER stats.
