Start off with Quickness and Speed. When you start building up your Ball Handling, be aware that all three stats are equally important. Don't go with Ball Handle 80, Off Hand 60, Ball Security, 60. Try to keep them all relatively even. When your player moves awkwardly, that's often bad Off Hand, and when you lose the ball, that's always because of Ball Security.

Layup is inexpensive, and you get the cool packages at 85.

On Defense, Steal and Defensive Awareness are the money stats.

At the end of the day, it all matters, but I'd prioritize the above skills first if you're going for balance. If you've going for more offense, work on Ball Handling, Consistency and once you're settled in on your midrange/penetration game, work exclusively on the 3. In fact, I'd say 80 is fine for midrange for now.

As a SG, you want to work on your Pass, but it only takes about three good games to get a respectable pass rating. Biggest advantage is when you're passing out of layups and lead passing full court.

That was awesome advice you gave me. Thank you very much for that. I'll deff start to work on that now.

I would also work on on ball defense so you won't get beat by nba superstars so easily or all the time.
