I have two guards who perplex me. I think guard A should be the vastly superior point guard. However, whenever I let the game engine pick the lineup, it always chooses guard B. Guard B shoots better, but whether I play an inside or outside offense, guard B gets the call. Their skills:

Guard A
Jump Shot: 10
Jump Range: 3
Passing: 15

Guard B
Jump Shot: 14
Jump Range: 7
Passing: 9

Outside Defense, Handling = same
Inside skills = very similar

So, my question is whether you think the game engine is choosing the best player. Does the better shooting of guard B really offset a 6+ passer rating on guard A? I would think the superior passing would improve most offenses far more than the extra 1-2 jump shots guard B might make in a game.
Poll:  Which would you play?
Game engine is wrong. Play the better passer.
Go along with the game engine. Play the shooter.

Guard B is +1 experience and +3 stamina, but I figure the stamina should not effect who is chosen to start, just substitutions. If I'm wrong about that, maybe that's the explanation. Both have has the same game shape.

If I were you I would ignore the game engine and place Guard A in the starting point guard position.
His passing far surpasses that of guard B and is a very primary stat of a dominant PG.
You want your Point guard to run offenses and set up your other players, I haven't looked at both players stats but I assume Player A would average far more assists than Player B.

Hope that helps

Game engine tends to prefer offense (JS/JR) over high passing and low JR, like player A. So the game engine will pick the best offensive player in this situation. It sees player B as better because he can actually score while still having decen passing. I think that's one reason they always told us to create balanced players because the GE prefers them over guys with special skillsets ( high passing and low shooting)
