We have automated the process of recording and comparing the relevant speed and agility ratings in the game. For these we are incrementing both speed and agility and recording the outcome.
For this test, the build is 6'4", 180 lbs with a 6'7" wingspan, using the Gary Harris motion style. Speed and Agility are raised together one point at a time from 60 to 99.
Jogging is running without holding Turbo and Sprinting is running while holding Turbo.
The charts display Median values by default. You can switch to Average values using the toggle above the charts.

Value per point is not flat. From the median testing above, these are the bands where points buy the most and the least:
If you are choosing where to cap Speed and Agility, 85 was the strongest stopping point in our testing, with 76 the next best below it. Points parked between 76 and 83 returned the least.

Trend: Jog and sprint speed both climb steadily with rating, from about 9.9 to 13.1 MPH jogging and 12.2 to 14.5 MPH sprinting (median).
Outliers: Rating 75 tested well above its neighbors on both series, and its sprint speed beat every rating up to 91.
Trend: Launch times fall gradually as the rating rises, from about 0.87s to 0.68s jogging and 0.80s to 0.66s sprinting (median).
Outliers: This measurement is noisy run to run. Rating 68 jogged an unusually slow 0.91s, while 75's sprint launch was again quicker than its neighbors.
Trend: The noisiest of the four measurements. The fitted trends are nearly flat, with jog and sprint converging around 0.9s at the high ratings.
Outliers: Sprint times at ratings 63 and 66 tested well above the rest, at over 1.1 seconds.
Trend: Full-court times fall steadily with rating, from about 4.0s to 3.1s jogging and 3.4s to 2.8s sprinting (median).
Outliers: Rating 75 crossed the court about as fast as ratings in the mid-to-high 80s, well ahead of its neighbors.
Speed controls your top movement speed, while Agility controls acceleration and how quickly you change direction. The graphs above show the tested in-game values at every rating from 60 to 99.
On our 6'4" test build, median sprint speed rises from about 12.2 MPH at 60 Speed and Agility to about 14.5 MPH at 99, and a full-court sprint drops from about 3.4 seconds to about 2.8 seconds.
On our test build, each point of Speed and Agility adds about 0.8% to jog speed and about 0.5% to sprint speed on average (median values, 60 to 99). The gain is not evenly spread: the single step from 74 to 75 was worth about 6% of sprint speed in our testing, while sprint speed barely moved from 76 to 83. Across the full range, full-court times improve by about 23% jogging and 18% sprinting.
Guards usually want high speed and agility, often in the mid-80s or higher, to beat defenders off the dribble. Use the tested values above to see what each rating actually gives you.
