The Point Guard is often one of the shortest players on the team and is responsible for advancing the basketball up the court and setting up the team’s offense.
This requires the point guard to be highly skilled at dribbling and passing while rarely turning the basketball over to the opposition. Once the offense has been set up, the point guard must be able to read what the defense is doing and make smart decisions. A high level of basketball IQ is crucial for this position which is why the point guard is often referred to as the on-court coach. As with all positions, the point guard should be able to knock down an open outside shot and also penetrate and pass to their teammates. Defensively, the point guard is responsible for guarding and disrupting the opposition’s main ball-handler.

The Shooting Guard is often one of the shorter players on the team and generally starts an offensive possession on the wing.
This is a scoring position and is often be filled by the team’s best outside shooter. But the shooting guard position requires more than outside shooting… This player must be able to shoot consistently from outside, midrange, and close to the basket, as well as be able to make a variety of layups including floaters, euro steps, and reverse layups. They’re also the team’s secondary ball-handler and can help advance the basketball up the court if the point guard is competing against a tough opposition defender. On the defensive end of the floor, a great shooting guard defender is quick and able to avoid screens from the opposition’s bigs.
The Small Forward is often the most versatile of the 5 basketball positions on the court both offensively and defensively.
They’re long and athletic which allows them to be incredibly disruptive on the defensive end of the court and usually makes them the team’s best defensive player. The best small forwards also have an offensive game… Similar to the shooting guard position, they’re able to shoot consistently from outside, score inside, and also penetrate and create for their teammates. The ‘swiss army knife’ of a basketball team. This includes helping out the two ‘bigs’ with rebounding the basketball on the defensive end of the floor.

The power forward is usually the second tallest player on the team and is required to be both strong and skilled.
The power forward needs a good midrange jump shot (especially from the short corner) and will be even more effective if they’re able to consistently hit a three-point shot. Whether this player spends most of their time inside the three-point line or on the perimeter will depend on the offense the coach chooses to run with their team. Defensively, having size and strength is important for boxing out their opponent and securing rebounds.
The Center is usually the tallest and strongest player on the team and spends most of the game close to the basket.
Offensively, most centers don’t have a consistent midrange shot or a three-point shot, nor are they typically the focus of most offenses. Instead, they will score often score the majority of their points by staying close to the rim and scoring off offensive rebounds or by receiving short passes when a perimeter player penetrates and their defender is forced to provide help defense. This requires that they have good hands and a high basketball IQ to know where to move around the rim to give passers the best angle. The best centers have a good post game and can score with a variety of moves from the low post area. This is especially necessary when they get switched onto a smaller and weaker player. Defensively, the two main responsibilities of a center is to defend the basket and rebound the basketball.
