What are the 5 positions in basketball and their specific roles?
PointGuard: He must have great basketball sense. I mean, he must be fundamentally sound. He must know the basics of basketball: shooting, passing, dribbling….. I think a great pointguard must be a pass-first-shoot-last type of guy, the unselfish one. He must know the tendencies of his teammates, & know their strengths & weaknesses of each player. He must have the stamina, coz he has the ball 80% of the time. ShootingGuard: Of course, he must shoot! He must be a decent three-point shooter, good jump shooter, & an excellent free-throw shooter. He must have court awareness too (like during waning seconds, he must shoot it!) SmallForward: I think, a small forward must be a decent shooter & a good defender. He must have the hand of defending the best guys of other teams, no matter what the size. He must be capable of playing the Forward slot. & a great SF can be a great PF too. He must be a decent rebounder too. PowerForward: This man must be a great rebounder, & has a nose for the ball.
