There are 5 positions in Basketball and this informational article will help you readers have a better understanding of the team sport itself and what the positions mean.

The "1" in Basketball is referred to as the Point Guard. The Point Guard is trying to steal the ball from the opposing (opponent or opposite side). The Point Guard will (almost) always be the team's best shooter and/or passer.

The "2" in Basketball is referred to as the Shooting Guard who is normally the team's best shooter and can shoot from long distances and is a good dribbler.

The "3" in Basketball is referred to as the Small Forward which is the most versatile position in Basketball out of the five positions. They will also be in charge of scoring and defending, getting the rebounds is also a main factor for the position.

The "4" in Basketball is referred to as the Power Forward, and they must be excellent rebounders and they must be able to take care of the ball after they have successfully secured the ball. They can hit shots because their main focus isn't a defense.

The "5" in Basketball is referred to as the Center, they are typically the tallest player on the team. If you are a Center in Basketball you typically want to get the rebounds, you also want to run the floor and roll quickly to the basket.
