A basketball team can have a lot of players, but only five can play in a game at any one time. Players in a basketball game have assigned basketball positions: center, power forward, small forward, point guard, and shooting guard.
Center
The center is the tallest player on each team, playing near the basket. On offense, the center tries to score on close shots and rebound. But on defense, the center tries to block opponents’ shots and rebound their misses.

Power Forward
The power forward does many of the things a center does, playing near the basket while rebounding and defending taller players. But power forwards also take longer shots than centers.
Small Forward
The small forward plays against small and large players. They roam all over on the court. Small forwards can score from long shots and close ones.
Point Guard

The point guard runs the offense and usually is the team’s best dribbler and passer. The point guard defends the opponent’s point guard and tries to steal the ball.
Shooting Guard

The shooting guard is usually the team’s best shooter. The shooting guard can make shots from long distance and also is a good dribbler.
