Guard (also called point guard or playmaker)

He organises the play of the team. Generally, he is the most agile player of the team and often he is the shortest among the teammates. He does not go very often close to the basket but he shoots from long distance and serves his partners by giving good assists. Penetration of the defense is a most effective skill for a guard to master.

Forward

Forwards are expected to be be good middle and long distance shooters and to score baskets from penetration.

Centre

The centres are the tallest players of the team. Most of the baskets they score are from close range shots and from rebound situations. Both in defence and in offence they have mainly the task of getting rebounds.
