Point guard: to get the ball in the other teams half and run the offense Shoot guard: long distance shoots and (sometimes) get in the other teams half Small forward versatile player who should be able to make long shots and get inside the key Power forward: mainly shooting shots inside the paint, sometimes makes 3's Center: tallest player, always inside the paint to rebound and dunk/layout the ball
So many kids asking "What position should I play?" The answer is - don't worry about it. Just learn all the skills, and your COACH will tell you what to do. Basketball is getting more and more "positionless" these days. There are basically guards and forwards more or less, and even those cross over now sometimes.
i agree and also disagree... my skillset acc improved once i knew what i had to do in an offense... that includes my 1on1 basketball is becoming positionless yes but sometimes it helps learning spots on the floor which help you choose the right skillset
Wow I did not know that in basketball. In football (or "soccer), positioning the right player on his spot is very crucial. Placing an attacking midfielder in the role of an defensive midfielder can be very costly. But if you are playing a striker as a defender or a goalkeeper your team already lose even before the game starts.

How long does it take to "get into" basketball? I'm 14 and 178 cm tall but I have no basketball experience, I've been looking to get into this sport but I am not very fit and I am worried people will think of me as a bad player and not want me on their team? What should I do?

I’ve been put as a center in a lot of my highschool games even though i was a better shot than anyone on my team which was really frustrating sometimes
I’m 17, 5”6’, and a senior in high school.... the last time I played basketball competitively was my freshman year on the freshman team. I want to get back into it but I honestly don’t even compare to the skill level. I’m extremely competitive by nature and been practicing for 3-5 hours everyday after school to try and get better. My issue is when I get on the court in basketball pe, I tend to forget how to shoot or what good passes and bad passes are. My handles are better than anyone else’s on varsity and my shooting is decent. I just choke a lot under pressure even though I rarely miss when practicing. How do I fix this?
@Tony Li That makes so much sense... How have I not thought of this.. Thank you so much, this honestly might just be the guidance I need. Playing hella pick up games in my local gym is going to be my new goal. So much to learn but ima stay motivated. Thank you man, I really appreciate you!
Finesse you gotta develop that mamba mentality my guy, convince yourself that you can’t miss, envision the rim being bigger than it is and tell yourself that every game will be your last so you leave no regrets on the floor, I used to have bad anxiety so everyday I’d train non stop and constantly tell myself that death is coming sooner than we all think, life is short and I ain’t got time to worry over making mistakes, if you miss you miss, just go out there and do it again until you make it and with that thought process you become so mentally tough almost nothing can throw you off, after you’ve got that, your skill will speak for itself
Great video! But i thought it would even clearer if you stuck labels of their roles to their backs, so we can learn how different roles interact with each other.

When I was younger, I used to play power forward/center. I get comfortable in the position and never improved my ball handling and 3 ball. But now, I'm struggling defending 3-5 positions and my offense is stagnant always back to basket or mid range. I regret not improving myself.
I feel that. I was like 6’ tall from age twelve so I was always center in Jr. High. At age 18 I was the same height but couldn’t play guard position and everyone got taller than me

Lol, the waterboy is a position where the person is situated on the sidelines and will never set foot on the basketball court, except for timeouts. The waterboy's job is to ensure optimal hydration for the 5 players when they return from the court. This is usually through chilled fountain water or a chilled sports beverage, and is usually contained in an orange Gatorade-branded drink dispenser. Usually the waterboy has an below or average stature and has the most low key personality almost to the point of invisibility, yet the waterboy will face punishment and humiliation by the coach and players if his duties are not performed properly. Ideal for players who were unable to earn a role on the actual basketball team. Lol j/k..I used to be a waterboy for one season:-)

t i r e d ayyy fire my guy, if you can, get record yourself or get someone to record you practicing, watch yourself back and then you can look where you go wrong by watching yourself back and comparing it to NBA players, if you’re a PG I’d watch Kyrie, Curry, Lillard, Gary Payton, Chris Paul etc. If you’re comparing yourself to some of the best in the NBA and you work hard enough to the point where you’re emulating them, you’re definitely gonna be a solid player on your team
I'm 4 years old and 2 ft tall, I suck at basketball, so I've been the team's waterboy. I wanted to try being the team coach, what position should I be in?
Im 14, 5.8-9 and weigh 155lbs. Im currently practicing basketball so next year in my sophomore year Ill be able to get into the basketball team, and trying to figure out the positions and roles in basketball.
I just moved to the Philippines and EVERYONE hoops here, but i'm hesitant to join in because the last time I played was in high school gym. Thanks for the quick breakdown, now I'll actually understand what's going on while I watch from my apartment window 😂
I feel I’m a power forward, I have trials in 2 days I’m so scared I don’t think I’m even that good enough, but I’ll re-edit this comment on how it goes Update: I have not received an email and have not heard from the team since, not one thing to say how well I done at the trials
My coach says im good at basketball and ask why I always want to get the ball when im only a point guard.. I didnt know there are other role besides point guard.. And I dont even know what is a point guard.. Thanks this help me a lot
The high school girls basketball coach wants me try out next year (Sophomore year). I have some basketball experience and I’m alright I guess. I like to run most of the time but I’m average speed and tire. What position should I try? I’m competitive, tall, and athletic according to the coach
I'm 175cm, with a weight of 57kg, and I'm 17yrsold Shooting: 8-10 Dribbling: 10-10 Passing: 7-10 Rebounding: 5-10 Defense: 6-10 Offense: 9-10 and I'm a half Filipino-Spanish What do you think is my role is?
im 5,4 ft and im 17, i have very good and sharp passes, my dribbling is decent my shooting could be improved but my layups and defense are pretty bad, what should i play?
Hey guys just started basketball half a year ago (used to play soccer and was one of the best in my state). I’m pretty athletic, my height is 6 foot and I’m 15 (projected to be 6’5 like my bro). If I learnt the game well and practiced hard would I be able to get into the nba?
probably a power forward ur not good at shooting and your not tall so you cannot be a center or a guard nor a small forward since you cannot play all position but u like getting the ball so im gonna assume ur decent at driving to the rim so u will probably be playing on the upper post thats y ur a power forward
the thing is when i was 15 (now 16) i really wanted to be a center at the height of 5,11 but my coach was like no you have to play small forward sometimes your body dictates your position and even your skill set even now im around 6 ,3.5 pushing 6,4 i still play small forward with the occasional move to center while in game you are 15 so you will probably grow a little more
I'm 12, 5'6, I'm bad at defense but good at shooting and this is going to be my first year playing basketball for my school. What position should I be?
You should absolutely work on the weakest part of your game if you want a shot at playing regularly for your team. Try being a shooting guard to highlight that aspect of your game! Please share and subscribe, we respond to every comment in detail :)
What should i play? I'm 14, 150 pounds, 6 ft and have a vertical of like 26 inches or something. I'm not very good at shooting from behind the three point line, but I'm good at layups, ofc.
I once sprayed my hand playing basketball and when I went to the doctor (idk if it was a nurse or doctor) I told him how I broke it he asked me if I played center I said yes because I just started getting into basketball and i just played in an after school club so we didn't really have positions and I still feel guilty about lying to the nurse/doctor
Im 170 and 70 kg i know im pretty fat, so which position should i go ? Shooting : 9/10 Lay up : 5/10 3 pts : 8/10 pass : 8/10 I can dribble but not that fast at running oh yeah i can do some crossover Thanks.
I am a 14year old 172cm in height and a good shooter and a good defender. I can block shots too. I can also finish at the rim. Which positions should i play??
You seem tall for you age. If you aren't naturally attacking-minded then perhaps a more defensive position would be best for you. But honestly you are still young and can definitely work on your shooting ability if you want to be favoured for more attacking positions :)
Im 5'9.5 and 14. What Position do i pick? Shooting - 9/10 Dribbling -8/10 Passing - 10/10 3pt - 8/10 Defense - 9/10 I weigh 178 - 177 pounds. And i play Pickup and organized. UPDATED
I love when I get the info I searched for in a short, informative video like this. I wish all were like this instead of the ten-minute-long, algorithm-milking nonsense videos that have completely diluted and ruined TH-cam.
I came here because I watched the last dance reminiscing 90s basketball when I played when I was 15. Now 37 watching basketball games on TH-cam and hoping to join a local recreational basketball group. Theres also a hoop in my neighbourhood
.. position are not limited to size. But they will only be slightly better. Ben Simmons is a 7 foot pg. Playing small ball is becoming more popular. It also depends on what league you are playing in
I can't do crossovers well and I have weak control over the ball, but I can do layups. I am 173 cm tall. I suck at shooting. What position should I play?
Nice Video! Guys I am 14 and 160 cm. My midrange game is good, defense is best on the team, above average athletic. I don' really have handles and it is hard for me to sauce things up. Lastly I am the playmaker of the team as well. I would say I fit a forward position but my height is an issue. Any help?
Nowadays in the NBA:
PG : Shoots 3s
SG : Shoots 3s
SF : Shoots 3s
PF : Shoots 3s
C : Shoots 3s
Noobie Pleya Ikr even really tall players play Point Guard now (Ben Simmons and Giannis Antetokounmpo
Jana Carmela Casimiro This is old school. Height doesn't matter that much. Kevin Durant is 7 ft.

Shooting or forward
Center should be good enough

Center
Shooting Guard
Shooting guard or point guard
short and right to the point

ur only option is point guard due to your height and passes
bench player

point guard they’re the shortest and get the ball a lot. They usually don’t shoot and try to make assists
The centre
-Daniele - then don’t touch the ball. What do you want the ball for.

I once sprayed my hand playing basketball and when I went to the doctor (idk if it was a nurse or doctor) I told him how I broke it he asked me if I played center I said yes because I just started getting into basketball and i just played in an after school club so we didn't really have positions and I still feel guilty about lying to the nurse/doctor
AV_ Acryllic - Just say I rotate around
I know many people ask this but..I’m in middle school, I’m 5’2 ft, I LOVE shooting but I’m not that good defense. Which one should I pick?
SG
I can't shoot, but I'm tall AF, so I guess I'm a rebounding and shot-blocking focused centre, or a power-forward who passes a lot XD
Same here, 6'6 myself
I'm 6'5" with a 6'9" wingspan, but a trash shot, but I can block well shots quite well
Y’all gotta get a jumper lmao you could be unstoppable
I need to watch this multiple times 😂
Im 170 and 70 kg i know im pretty fat, so which position should i go ?
Shooting : 9/10
Lay up : 5/10
3 pts : 8/10
pass : 8/10
I can dribble but not that fast at running oh yeah i can do some crossover Thanks.
and yeah i only good at blocking and defending i recently play back - middle court and trying 3 pts and shoot
probably shooting guard since your shooting is high and your layup is average not a smll forward cuz ur layup r not there or any big
thanks mate im still trying lay up too ;)
Uganda Knuckles you should try playing the weight loss position
Uganda Knuckles power forward bro...
I am a 14year old 172cm in height and a good shooter and a good defender. I can block shots too. I can also finish at the rim. Which positions should i play??
What if I'm twelve and 164 cm tall. What would be the best position for me? I'm not very good at shooting as well.
You seem tall for you age. If you aren't naturally attacking-minded then perhaps a more defensive position would be best for you. But honestly you are still young and can definitely work on your shooting ability if you want to be favoured for more attacking positions :)
Thanks!

Yung Pac i worked out and i lost 15 pounds
I love when I get the info I searched for in a short, informative video like this.
I wish all were like this instead of the ten-minute-long, algorithm-milking nonsense videos that have completely diluted and ruined TH-cam.
Thank you ;-) Also that'd the diversity of videos on youtube that makes it amazing. Everybody can find the video that suits him better.
I'm 5"9' 150 pounds and 12 so on my team I play PF sometimes C
Damn you gonna be lanky af, might make for a good future SF if you already got a decent post game, get a decent three and you’re Gucci

I came here because I watched the last dance reminiscing 90s basketball when I played when I was 15. Now 37 watching basketball games on TH-cam and hoping to join a local recreational basketball group. Theres also a hoop in my neighbourhood
I'm a 5'5 small forward 13 yrs
thankyouiu verry much big help for me
You're welcome :-)
lol 5’5 so I guess am a PG 🤣🤣
Only thing you can be 🤣
.. position are not limited to size. But they will only be slightly better. Ben Simmons is a 7 foot pg. Playing small ball is becoming more popular. It also depends on what league you are playing in
Im 14 and a 5'7 sf but i wanna play sg sometimes but my coach won't let me also will i get any taller?

I’m watching this entire playlist bc it’s my first week of playng basketball, we only had 6 weeks of practice, and my game is in 1 and 36 minutes
I came here because I’m trying out for the basketball team at my high school with no experience except for terrible middle school instructions
I'm a small forward and I love it
Im 5'4, can play good perimeter defense,can shoot mid range, good acce l and decel, and rebound. What do you think i should play
Can you do another position? For example, you're a powerfoward can you shoot outside the line like the shooting guard?
Logang Paulers yes
I HAVE A MATCH TMRW TYYYYY
Nice
But pleaee do well to add subtitles
I didn’t hear properly
I can't do crossovers well and I have weak control over the ball, but I can do layups. I am 173 cm tall. I suck at shooting. What position should I play?
OMG this video was Sooo helpful. I didn't get this too much and all your videos are awesome and clear. Thanks! :)
im 6ft (182cm) and im 13. what positon should i play
Trying out for basketball in a few days, reconsidering my decision cause it looks HELLA confusing
How did it go?
Thank you so much
Nice Video! Guys I am 14 and 160 cm. My midrange game is good, defense is best on the team, above average athletic. I don' really have handles and it is hard for me to sauce things up. Lastly I am the playmaker of the team as well. I would say I fit a forward position but my height is an issue. Any help?
