BASKETBALL POSITIONS and THEIR JOBS
There are 5 positions on the court of basketball and they all have jobs.

~Power Forward

~Shooting Guard
The shooting guard is the team best perimeter shooter, is generally taller then the point guard but shorter then the small forward.
~Small Forward
A small forward is the most aggressive and strong and able to score from the outside of the perimeter and the inside.
