Each of the five players has a different role. The point guard controls the ball and has a lot of influence over the course of play. The shooting guard takes mostly long-ranged shots and guards the opponent's strongest perimeter player. The small forward seeks rebounds and steals, and often scores via penetration and cuts to the basket. The power forwardplays offensively with their back to the basket, and in man-to-man defense focuses on the opposing power forward. The centerrelies on height to protect the basket on defense, and rebound and score on offense.
