What comprises team in basketball how many players and what position?

Answer 1

Five players on each team when on the court. The positions are: one center, two forwards and two guards. The forwards are positioned near the opposing team's basket so that they can be ready for shooting and rebounding. The center is located near the basket or near the free-throw line so that they can be ready for shooting and rebounding as well. Guards normally bring the ball down on the court to begin offensive play.
