A Point guard, or PG, also called the play maker or "the ball-handler", is one of the standard positions in a regulation Basketball game. A point guard has perhaps the most specialized role of any position - essentially, he is expected to run the team's offense by controlling the ball and making sure that it gets to the right players at the right time. Above all, the point guard must totally understand and accept his or her coach's game plan; in this way, the position can be compared to a quarterback in American football.
