Best Answer

Guards in the NBA have a median height of between 5'9" and 6'7" (though point guard Magic Johnson was 6'9" and Muggsy Bogues was 5'3"). Point guards are expected to be able to run the offensive plays, have the best hands on the team, and a solid jump shot. Shooting guards are generally expected to have a very good long-range shot, as well as the ability to drive it into the lane when called upon.
