So many kids asking "What position should I play?" The answer is - don't worry about it. Just learn all the skills, and your COACH will tell you what to do. Basketball is getting more and more "positionless" these days. There are basically guards and forwards more or less, and even those cross over now sometimes.
i agree and also disagree... my skillset acc improved once i knew what i had to do in an offense... that includes my 1on1 basketball is becoming positionless yes but sometimes it helps learning spots on the floor which help you choose the right skillset
Wow I did not know that in basketball. In football (or "soccer), positioning the right player on his spot is very crucial. Placing an attacking midfielder in the role of an defensive midfielder can be very costly. But if you are playing a striker as a defender or a goalkeeper your team already lose even before the game starts.
Point guard: to get the ball in the other teams half and run the offense Shoot guard: long distance shoots and (sometimes) get in the other teams half Small forward versatile player who should be able to make long shots and get inside the key Power forward: mainly shooting shots inside the paint, sometimes makes 3's Center: tallest player, always inside the paint to rebound and dunk/layout the ball

Bruh i told my friends to get 2k when it was on sale and they said it was too much when they out here literally saying that they have spent more than 1000$ on microtransactions
I’ve been put as a center in a lot of my highschool games even though i was a better shot than anyone on my team which was really frustrating sometimes
How long does it take to "get into" basketball? I'm 14 and 178 cm tall but I have no basketball experience, I've been looking to get into this sport but I am not very fit and I am worried people will think of me as a bad player and not want me on their team? What should I do?

I’m 17, 5”6’, and a senior in high school.... the last time I played basketball competitively was my freshman year on the freshman team. I want to get back into it but I honestly don’t even compare to the skill level. I’m extremely competitive by nature and been practicing for 3-5 hours everyday after school to try and get better. My issue is when I get on the court in basketball pe, I tend to forget how to shoot or what good passes and bad passes are. My handles are better than anyone else’s on varsity and my shooting is decent. I just choke a lot under pressure even though I rarely miss when practicing. How do I fix this?
@Tony Li That makes so much sense... How have I not thought of this.. Thank you so much, this honestly might just be the guidance I need. Playing hella pick up games in my local gym is going to be my new goal. So much to learn but ima stay motivated. Thank you man, I really appreciate you!
Finesse you gotta develop that mamba mentality my guy, convince yourself that you can’t miss, envision the rim being bigger than it is and tell yourself that every game will be your last so you leave no regrets on the floor, I used to have bad anxiety so everyday I’d train non stop and constantly tell myself that death is coming sooner than we all think, life is short and I ain’t got time to worry over making mistakes, if you miss you miss, just go out there and do it again until you make it and with that thought process you become so mentally tough almost nothing can throw you off, after you’ve got that, your skill will speak for itself
When I was younger, I used to play power forward/center. I get comfortable in the position and never improved my ball handling and 3 ball. But now, I'm struggling defending 3-5 positions and my offense is stagnant always back to basket or mid range. I regret not improving myself.
I feel that. I was like 6’ tall from age twelve so I was always center in Jr. High. At age 18 I was the same height but couldn’t play guard position and everyone got taller than me
Lol, the waterboy is a position where the person is situated on the sidelines and will never set foot on the basketball court, except for timeouts. The waterboy's job is to ensure optimal hydration for the 5 players when they return from the court. This is usually through chilled fountain water or a chilled sports beverage, and is usually contained in an orange Gatorade-branded drink dispenser. Usually the waterboy has an below or average stature and has the most low key personality almost to the point of invisibility, yet the waterboy will face punishment and humiliation by the coach and players if his duties are not performed properly. Ideal for players who were unable to earn a role on the actual basketball team. Lol j/k..I used to be a waterboy for one season:-)
Great video! But i thought it would even clearer if you stuck labels of their roles to their backs, so we can learn how different roles interact with each other.

t i r e d ayyy fire my guy, if you can, get record yourself or get someone to record you practicing, watch yourself back and then you can look where you go wrong by watching yourself back and comparing it to NBA players, if you’re a PG I’d watch Kyrie, Curry, Lillard, Gary Payton, Chris Paul etc. If you’re comparing yourself to some of the best in the NBA and you work hard enough to the point where you’re emulating them, you’re definitely gonna be a solid player on your team
I'm 4 years old and 2 ft tall, I suck at basketball, so I've been the team's waterboy. I wanted to try being the team coach, what position should I be in?
I'm 14 , 5'9 and weigh 145 lbs . I have some experience of playing basketball but never been on a school team . What do ya'll think my position should be ?
I just moved to the Philippines and EVERYONE hoops here, but i'm hesitant to join in because the last time I played was in high school gym. Thanks for the quick breakdown, now I'll actually understand what's going on while I watch from my apartment window 😂
My coach says im good at basketball and ask why I always want to get the ball when im only a point guard.. I didnt know there are other role besides point guard.. And I dont even know what is a point guard.. Thanks this help me a lot
I feel I’m a power forward, I have trials in 2 days I’m so scared I don’t think I’m even that good enough, but I’ll re-edit this comment on how it goes Update: I have not received an email and have not heard from the team since, not one thing to say how well I done at the trials
Im 14, 5.8-9 and weigh 155lbs. Im currently practicing basketball so next year in my sophomore year Ill be able to get into the basketball team, and trying to figure out the positions and roles in basketball.
The high school girls basketball coach wants me try out next year (Sophomore year). I have some basketball experience and I’m alright I guess. I like to run most of the time but I’m average speed and tire. What position should I try? I’m competitive, tall, and athletic according to the coach
im 5,4 ft and im 17, i have very good and sharp passes, my dribbling is decent my shooting could be improved but my layups and defense are pretty bad, what should i play?
I'm 175cm, with a weight of 57kg, and I'm 17yrsold Shooting: 8-10 Dribbling: 10-10 Passing: 7-10 Rebounding: 5-10 Defense: 6-10 Offense: 9-10 and I'm a half Filipino-Spanish What do you think is my role is?
probably a power forward ur not good at shooting and your not tall so you cannot be a center or a guard nor a small forward since you cannot play all position but u like getting the ball so im gonna assume ur decent at driving to the rim so u will probably be playing on the upper post thats y ur a power forward
I love when I get the info I searched for in a short, informative video like this. I wish all were like this instead of the ten-minute-long, algorithm-milking nonsense videos that have completely diluted and ruined RUclips.
Im 170 and 70 kg i know im pretty fat, so which position should i go ? Shooting : 9/10 Lay up : 5/10 3 pts : 8/10 pass : 8/10 I can dribble but not that fast at running oh yeah i can do some crossover Thanks.
the thing is when i was 15 (now 16) i really wanted to be a center at the height of 5,11 but my coach was like no you have to play small forward sometimes your body dictates your position and even your skill set even now im around 6 ,3.5 pushing 6,4 i still play small forward with the occasional move to center while in game you are 15 so you will probably grow a little more
I'm 12, 5'6, I'm bad at defense but good at shooting and this is going to be my first year playing basketball for my school. What position should I be?
You should absolutely work on the weakest part of your game if you want a shot at playing regularly for your team. Try being a shooting guard to highlight that aspect of your game! Please share and subscribe, we respond to every comment in detail :)
I am a 14year old 172cm in height and a good shooter and a good defender. I can block shots too. I can also finish at the rim. Which positions should i play??
What should i play? I'm 14, 150 pounds, 6 ft and have a vertical of like 26 inches or something. I'm not very good at shooting from behind the three point line, but I'm good at layups, ofc.
You seem tall for you age. If you aren't naturally attacking-minded then perhaps a more defensive position would be best for you. But honestly you are still young and can definitely work on your shooting ability if you want to be favoured for more attacking positions :)
I once sprayed my hand playing basketball and when I went to the doctor (idk if it was a nurse or doctor) I told him how I broke it he asked me if I played center I said yes because I just started getting into basketball and i just played in an after school club so we didn't really have positions and I still feel guilty about lying to the nurse/doctor
Im 5'9.5 and 14. What Position do i pick? Shooting - 9/10 Dribbling -8/10 Passing - 10/10 3pt - 8/10 Defense - 9/10 I weigh 178 - 177 pounds. And i play Pickup and organized. UPDATED
I came here because I watched the last dance reminiscing 90s basketball when I played when I was 15. Now 37 watching basketball games on RUclips and hoping to join a local recreational basketball group. Theres also a hoop in my neighbourhood
Hey guys just started basketball half a year ago (used to play soccer and was one of the best in my state). I’m pretty athletic, my height is 6 foot and I’m 15 (projected to be 6’5 like my bro). If I learnt the game well and practiced hard would I be able to get into the nba?
.. position are not limited to size. But they will only be slightly better. Ben Simmons is a 7 foot pg. Playing small ball is becoming more popular. It also depends on what league you are playing in
I don't know cuz I shud play small forward cuz I'm a decent shooter and have rlly good handles and good defenses. But I think I cud play centre because I'm 13 and I'm 6ft 1 so I'm d tallest. The thing is I love shooting and don't wanna be a centre just to get the rebound and pass it to someone else so they can shoot. Can some 1 help
Become an all around player and be able to play each position. If you decide to play pro, this will make you a flexible option and more likely to get a good role
- I'm 5'4 - Good at passing - Not so good at dribbling (because i easily get scared during 1on1 but im good when im free) - Not so good at shooting midrange probably 3-5 out of 10 tries when cold but when hot 5-7 out of 10 - Not so good with 3s - Good at Layups - Good at rebounding because of high verticals despite of height (but sometimes reckless and short so i prefer to not get the rebound and give it to the taller team mates - Good at Defending - Good at stealing the ball (but also reckless sometimes) - Get blocks sometimes (probably 2-3 blocks per game near the 3pt line and midrange) I know I suck but I want to know what position should i really go with to practice on it.
I not good at driving to the basket and finishing it and i don't like keeping the ball on me for long time ..but i can make space for my team.. pass to them and make them finish but when they can't attack and finish they'll pass it to me coz i mostly stay outside running around waiting for chance to shoot. what position should i play ? Height 6.
Well I just came here to finally identify what should position I played because , way back there, my father train me how to play a good basketball player way back then, he always keep saying that, "You should never be contented in one role or position, You will get easy to be defended, You should know how to play the 5 position or simply You should play "All around" so that in any situation you can quickly adjust and make a good play," although my father's strict guidance and training where i want to quit playing basketball because how hard he train me but in the end , thanks to him I can play basketball And help my team to win our every game although I'm not saying that I master all the position, but what my father taught me the basics of those , In the end, I was the one who benefited all of the hellish training with my father, P.s my father is not a pro basketball player, He is only a regular player who loves to play basketball 😊
I can't do crossovers well and I have weak control over the ball, but I can do layups. I am 173 cm tall. I suck at shooting. What position should I play?
Nowadays in the NBA:
PG : Shoots 3s
SG : Shoots 3s
SF : Shoots 3s
PF : Shoots 3s
C : Shoots 3s
Noobie Pleya Ikr even really tall players play Point Guard now (Ben Simmons and Giannis Antetokounmpo
Jana Carmela Casimiro This is old school. Height doesn't matter that much. Kevin Durant is 7 ft.
@@carmsth magic a point guard tho

and yeah i only good at blocking and defending i recently play back - middle court and trying 3 pts and shoot
probably shooting guard since your shooting is high and your layup is average not a smll forward cuz ur layup r not there or any big
thanks mate im still trying lay up too ;)
Uganda Knuckles you should try playing the weight loss position
Uganda Knuckles power forward bro...
Im 14 and a 5'7 sf but i wanna play sg sometimes but my coach won't let me also will i get any taller?
Im tiny and it anoys me so bad, because I want to play small forward. Im 5,10 and 15 with most Small forwards being 6,3 or higher in my year.

Be a shooting guard
the thing is when i was 15 (now 16) i really wanted to be a center at the height of 5,11 but my coach was like no you have to play small forward sometimes your body dictates your position and even your skill set even now im around 6 ,3.5 pushing 6,4 i still play small forward with the occasional move to center while in game you are 15 so you will probably grow a little more
ikenna unamadu you should try being the water boy
ikenna unamadu I'm also 5,10 and 15 but instead of small forward I picked shooting guard and ive had a ton of success at that position
i feel bad for u mate

I'm 12, 5'6, I'm bad at defense but good at shooting and this is going to be my first year playing basketball for my school. What position should I be?
You should absolutely work on the weakest part of your game if you want a shot at playing regularly for your team. Try being a shooting guard to highlight that aspect of your game! Please share and subscribe, we respond to every comment in detail :)
Sikana English Okay thank you!
I’m the same
I am a 14year old 172cm in height and a good shooter and a good defender. I can block shots too. I can also finish at the rim. Which positions should i play??
I can't shoot, but I'm tall AF, so I guess I'm a rebounding and shot-blocking focused centre, or a power-forward who passes a lot XD
Same here, 6'6 myself
I'm 6'5" with a 6'9" wingspan, but a trash shot, but I can block well shots quite well
Y’all gotta get a jumper lmao you could be unstoppable
What should i play? I'm 14, 150 pounds, 6 ft and have a vertical of like 26 inches or something. I'm not very good at shooting from behind the three point line, but I'm good at layups, ofc.
Play center.
What if I'm twelve and 164 cm tall. What would be the best position for me? I'm not very good at shooting as well.
You seem tall for you age. If you aren't naturally attacking-minded then perhaps a more defensive position would be best for you. But honestly you are still young and can definitely work on your shooting ability if you want to be favoured for more attacking positions :)
Thanks!
Center

Leaf q
So shooting guards and point guards can both drive to the rim and finish?
I once sprayed my hand playing basketball and when I went to the doctor (idk if it was a nurse or doctor) I told him how I broke it he asked me if I played center I said yes because I just started getting into basketball and i just played in an after school club so we didn't really have positions and I still feel guilty about lying to the nurse/doctor

I'm a 5'5 small forward 13 yrs
Hey guys just started basketball half a year ago (used to play soccer and was one of the best in my state). I’m pretty athletic, my height is 6 foot and I’m 15 (projected to be 6’5 like my bro). If I learnt the game well and practiced hard would I be able to get into the nba?
lol 5’5 so I guess am a PG 🤣🤣
Only thing you can be 🤣
.. position are not limited to size. But they will only be slightly better. Ben Simmons is a 7 foot pg. Playing small ball is becoming more popular. It also depends on what league you are playing in
What should my position be am Good of driving the ball but I have also a potential in shooting at 3 point lane.what should position would I pick?
1:14 dude just threw the ball two passes away, instant bench if he ever played organised ball lol
minge9 so true
minge9 you never know the nearest guy could have a good defender
What if he was the only one open?
I don't know cuz I shud play small forward cuz I'm a decent shooter and have rlly good handles and good defenses. But I think I cud play centre because I'm 13 and I'm 6ft 1 so I'm d tallest. The thing is I love shooting and don't wanna be a centre just to get the rebound and pass it to someone else so they can shoot. Can some 1 help
Become an all around player and be able to play each position. If you decide to play pro, this will make you a flexible option and more likely to get a good role

Amen brother
What is the sons name
- I'm 5'4
- Good at passing
- Not so good at dribbling (because i easily get scared during 1on1 but im good when im free)
- Not so good at shooting midrange probably 3-5 out of 10 tries when cold but when hot 5-7 out of 10
- Not so good with 3s
- Good at Layups
- Good at rebounding because of high verticals despite of height (but sometimes reckless and short so i prefer to not get the rebound and give it to the taller team mates
- Good at Defending
- Good at stealing the ball (but also reckless sometimes)
- Get blocks sometimes (probably 2-3 blocks per game near the 3pt line and midrange)
I know I suck but I want to know what position should i really go with to practice on it.
maybe power forward
Thanks bro
Thank you for marking this before i watched this I had no idea which any of them meant but this is really helpful
thankyouiu verry much big help for me
You're welcome :-)
I'm a small forward and I love it
Thank you! I get it now!
im 6ft (182cm) and im 13. what positon should i play
I not good at driving to the basket and finishing it and i don't like keeping the ball on me for long time ..but i can make space for my team.. pass to them and make them finish but when they can't attack and finish they'll pass it to me coz i mostly stay outside running around waiting for chance to shoot. what position should i play ? Height 6.
Basketball tryouts soon trying to figure out what position I should play I’m 5’4” 7th grade 120 pounds and suggestions for positions would be helpful
Can we go anywhere while dribling on the court
Im 5'4, can play good perimeter defense,can shoot mid range, good acce l and decel, and rebound. What do you think i should play
Well I just came here to finally identify what should position I played because , way back there, my father train me how to play a good basketball player way back then, he always keep saying that, "You should never be contented in one role or position, You will get easy to be defended, You should know how to play the 5 position or simply You should play "All around" so that in any situation you can quickly adjust and make a good play," although my father's strict guidance and training where i want to quit playing basketball because how hard he train me but in the end , thanks to him I can play basketball And help my team to win our every game although I'm not saying that I master all the position, but what my father taught me the basics of those , In the end, I was the one who benefited all of the hellish training with my father,
P.s my father is not a pro basketball player, He is only a regular player who loves to play basketball 😊
Wow thanks I loved the video but can you pls tell me what is the important role of them all ?
Thanks for your comment. All the roles are explained in the video one by one! Don't forget ot check out our other basketball videos :)
I’m watching this entire playlist bc it’s my first week of playng basketball, we only had 6 weeks of practice, and my game is in 1 and 36 minutes
I can't do crossovers well and I have weak control over the ball, but I can do layups. I am 173 cm tall. I suck at shooting. What position should I play?
