In the game of basketball, there are five players on the court at all times. Depending on the makeup of the team, there are various combinations of types of players a team might have on the floor at any given time. A point guard, however, is always a constant. 

A point guard is also commonly known as “the floor general,” the leader on the floor, the distributor, the player who will take the ball up the floor and set up the team’s offense. A great point guard can read the defense, know an opposing team’s tendencies and put teammates in a position to score.Â
