What position is PG basketball?

PG is the English acronym for Point Guard, which is a position in basketball.

The Point Guard, also known as the organizing guard, is a regular position in the basketball lineup. The point guard is often the organizer of the team's offense and decides to pass the ball to the right player at the right time by controlling the ball. It is the person who has the most opportunities with the ball on the court. He has to bring the ball safely from the backcourt to the frontcourt and then pass it to other teammates, which gives others a chance to score. A competent point guard has to be able to bring the ball across half-court with no problem with only one person defending him. Then, he also has to be a good passer and be able to get the ball where it is supposed to go most of the time: sometimes a gap where he can shoot, sometimes a better position to guide the ball.
