Many shooting guards could act as an emergency PG or as a small forward. They’re usually taller than the PG and have decent passing skills, though that isn’t their priority. Most of them will be skilled at long-range shooting, and many are athletic enough to drive the ball to the basket as well. Shooting Guard (SG): The SG is, first and foremost, responsible for scoring points. They don’t score often since they’re job is to get the ball to the players who have the best chance of scoring.

Point guards control the offense this way by carrying out plays. They specialize in controlling the ball and passing to the right players at the right time. Point Guard (PG): The PG is responsible for the flow of the game.

I’m going to explain really quickly what each position is so no one gets confused. Let’s figure out what the best– okay, the second best team in Japan would look like.īy the way, I’m using the same teams that I used in my “ Games I Wanted to See” post, though I can’t really talk about every player or position from each team because not all of them have sufficient information on their skills. TL DR in bold. I’m also using the KnB wiki for this information. There will probably be some semblance of spoilers in here, so watch it. I’m also including the Uncrowned Kings because there are other players on this list that are close to or on par with their level of play. I will include Kuroko because, despite him not having an official position, it sounds interesting to talk about him as though he were a small forward (which is the only position left unfilled within Seirin’s starters). I’m not including Kagami in the power forward category because he’s on par or potentially better than Aomine, so it poses the same problem. The reason for that is because if I ask the question “who is the best point guard?” the obvious answer is going to be Akashi.

I’m not including the Generation of Miracles boys, and I don’t think I’m going to include Kagami either. So, I wanted to compare the other players in Kuroko no Basket and figure out who is the best in each position.
