Template:Basketball Positions A shooting guard is often shorter, leaner, and quicker than forwards. They are often the best jump shooters in the game, but can also drive to the basket. Many shooting guards can also play small forward. A shooting guard should be a good ball handler who is a good passer. Shooting guards focus on scoring, and allow the point guard to focus on passing. Most shooting guards are between 6 ft 2 in (1.88 m) such as Ben Gordon and 6 ft 9 in (2.06 m) such as Tracy McGrady. They weigh from 190 to 240 lb (86 to 109 kg).
Michael Jordan, one of the best-known basketball players in history, was a shooting guard, and helped define the role of the modern position. Other famous shooting guards of the past include Clyde Drexler, Jerry West, Walt Frazier and John Havlicek. Notable shooting guards who are currently active include Kobe Bryant, Dwyane Wade, Tracy McGrady, Ray Allen, Vince Carter, Richard Hamilton, Manu Ginobili, and Paul Pierce.Template:Hoops-stub
