The shooting guard ( SG ), also known as two or off guard , is one of five traditional positions in basketball game regulation. The main goal of the shooting guard is to score points for his team and steal the ball in defense. Some teams ask their shooting guards to carry the ball as well; this player is known colloquially as a guard combo. A player who can switch between playing guard shooting and a small attacker is known as a swingman. In the NBA, guard shots usually range from 6 '3 "(1.91 m) to 6' 7" (2.01 m) and 5 '9 "(1.75 m) to 6' 0" (1.83 m ) in WNBA.

Characteristics and style of play
The Lee Basketball Handbook by Lee Rose depicts a sniper as someone whose primary role is to score points. As the name implies, most of the shooting guards are good long-range shooters, typically averaging 35-40 percent from a distance of three points. Many guards also shoot strong and athletic, and have the ability to get into the paint and go to the basket.
Usually, guards shoot higher than the point guard. Elevation at various positions; many bigger shooting guards also play small forward. The photographer must be a good handling ball and can pass well enough, although passing is not their top priority. Because good shooting keepers can attract multiple teams, they often become a support team ball handler to the point keeper and usually get sufficient amount of assists.
Photographer must be able to score in various ways, especially at the end of a close match when the defense is more tight. They should also have a good free-throw percentage, reliable in close-range games and to prevent opposing players from fouling. Due to the high level of offensive attacking skills that guards require, they are often the choice of the team's primary score, and sometimes offenses are built around them.
In the NBA, there are several shootings called as player "3 and D". Terms 3 and D imply that the player is a good 3 point shooter who can also play a solid defense (sometimes elite). Players 3 and D have become very important because the game swayed into a perimeter-oriented.
Good shooting shelters can often play point guard to some extent. It is usually accepted that the point guard must have the ball in their hands at most in the game, but sometimes the shooting guard has a significant influence on the team where he handles the ball very often, to the point where the guard point can be reduced to a spare ball handler or spotlight shooter .
