text: should the shortest person on a basketball team be the point guard? whats your opinion? where a person plays should not be based on their size, but their skills. a point guard needs to handle the ball well, see the floor well, pass well. a center needs to play well with their back to the basket, rebound well and maintain position. some tall players would make better point guards and some shorter players could make good centers ... but decide where to play people by their skills, not just their size
