Basketball Trivia (general) - Guard positions


Expert: Bill Emerson - 3/21/2007

Question
My son was recently in a basketball camp where they rated and labeled players.  He was labeled as a "CG".  I am familiar with Point Guards and Shooting Guards, but what is a "CG".

thanks

Answer
It stands for combination guard a point guard who can also move over to shooting guard.  This is a great postion for your son because someone must feel your son has point guard skills along with shooting guard size or ability or both.  If it was my son I would really work on point guard skills along with on the ball defense because many coaches say every good team must have a good point guard to run the team and the ability to stop the other teams point guard.
