off guard
The shooting guard (SG), also known as the two, two guard or off guard, is one of the five traditional positions in a regulation basketball game. A shooting guard's main objective is to score points for their team and steal the ball on defense.

A player who can switch between playing shooting guard and small forward is known as a swingman.
