Swing Man
A player who can be used at two positions, usually guard and forward.

Although it is possible for either the strong-side guard (2), or weakside guard (1) to make the entry pass to "Opportunity Offense" swing man (4), as he breaks around (5), we know from experience a pass from (2) is more desirable.
O1 & O2 are guards.
O3 is a swing man, either a forward or guard depending upon the situation.
O4 & O5 are power forwards.
Postions 4 and 3 are forwards, the player playing closer to the basket is the power forward and the other foward may play awayfrom th basket more and is called a small forward or a swing man. The guard roles are a little more distinctive.
