combo guard
Two-position basketball player
A combo guard in basketball is a player who can play both guard positions—point guard and shooting guard—switching roles as needed.
The term reflects versatility rather than a distinct position: a combo guard handles the ball and runs plays like a point guard but also scores like a shooting guard.
He's listed as a combo guard because he can do both.
