There are 5 general positions: point guard, shooting guard, small forward, power forward, and center.
Point guard: The 1 position. One of the shortest players on the court. This is usually the best ball handler of the team. Most of the time, the point guard had the most assists. The point guard also can control the pace of the game.
Shooting guard: The 2 position. The team's best shooter. This person should be able to hit a jump shot from any where and should also know how to dribble pretty good.
Small forward: The 3 position. The small forward is a guard, but also a big man too. They just happen to be too short for center and too tall for guard. They're the most versitle player on the court.
Power forward: The 4 position. Just like the center, but more moblie and probably a little shorter. They have to know how to take jump shots also, even though their on the other side of the center.
Center: The 5 position. The strongest player on the team and usually the tallest. The center scores mostly off of passes down low (ex. lay-ups, alleys, and dunks).
Those are the 5 general positions. The are 4 more that aren't mainly recognized: Swingman, Point-forward, Tweener, and Forward-Center.
Swingman: a person who plays shooting guard and small forward. Ex: George "Iceman" Gervin
Point-forward: a person who is a forward, but had the attributes of a point guard. Ex: Scottie Pippen
Tweener: a guard that acts as a big man or a big man with the height of a guard. Ex: Charles Barkley
Forward-Center: a person who is alternated between center and forward. Ex: Marcus Camby
