Basketball positions are described by numbers, but that has nothing to do with the players uniform number, so don't get confused. Point guards are number one, shooting guards are two, small forwards are three, power forwards are four and centers are five.

As mentioned, this has nothing to do with the numbers on a players uniform. Lebron James has worn number six on his uniform for his tenure with both the Cleveland Cavaliers and the Miami Heat, but his position number would remain four even if he were to change his uniform number.

When I first started watching basketball, I was oblivious to this and could never figure why they were referencing a player called "number five" when no one on that team was wearing that number. Now I know better, and hopefully so do you.
