The fullbacks and point guards form the team's back line, commonly referred to as the "backcourt". These two players are generally faster, more technical and more mobile than the average, multiplying their runs during games, whether to dribble towards the basket and fix the defense, or to make the opposing defense move.

The ideal sneaker for this player profile is lightweight, preferably with a low upper, for greater freedom of movement and a more natural rolling of the foot. In terms of cushioning, a configuration that is closer to the sol will provide a better Court-Feel, for more incisive movements and quicker changes of direction.
