Hola Mary... Creo que Mike y trans4u tienen razón. Quizás en baloncesto se utilice más "guard"... Aunque es cierto que he visto algunas referencias con "winger", creo que se aplica más en el fútbol y en hockey. ¡Perdona el malentendido!

Explanation: Shooting guard
The shooting guard (also called the "two"), as its name suggests, is usually the team's best shooter. A quality shooting guard should be able to consistently hit 20-foot/6-meter jump shots. Besides being able to shoot the ball, shooting guards must also be able to have good ball-handling skills because they have to be able to create their own shot off the dribble. Finally, they should also be able to come off of any pick and roll and still make a shot without the ball touching the ground. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Basketball_position
Alero: Tienen buena técnica y acierto en el tiro exterior y también domina el bote para poder penetrar a canasta.

Since it comes from "ala", which, of course means "wing," and there are only three positions in basketball: center, forward and guard, and the guard plays on the outside, I assume this is it.

confirmation - there are two types of guards - the point guard (alero fuerte) and the shooting guard. The point guard runs teh offense, makes the assists (helps others make points), etc.

Note the following reference:
As it clearly states, the "alero" is either the "point guard" or the "shooting guard"

Explanation: It is definately small forward.
"Alero:" Es generalmente una altura intermedia entre los jugadores interiores y los exteriores. Su juego está equilibrado entre la fuerza y el tiro. Es el jugador más equilibrado del equipo. En defensa, suele ser el jugador más importante, por su capacidad de combinar altura con velocidad. También suele culminar la mayoría de los contraataques.
