Could be a shooting guard, but I'd seriously start working on my ball handling skills and continue to practice outside shooting. Don't know how much you'll grow as you are only 12, but if you can become a better ball handler then you could play point as well. Good luck!

You're about exactly my age and height. I'm 5"1, 11 and a guard. I can play both but I end up as a 2 guard. I have really good ball handling but can shoot well. Just work on your ball handling and keep up your shooting. Since I'm a good shooter and have good ball handling skills I can play either. Wherever they put you is where you belong. I think you should be a shooting guard.

"I've missed more than 9,000 shots in my career. I've lost almost 300 games. 26 times, I've been trusted to take the game winning shot and missed. I've failed over and over and over again in my life. And that is why I succeed."-Michael Jordan

Well when i played basketball this year i played SG, SF, PF, and C because i was tall...but i culld also handle the ball...it all depends if you get your dribbling stats up.
