Answer 1

Run down the court as fast as you can to catch a quick pass from the point guard to make an easy layup for 2 points.

Keep moving on the outside areas of the floor and look for a pass from other players.

Drive the ball inside for an easy layup if defenders are not in your way. If defenders step in front of you, go around them or pass the ball to an open teammate.

Pass the ball to an open power forward or center to get 2 easy points.

Take an open jump shot when defenders are busy with other players.

Rush back to play defense on the outer edges in zone defense or with the man you are assigned to in man-to-man defense.

Answer 2

A combination of shoot-dribble-pass-post. Just follow the steps of LeBron James :P

Answer 3

fundamentals are key.  Look at other small fowards thats you like and drive to become like them.  Some are awesome at rebounding (odom and marion) some are shut down defenders (bowen and artest) some are pure shooters (kapono and korver) but being balanced is also good.  Working on speed and hops would be good since pf doesn't need to be really quick nor have to contest alot of outside jumpers, and since people are going to be taller you need to get above them for rebounds.
