Question

:)

Answer 1

rebounding. helping the center get the boards is one of the tasks of the sf's and the pf's. guys like battier and prince in the sf position and dyes and KG in the pf position are good at these.

shotblocking and alteration of inside shots. this is task is mainly done by the pf's. but there are also sf's that are good at this. these guys are namely kirilenko, prince, and battier.

shoot the mid-range jumpshots. again, this job is mainly for the Pf's. with guards like cp3 and williams being able to drive to the hoop, kick out passes to open big man are now part of the plays in basketball.

post up plays and scoring inside points. this is what most pf's are good at. guys like KG, duncan, and sheed are some of the players who are good at posting up opponents and scoring inside points. sf's can also do this. guys like tmac, pierce, and prince try to post up their defenders whenever they have the size and power against them.

driving to the hoop. this is part of the job description of a sf.

if you want to know more about what basketball forwards do, i suggest you watch the games of tmac, kobe, KG, duncan, pierce, amare, marion, vince carter, and iguodala. you'll learn a lot from them.

Answer 3

There are two forwards that are needed in your five players on the court...

First is the Small Forward also known as the Shooting forward... his main job is to look for holes on the opponent's defense or if there is none try to slash inside and create holes..... Try to take advantage with those holes or the opponent's mistakes on the defense and then.... Score!....

Second is the Power Forward... he is also known as the back-up center.... Because his job is only to help the center on the rebounding department..... Score a little and mainly pound his body inside!....

Answer 4

rebound....but thats all old school(putting responsibilities to positions)     players now can do everything some not as good as others but lebron can play 1 thru five...durant 1 thru 3 ...rasheed or odom  4 thru 1 all those for example.....if your a small foward you might just be a utility guys cuz your big and can move ...not for scoring...just defense play set-up hard matchups....to creat mismatches....not even rebounding becuase they may never see the paint as far as having a play for them.....
