Answer 1

Shooting Guard not to shoot but to guard the other teams best shooter i think you will make a pretty good defender

Answer 2

Well lets see...definitely not point gaurd. Let me put it this way, if you're pretty tall for your town you should play post. It sounds like you'd be strong for that positionand you'd dominate the paint. BUT if they're are tall guys around 6'7 that majority are post in your city be i guess a shooting gaurd or forward. It really depends though. Its cuz, if you were to live in a city like mine--majority mexicans-- 6'2 is tall for us. But there are cities that have guys that are tall...

waterboy

Answer 4

Depends how tough your competition is... if your tall enough to play power forward, play it. being fast actually helps a lot in the post... but if your serious about basketball, start working on your shot... you cant get far playing post at 6'2 lol

Answer 5

your sorta like me

i would say a forward

Answer 6

SG. with your size and height. imagine if you don't grow, you still would be a good size for sg, but if you do grow more like 6'7.you could be a dominant sf.  i would not play down low now because you might stay the same height, and thus small for your position when your a senior. Work as if your a guard.  make sure to practice footwork. once you have a killer first step, along with your strong ability to take it to the basket, there should be no stopping you. just work on shooting, take a lot of shots and be committed.

Answer 7

shooting guard or small forward

you would dominate those positions

but work on your range

hope i helped

Answer 8

I would say small forward or shooting guard since you can drive and shoot midrange shots but it all depends on your coach.

Answer 9

I dont know what some of the people on here are talking about. If anything I would say Point guard. I dont know why people are saying forwards and one guy said a center! Your not that tall to be those positions, just improve a little on your driving and outside shot and u'll be alright.

Answer 10

Small forward, because you play defense, and you drive. You have the characteristics of a SF, just not the size. But then again, you're a freshman and this is highschool basketball.

So you would fit in there well. Maybe increase your range a bit.

Answer 11

power guard.
