Whether it be their ability to shoot the three-point shot or having to defend more agile wings, the argument could be made that the power forward position is the most difficult to play in today’s game.
Whether that remains true or not is irrelevant though. The bottom line, though, is that, if nothing else, it’s one of one the most important positions. You HAVE to have a big that can stretch the floor.
