Point Guard: You have to oversee the defense and see what they give you. You take care of the ball throughout the game. Your leadership shouldn’t be questioned. Quick and decisive.
Picture Perfect: Chris Paul / Rajon Rondo

Shooting Guard: You have to guard, probably the best players in the L. You have to have a sharp shot or slashing ability. Defense is necessary. Speed and agility are complementary.
Picture Perfect: Kobe Bryant / Jamal Crawford

Small Forward: You have to guard some of the best athletes in the L. Do you need a jumpshot? Probably not. You do need to be solid defensively and the way most SFs play, you need to be a decent rebounder and a pretty good passer. Basically a Mr Everything.
Picture Perfect: LeBron James / Stephen Jackson

Power Forward: Decently quick and have a good mid range jump shot. Good face-up game and a good back to the basket game. Very good defense player. Very good rebounder. Have the ability to block shots.
Picture Perfect: Kevin Garnett / Amar’e Stoudemire (with defense)

Center: Strong and powerful. Block shots and a good back to the basket game. Jumpshot isn’t necessary but it’s nice to have. Very good defensively. The quarterback of the defense.
Picture Perfect: Dwight Howard / Marcus Camby

Now the question: What position is the most difficult to play?

[OldSkoolBasketballParticipant]

point guards and centers.

Definitely Point guard. You can be a solid center simply with size. A point guard is a leader, and if you can’t lead your team on the court the team will struggle.

seeems to be the obvious choice but i think SG can also be a tough position 2 play. It seems like their are jus so many guys out there who can score the rock and small forward is also a tough position 2 consider

Point Guard is the toughest position to play. To be a point guard, well a good one, you have to be a leader. You control the flow of the game, you tell players where to be, you create shots for your teamates as well as yourself.

Shooting Guards don’t necessarily have to guard the team’s best player. Example, Kobe’s a good defender but Ron Artest draws the toughest assignments. Bruce Bowen was a small forward so you don’t have to guard your same position anymore.

Think of the final four teams right now:

Steve Nash – One of the greatest PG’s of all time, 2-time MVP
Jameer Nelson – creative scorer, All-star
Rajon Rondo – All-Star, Monsterous postseason, NBA Champ
Derek Fisher – (I know he’s the oddball here) But he is clutch, Numerous big-time playoff series, title winning shots, Ice-cold veins in the postseason when it matters most

Point Guard is the toughest position in the league to play, especially rookie generals.

[Tha King2121Participant]

the most physical position.

Second is the pg, like theres good pg’s and then the next level
like jameer nelson is good but cant pass, its hard to be the perfit pg

[MrAnalyst]

Think about it. Who would you rather have guard you, 6’0 Chris Paul or 6’11 Dwight Howard?
