Our NBA position rankings series ends with the power forwards. Will newly acquired Serge Ibaka crack the top 10?
The power forward position has become one of the most important positions in the NBA.
Power forwards have changed dramatically in the past few season as a large number of power forwards do not roam the paint like they used to. They stand on the perimeter and use their deep range to disrupt defenses. They also use their athleticism to cover opposing guards near the 3-point line.
The power forward position is interesting, to say the least.
If someone were to take a snapshot of NBA power forwards, it would be hard to find a correlation when it comes to size. Players like Anthony Davis and Kristaps Porzingis are long, lanky seven-footers that block shots. While Draymond Green and Thaddeus Young can go out to the perimeter and guard much smaller players.
The versatility that some NBA power forwards bring to the table is eye-opening and that is a theme when breaking down players that sit atop this position’s rankings. This was a tough list to put together that should spark some great debate.
