power forwards

Paint-dominating basketball positions

Power forwards are basketball players who typically occupy the position closest to the basket alongside the center.

They combine size with mobility, responsible for rebounding, interior defense, and scoring near the rim.

The position has evolved to include outside shooting: Modern power forwards need to stretch the floor.

In hockey, a power forward is a physically imposing player who combines skill with aggression.
