2021 Rankings Postional Breakdown: Small Forwards
Anthony Peters
<p>Small Forwards can be one of the tougher positions to get a firm grasp on as a player. While many of these guys play more on the wing, I look for players that can play inside-out and are able to compete on the blocks just as much as on the perimeter. Ranked players have to show me toughness as rebounders and as scorers, and again, athleticism plays a part as well. Below I take a look at the SF position and recap the Top 10.</p>
