Small forward
National Basketball Association/Basketball Position

The small forward (SF) is a versatile basketball position, standing between the shorter guards and the taller power forwards and centers in professional basketball. Known for their agility and strength, small forwards contribute both offensively and defensively by scoring points, defending, creating lanes, and rebounding. Their playing style varies widely, including sharpshooters like Kevin Durant and physical players like LeBron James. The NBA small forwards typically measure 6'6" to 6'9", while in the WNBA, they range from 6'0" to 6'2". Renowned small forwards include Maya Moore and Hall of Famers such as Julius Erving and Larry Bird.
