What is the easiest Basketball position to play?

Personally, I think center is the easiest, but I don't know. What do you guys think the easiest Basketball position is?What is the easiest Basketball position to play?
it depends upon the system that is being employed and upon how you define hard. If hard is physical work or if it is decision making, or if it is some combination between the two of them.



Overall though i feel u are giving centers a bad rap. I don't know what position you play, i assume not center, but you may not be aware of the decisions, especially on defense, (for non-NBA centers) because outside the NBA zones that clog up the middle can be played, which i am sure u r aware of.



If u r referring to which position is easiest to learn i would agree with you and say center, but if ur asking what position is it easiest to be a dominant force at I would probably say that center is one of the hardest positions (hence why there are almost 0 good centers in the NBA) and that explains why oden is such a big deal.
small forward because all you do is shoot the ball and slash to the ring and make some 3's another good position is shooting guard. because its just like the small forward but you have to shoot more freethrows..What is the easiest Basketball position to play?
shootingguard like mcgrady and bryant have showed us all u need is the ball 30 times hit ten and get a shoe deal i mean point guards have to pass small forward usealy has to score and defend and big men got to score rebound and block
center is definitely the easiest, though none of them are 'easy'

but stillWhat is the easiest Basketball position to play?
Center is more based on size than any other position, so I agree with you.
I think the easiest position to play on any basketball team is fulfilling the role of the 12th man, sitting on the bench. Your most important job is to keep the bench warm for the players in the game on the chance that during the last 2 minutes, your team is either way ahead or far behind. In either case, you need to keep your seat warm for the player you go in for.
anyone who says center is dumb.i have played center for a long time and it is hard. its hard if u r a good center. U gotta have post moves and u got guys double teaming u and little guys fouling u but refs don't call it cuz of your size. U gotta rebound and if u don't rebound u always get the blame wether it wus ur man who didn't get boxed out or not. U also have to block shots and play help defense when a guy gets beat. Center is not the easiest so i would have to say it is shooting guard cuz all u do is dribble and shoot.
CENTER - you just block, dunk, and compete for some rebounds.
If the center is the easiest position to play, why are there not enough quality centers in the NBA? I bet you can not name the top six because the skill level is about equal after that ranking.



The easiest position to play is shooting guard/small forward because you shoot the most. Everybody wants to shoot the ball.

It looks easy to play Center. But its not. I use to play center when i was younger, I hated it. If a opponents get a easy layup, you get the finger, if you miss a rebound you get the finger. You need to stick your man, watch out for screens,backdoor, and player penetrating, and get all the rebound. It is hard. There is no easy position, everyone one on the team has a role and it all fit to make a team win or even lose.

Compare to the position Center is because you need to tall and be strong not much athletism to be involved
Shooting guard is easiest. Your main responsibility on offense is to run away from whoever is guarding you.



There are no easy positions on defense.
point guard...the center is down low battling for rebounds
From experience i'd say Center.
Center
I don't think you can determine the easiest position in general. It all depends on what play you'll be running in the next offensive set or what the the opposing team will be setting up so you can determine your next defensive scheme.



For example, say you're running a basic princeton offense with a strong side mid-range decoy then the SG will be the easiest coz he just have to make it to a certain position while the SF or C sets the screen to the PF for a PG pass down low or alley-oop.



Defensively, if the opposing team runs the triangle then whoever is the focal point of the triangle which normally is the C then the defending C has the most difficult position.



So you can not determine the easiest position in general, it depends on what play is run.
Center is the easiest because most centers don't really have any basketball talent, they're just tall and wait down in the paint for somebody to throw them the ball so they can either slam it, or try some turn around jump shot. Shaq isn't even really talented. If he wasn't as big as he is, he wouldn't even be in the league anymore probably. You give me one player that Shaq could beat one on one. He's too slow to stop anybody, and he can't create his own shot without just backing you down with his girth and slamming on you.
No position is easier than the other. The point guard is an extension of the coach when he's on the court. The shooting guard has to be aggresive offensively and defensively. The small forward has to be a prime defender and rebounder. The power forward and center have to bang with other players under the basket throughout the game so they extend alot of energy.
Shooting guard. All you have to do is wait around for the rock, and launch it.
Personally I hink it is center. Since it is mainly based on brute strength and size and not skill level. Their main job is just to post up and spread the offense. The guards are the ones who have to handle the ball as is the small forward and in the new NBA even the power forward has to be able to dribble the ball, centers really don't. Neither do they have to shoot threes or make great passes.
