What would you like to see in a power forward? If you could build or create the perfect power forward what tendencies would you want in such a player?
Size wise you would be looking for someone in the height range of say six foot 10 to say 7 feet. Weight wise you want him fast so in the range of 245 to 265.
Now the other attributes:
Speed and quickness
Athleticism
Defensive Presence
Control the paint
Ability to guard all power forwards fast or strong
Good shot, both inside and have 3 point range
Shot blocker
Lockdown defender
Good foul shooter in the 80%+ range
Take his man off the dribble to the hoop
Great post moves on offense facing or with back to the basket
Good rebounder
High basketball IQ
Good Passer
Work well in the pick and roll
Yi RA SW

Now the nets have 3 power forwards. They have Yi, Ryan and swat. I believe between all three potential star power forwards on the nets collectively have all the attributes to be the perfect power forward Maybe Frank can figure out a way to have all three play power forward by committee.
