The Center position in Basketball is definitely the heart of the frontcourt. Ideally, a center is the tallest person on any given team. Defensively, a center rebounds, defends the post to prevent easy buckets, and plays help defense. Offensively, a center plays the post and battles the opposing center for a position to score, sets screens, and go for offensive rebounds. The thing that separates Centers are the attributes of finesse and power. Finesse centers use fakes, spin moves, and speed to blow by defenders using hook shots, fadeaways, etc. Power centers use brute force to plow their way to the basket.
