The game of basketball has changed and evolved in many ways in the last 20 years. One of the most glaring is the role that forwards and posts now play. A modern-day forward can handle the ball, pass the rock, and drain 3-pointers. Many big-men are picking and popping instead of screening and rolling or rim-running. When is the last time you saw a high-low? It does not happen very often anymore. The game is all about spreading the floor, shooting threes, and attacking off the bounce. Do not get me wrong, I like the old-school post that carves out space on the block and does work with his back to the basket. We still have traditional post players on this list and they are very effective. Depending on the type of basketball you like to watch, we have a great group of forwards to look at for everyone’s liking.
