What's your favorite type of player in terms of position, skills, height, mentality, attitude, etc?
My favorite type of player is the tall to very tall player, normally power forwards and centres, but not just any. I usually like power forwards with above average mobility, who can run the floor and have a decent 3-point percentage. Bargnani, who I have started to admire very much indeed, fits this description perfectly, as well as Nowitzki, Kukoč, etc.
As for centres, I don't really like the "pure" type of centre, i.e., a player that rebounds good enough, intimidates and scores easy baskets in the low post. I tend to admire centres that can shoot from the outside with effectiveness (also 3-pointers), that have reasonable mobility and coordination and that can dish now and then. Sabonis, of course, is the typical example, even in what height is concerned, since I like very tall centres. Of course an imposing presence is also important, but that's very subjective in my case, since I don't like Shaq, but I like Sofo. And that's also when the mentality and attitude come up, if a player has a selfish or arrogant attitude, I generally don't like him, no matter how skilled and good he is.
