Here's my "little thing" to add to this thread. Somebody said that they get bored in the C position. Well, here's one small thing to add to your "C" responsibilities.
When the post player has the ball right in front of the Lead, and then dribbles or pivots away from the baseline (toward the Trail) and then continues into the lane and shoots, that play is the Center's primary responsibility. The ball is coming right at the C, and the C should take anything that happens on that move. Train yourself to extend your vision just a little when the low-post player spins away from the baseline.
