I’m 6′4 190 pounds and 11 percent body fat. What is a nice weight and body fat percentage for me if I want to play Shooting Guard or Small Forward?

    don’t worry about body fat percent, rather you want your weight to be at the level that gives you the most energy and strength without tiring… concentrate on flexibility, strength, endurance, control, and accuracy… you do that and your body fat percentage will sort itself out

    a little more or less shouldn’t hurt :)
    just don’t drink soda or anything :D good luck.
