off the ball and likes to shoot but can't rebound?
the best place for you would be shooting guard
rebounds are needed from forward positions and since that isn't your strong suit and from your height and weight the best place for you would be the off guard where you can shoot, aren't relied on for rebounds, and aren't the primary ball handler

It depends on how the rest of the team looks like. If you are the tallest at 5'11", even though you can't rebound or play down low, you gonna end up PF or C. By default, the coach will put you there. But at 5'11" you are the smallest, then PG or SG. If you had a choice, I say SF. You can be used as off-ball help for your shot blocking and quickness.

Small Forward definitely. Small Forwards can shoot and play off the ball and can sometimes block. Rebounding however really isn't there job, but they should get around 4 rebounds a game. GOOD LUCK!

I would recommend point guard simply because of your weight. You "could" play shooting guard but I would want mine to be taller and heavier than you. A shooting guard needs to be able to "shoot" from all over the floor, including the paint, which at your current weight probably wouldn't be your strong suit. You're small and fast, and if you can really shoot like you say you can, being a point guard is right up your alley kid (unless you can't dribble to save your life, in which case you'll be riding the pine until you figure out how).

If you handle the ball well try a guard position. Otherwise by your description you sound kinda like a forward if you work on the rebounding.

On offence tight end is perfect, you don't need to be a great sprinter to play the position. Though the speed you do have give you an advantage on most slower linebackers. An defensive end on defense, your height and weight is nearly perfect for defensive end. Small enough to keep contain and quickness to beat lineman with your speed. An big enough to engage lineman with your frame.

Well in my opinion a SG i mean its ok if you are a liitle short but the blocking can remain with you as a SG like wade. He is a awsome shot blocker. HAve to go with SG

Small or Power Forward

either point guard or guard, depends if your good at dribbling or not. talk to the coach and tell them what u told us and ask their suddjestion. but if your almost 6 ft they'll probably want you to play post and the only way u'll ever be good at that is by practicing.
