Forwards are primarily there for shooting under the basket and rebounding/blocking out. In a lot of plays they're used to screen or set picks for guards as well.
If you need help with your dribbling the easiest thing to do is to get some cones or chairs in a line and dribble between/around them. Practice makes perfect.

Forwards are the jack-of-all-trade players. Must defend, rebound, shoot, set screens. Some dribbling skills are necessary, though not as emphasized as guards. Traditionally, small forwards (SF) are like guards, slashing to the basket, and shooting from mid- to long-distance. Power forwards (PF) protect the basket and rebound more.

The forwards job is jump shots, rebounds, picks and screens, and also back up. Forwards are often called upon to reset plays, make passes and play inside when a man is missing.

Well if you are asking to improve your Forward Skills....you dont have to be professional at dribbling
Best bet would be to Work on Rebounding,Blocking And Defense. Especially if you allready have your jumpshot on Point.

A Forward's main job is to play well and help "forward" his team's chances of winning along.

forwards are shooters, rebounders, and they box out. they get the ball under the basket and they shoot.
