The most important position is the coach:) He does substitutions when you need ... and when not:)

Its really hard to say, but I would reckon PG or SF is the most important, although every position has a defined role to play. IMO the least important is PF or SG simply because there are other positions that can cover its responsibilities. (although the converse may be said as well but generally, centers rebound and plays the inside better than PF and generally, PG runs the plays and can also shoot the ball as well. SF just does everything and connects the different aspect of the plays)

Couldn't split PF & PG for me. A good PG makes the offense sing while mist mismatches seem to happen at PF, offering the best scoring potential.

If you consider the PG to be "the play maker" and not a shooter, he depends on his teammates to score. Personally, I have a PG who cannot score but is a great play maker. He is very important to my team but useless if no one can score off his passes. Which leads me to my SG who is a great scorer. Now you can argue who is more important.
I think we could argue this way about any position. The most important "position" in my opinion is the team. All five players combined should cover up all skills to an extent that are necessary that wins games.

personally i see high scoring potential at the guard positions, my PF usually score around 15 points per game is clearly my best player and should be also a walking missmatch.

But normally that no good enough for the league ladders, which are dominates from guards and SF.

But how eastend boy said, the team matters and there are different ways for succes and i am quite sure that my PF contributes a lot

but my argument was that PG by himself can be a playmaker and a scorer at the same time. You can say that SG can do both as well but if defined by their roles, its easier for a PG to do both since he has the ball all the time.

I don't think it is necessarily like that. I have played my actual PG at SG for a few seasons now, due to 1pos.training of my trainees, and he still performed like a PG (week shooting/good play making) while my SG-trainee who played at PG mostly has been an outstanding scorer. Check out my players Hampsas and Zelmenis in season 15 to see what I mean.

Im gonna go with SF on this one.

He is the guy that can be the most versitile. He could be a good rebounder, good outsider shooting, good driver, good passer, good inside shooter, and I believe as a general rule, whatever offence you play tends to maximise his strengths.
If you play an inside offence, and he has good inside stats, he becomes a third inside player. If you play an inside offence and his strengths are outside, he becomes the third outside shooting player. Or again, if he has awesome passing, he becomes the link man into your PF/C.
Same could be said for outside offences.

You could have guards that are great at shooting, but if you play Low post, you arent neccassarily maximising their strengths. But a SF strengths will be maximised across the majority of offenses.

Plus he is hardest player to guard. PF's and C's you need really good inside D. guards, good outside D... SF you need both, because in your league, against different opponents, you will face both Outside playing and Inside playing SF's.

If you have an SF who is strong at every skill, than yes.

Many teams play an SG-like player at the SF-spot and play outside offense. In that respect, yes, they maximize his strength. He can surely make a huge difference, but is he then more important than the Guard who is a great shooter as well and/or has to feed him with assists?
The same goes with inside tactics. The big men would have the major impact overall. As I said before, the SF could make a big difference. But to call it the most important position? I think I wouldn't go this far.
