lol carmelo isnt going to avg 30ppg next season
[QUOTE=miles berg]Josh actually plays that little thing we call defense. He is just as good of a scorer as Lewis but does other things too.
Rashard is a one trick pony. He is as soft as charmin.[/QUOTE]he's playing out of position. Yeah he's 6'10 but he is skinny and he cant defend actual PFs in the NBA. Move him back to SF and he'll do better.
[QUOTE=brwnman]I don't know about TOP 10, but i'll give you my top 5.
1. Luol Deng
2. Luol Deng

I'd take Caron Butler over Melo.

[QUOTE=Kiddlovesnets]Following this thread: [URL="http://www.insidehoops.com/forum/showthread.php?t=100025"]Top 10 SGs in current NBA[/URL]
1. Lebron James: Indeed, LBJ has improved himself into the best SF in NBA at such a young age. No doubt his tremendous skills, body strength and leadership is the key for the success of Cavs or probably his future new teams.
Predicted Stats For Next Season: 31.5 ppg, 7.8 rpg, 8.7 apg
2. Ron Artest: Artest is one of the most underrated player in NBA, especially offensively. He can score 20+ ppg as the team's first option and defensively he's the best in current NBA. In a word, Artest deserves the No.2 SF in current league.
Predicted Stats For Next Season: 21.2 ppg, 5.4 rpg, 2.9 apg
3. Carmelo Anthony: Melo is probably the best scoring SF in current league, but the lack of defense and leadership ability make him embarrassed compared to LBJ. Anthony is still young and sky is the limit for his potential.
Predicted Stats For Next Season: 30.4 ppg, 8.3 rpg, 2.5 apg
4. Paul Pierce: Pierce eventually proved that he deserves a spot at top 5 SFs in current league and won the recent Final MVP. However, it's still not wise to say he's second only to LBJ due to the success of Boston Celtics last season.
Predicted Stats For Next Season: 20.5 ppg, 4.7 rpg, 6.0 apg
5. Shawn Marion: Marion is actually an SF, yes, and a Top 5 SF. Marion is the best rebounder among those SFs and his excellent outside defense was the key to the Suns' success in recent years. Look how terrible the Suns are w/o Marion.
Predicted Stats For Next Season: 19.6 ppg, 11.2 rpg, 2.1 apg
6. Caron Butler: Needless to say, Butler is the reason why the Wizards were able to make the play-off without Gilbert Arenas. Butler is able to score while his ability to pass and run the point is just outstanding as well. What a Point Forward!
Predicted Stats For Next Season: 22.6 ppg, 4.1 rpg, 6.7 apg
7. Rashard Lewis: Lewis has already proved how good he is as a Sonic. He's a decent shooter and the size advantage over smaller SFs makes him capable of scoring inside. Lewis is definitely the second best player in current Magic team.
Predicted Stats For Next Season: 20.9 ppg, 6.3 rpg, 3.2 apg
8. Richard Jefferson: Someone used to say RJ won't be this good without Kidd, but he's definitely okay playing without a PG. RJ was leading the Nets in scoring last year and the loss of Jefferson might lead the Nets to a lottery spot.
Predicted Stats For Next Season: 20.5 ppg, 5.7 rpg, 2.4 apg
9. Corey Maggette: Honestly, Maggette had been considerably underrated until he eventually managed to prove himself last season. He is able to penetrate and score inside while taking accurate jump shot. He's the hope for rebuilding Warriors.
Predicted Stats For Next Season: 24.3 ppg, 4.8 rpg, 4.0 apg
10. Josh Smith: Josh Smith is an SF indeed just like Shawn Marion and his ability to defend and rebound is almost as good as the latter. Smith is still young and now he has gained a chance to break out --- 2009 is his contract year!
Predicted Stats For Next Season: 19.2 ppg, 9.6 rpg, 1.5 apg
Other Candidates: Andre Kirilenko, Josh Howard, Gerald Wallace, Lamar Odom and Tayshaun Prince.[/QUOTE]
LeBron won't average over 8 assists next year.
No way in hell Ron Ron gets 21.
0% chance Melo gets 30+ and 8+.
Caron won't average 6 assists a game.
Marion will be lucky to score 18 a game.
Rashard Lewis and Jefferson are extremely high.
Little to no chance Josh Smith gets that many rebounds.
[QUOTE=JD_TO]1.Lebron
2.Pierce
3.Melo
4.Artest
5.Igudola
6.Odom
7.Butler
8.Smith
9.Prince
10.Deng[/QUOTE]
Are you kidding me? Not a homer but, Odom over Butler? Are you serious?
And Deng in a top 10 list? Over Granger, Wallace, Jefferson... Wow...

of course shards defense isnt top notch, but he still ranks over the likes of a hedo and josh, who both had 1 good year in their career. maybe two. leaves 8 of those you listed. add gay and you've got the 10 best sf's in the league.
dirk's defense sucks. should we throw him out of the top 10 pf's while we're at it?
