1 - LeBron James SF 21 6'8'' 240 A B- B+ B+ C+ B
Currently listed at SG, James will be moved to SF during the next roster update. His size, strength and skill make him a dominant player with the ball in his hands. Once he works on his defense, he should become the best player in the league.
2 - Paul Pierce SF 29 6'6'' 230 A- B+ C+ A- C C
The Celtics franchise player and one of the best wing players in the game. Pierce can light you up from inside or out, and he'll lock you down on the perimeter too. No real weakness.
3 - Shawn Marion SF 28 6'7'' 215 B+ B- C- A+ A- C
A freak athlete with the ability to control the boards and get 20ppg on the offensive end without having plays run for him. Not the world's best passer, but the rest of his game makes up for it.
4 - Carmelo Anthony SF 22 6'8'' 220 A- B- C B C B
Melo has had his ups and his downs in the NBA, but he's finally emerged as a dominant offensive player who can carry his team on his back. Not an elite defender, but definitely an elite scorer.
5 - Ron Artest SF 26 6'7'' 246 B B- C A+ C C
Perhaps the best wing defender in the league, blessed with a work ethic rivalled by few. Artest can shut down his opponent and then drop close to 20ppg on them at the other end.
6 - Andrei Kirilenko SF 25 6'9'' 225 B C+ C+ A+ C+ C
So you lost your man on the defensive end? That's ok, AK47 has got your back. An uncanny player with a funky skill set, not to mention an underrated playmaker.
7 - Antawn Jamison SF 30 6'9'' 225 B B+ C B- B- C
Jamison can score from just about anywhere with a variety of offensive skills that led him to the All-Star Game last year. Also a capable rebounder at the small forward position.
8 - Richard Jefferson SF 26 6'7'' 222 B+ B- C+ A- C C
A somewhat questionable jump shot doesn't stop Jefferson from cracking the top ten on this list. His defense and athleticism are outstanding, and he benefits from Kidd's ability to find him running the court.
9 - Lamar Odom SF 26 6'10'' 225 B B- B- B B B
Odom is a point forward who can take over a game if needed, but is perfectly happy doing the little things to make his team win, such as blocking shots, crashing the boards and hitting the three ball.
10 - Predrag Stojakovic SF 29 6'10'' 229 B- A C C+ C C
His offense and, in particular, his insane shooting ability lands Peja in the top ten small forwards list. His defensive intensity is a concern, and he needs to re-find his old form from a few seasons back.
Honorable Mention:
Josh Howard SF 26 6'7'' 210 B B C A- C+ C
Gerald Wallace SF 24 6'7'' 215 B+ C C- A C+ B
Caron Butler SF 26 6'7'' 217 B B C B+ C B
Tayshaun Prince SF 26 6'9'' 215 B- B C A C- C
Corey Maggette SF 26 6'6'' 228 B B C- B C B
Shane Battier SF 28 6'8'' 220 B- B- C A C C
Boris Diaw SF 24 6'8'' 215 B C B+ B C+ B
