Top 10 Shooting Guards 2000-2009

Tue Sep 29, 2009 6:57 pm

Probably not too many surprises on this list.

1. Kobe Bryant
2. Dwyane Wade
3. Vince Carter
4. Ray Allen
5. Allen Iverson
6. Manu Ginobili
7. Michael Redd
8. Brandon Roy
9. Richard Hamiton
10. Jerry Stackhouse


I'm guessing he's going to include Tracy McGrady as a small forward, otherwise I'd be inclined to put him on the list possibly as high as third or fourth.

Same quick thing I did in the last thread: (the stats are just 2000-2009)
RankPlayerP/36R/36A/36PERORtgWS
1.Kobe Bryant25.75.44.824.6113125.2
2.Ray Allen21.04.23.720.711695.3
3.Vince Carter22.75.24.121.510985.2
4.Allen Iverson24.23.15.321.410579.4
5.Dwyane Wade23.94.66.325.211156.2
6.Jason Terry17.23.05.217.911173.7
7.Manu Ginobili19.25.34.621.511458.4

9.Eddie Jones15.34.43.016.311061.5
10.Michael Finley16.54.62.915.910861.6
Rip, Brent Barry and Reggie Miller come up next, all within shouting distance.

If you include McGrady in this method, he's second.

hum, i'd put Iverson over Carter and Allen, simply due to the fact that he single handedly carried his team to the finals and taking the only game that any team had taken over the eventual champs...

Too bad he didn't.

Two shots go the other way it's Raptors vs. Hornets in East Conf. Finals. One shot does the same, it's the Bucks in the Finals.

Iverson wasn't the cause for that defense. Look to the guy who wagged his finger.

Great Eastern Playoffs that year really.

I was a little bit shocked at Stackhouse in the list. Maybe because he didn't play like he was in his this last 2 seasons. I would put Terry instead just because he is better than him.

Looking at Ben's table o'stats, Terry makes a good case for being there above Stack and a few others for that matter. I'd forgotten about Eddie Jones and Michael Finley.

Stackhouse is probably the biggest surprise, I'd put Terry over him also. I guess they consider T-Mac a SF as he would probably be around number 2-4 on the list. No complaints with the top end.

Second place, according to Ben's research. I really think he should've been on the list of shooting guards, being a swingman I guess it can go either way but I think he's been consistently listed as a guard for most of the decade.

It's a bit funny how he placed T-Mac as a small forward though. Eventhough McGrady played small forward when in toronto and orlando, I would say that he's more of a shooting guard than a small forward anyway.

Meh, I'd still take Wade over Kobe on my team.

But even then I recall him being listed as a guard and being the starting shooting guard for a healthy amount of games. As I said I suppose you can go either way with him, but I would've put him in this list.
