Roy is a solid defender and very explosive with an all around NBA game,he can shot the three,post up,and has a mid-range game.He plays under control like a grizzled veteran and rarely takes bad shots.This past season Roy averaged 23ppg,5rbg,5apg,he is also a 2 time all star.Entering his fourth season he is destined to be at the top of this list in the future.

He is without a doubt the second best sg in the league,the former NBA Finals MVP is already a Champion and single handedly led a bunch of no name players to the playoffs last year.He is ah very good defensive player by leading the league in blocks for guards and his offensive skills are second to none.Last season he averaged a league leading 30ppg,5rpg,8apg,he is also a 5-time all star.

He is without a doubt still the top sg in the league,the 4time NBA Champion and recentle Finals MVP has been doing his thing now for 13 seasons and still has 3 more type flight seasons ahead of him before he starts to fall off.He single handely has kept the Lakers afloat as a contender these last handfull of seasons,without him the Lakers are pure and simply a lottery team winning 30+ games every season.Last season he averaged 27ppg,5rpg,5apg,he also is a 11-time all star.This is coming from ah Kobe and Laker hater but sometimes you have to give credit when credit is due.
