The top 10 small fowards in the NBA for 2009-10 season. I think that this is the hardest to find great players in but I hope you enjoy. Feel free to comment or tell me who you think should be on there or what you would've done. Please keep in mind this is for next season not last season. I hope you all like it and thanks for reading!

10. Rudy Gay

Rudy is an explosive dunker and can shoot the ball too. His young team has not reached the playoffs since he has been around but this kid is a great all around athlete and deserves a spot in the top 10. His reg. season stats were 18.9 ppg 5.5 rpg 1.7apg .

9. Luol Deng

CHICAGO - DECEMBER 02:  Head coach Vinny Del Negro of the Chicago Bulls talks with Luol Deng #9 against the Philadelphia 76ers at the United Center on December 2, 2008 in Chicago, Illinois.  NOTE TO USER: User expressly acknowledges and agrees that, by do

Luol has shown he can be a great player but due to injuries his 08-09 season was shortened. I think if he is healthy next season he and Rose can take their Bulls to the playoffs. Luol posted a moderate 14.1 ppg 6.0 rpg 1.9 apg in the reg. season and missed out on a exciting 7 game series with Boston.

8. Andre Iguodala

PHILADELPHIA - APRIL 30:  Andre Iguodala #9 of the Philadelphia 76ers lays the ball up against the Orlando Magic during Game Six of the Eastern Conference Quarterfinals at Wachovia Center on April 30, 2009 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. NOTE TO USER: User

Andre is an all around player that is very underrated. He is a great athlete he has a good scoring avg and is a great defender. His season stats were 18.8 ppg 5.7 rpg 5.3 apg and his post season stats were 21.5 ppg 6.3 rpg 6.7rpg.

7. Ron Artest

One of the more interesting players in the NBA, Ron Artest is a great defender and is strong on offense. But his attitude is what gets him tossed around. His stats for the regular season were 17.1 ppg 5.2 rpg 3.3 apg and 15.6 ppg 4.30 rpg 4.2 apg for the postseason

6. Lamar Odom

ORLANDO, FL - JUNE 11:  Mickael Pietrus #20 of the Orlando Magic attempts a game-winning shot over Lamar Odom #7 in the fourth quarter of Game Four of the 2009 NBA Finals on June 11, 2009 at Amway Arena in Orlando, Florida.  NOTE TO USER:  User expressly

Lamar Odom is a very versatile player he can shoot from the perimeter, rebound, finish. Though he is hold he is posting a solid 11.3 ppg 2.6 apg 8.2 rpg and in the playoffs 12.3 ppg 9.10 rpg 1.8 apg.

5. Danny Granger

PHOENIX - FEBRUARY 15:  Danny Granger #33 of the Eastern Conference lays the ball up over David West #30 of the Western Conference during the 58th NBA All-Star Game, part of 2009 NBA All-Star Weekend at US Airways Center on February 15, 2009 in Phoenix, A

Granger was voted into his first all star game last year finally getting recognized in Indiana. He is deadly on offense and trying to get his Pacers to the playoffs. Danny averaged 25.8 ppg 5.1 rpg 2.7 apg and is still awaiting his first playoff game of his career/

4. Paul Pierce

BOSTON - MAY 02:  Paul Pierce #34 of the Boston Celtics drives past John Salmons #15 of the Chicago Bulls in Game Seven of the Eastern Conference Quarterfinals during the 2009 NBA Playoffs at TD Banknorth Garden on May 2, 2009 in Boston, Massachusetts. NO

Despite KG being out Pierce picked his team up and took them to the semi-finals barely escaping the young Bulls team. During the regular season he averaged 20.5 ppg 5.6 rpg 3.6 apg and during the exciting post season Paul posted 21.0 ppg 5.8 rpg 3.1 apg.

3. Kevin Durant

PHOENIX - FEBRUARY 13:  Kevin Durant #35 of the Sophomore team goes to the basket for a slam dunk over O.J. Mayo #32 of the Rookie team during the T-Mobile Rookie Challenge & Youth Jam part of 2009 NBA All-Star Weekend at US Airways Center on February 13,

Poor Kevin Durant he is a young star that is stuck with a terrible team that can't afford him. But his numbers are still strong during the regular season posting 25.3 ppg 6.5 rpg 2.8 apg with no playoff games.

2. Carmelo Anthony

LOS ANGELES, CA - JULY 15:  NBA player Carmelo Anthony arrives at the 2009 ESPY Awards held at Nokia Theatre LA Live on July 15, 2009 in Los Angeles, California. The 17th annual ESPYs will air on Sunday, July 19 at 9PM ET on ESPN.  (Photo by Jason Merritt

This young man can do it all. He averaged 28.4 ppg 7.2 apg 7.6 rpg in 08-09 season and an even better 35.3 ppg 9.10 rpg 7.3 apg in the playoffs. There is not one person who could say he is not the best sf in the league.
