Howard lead Shooting Guards in rebounds with 532 in 76 games last season but needs to tone-down off court issues.


Ray Allen, Boston Celtics

Allen isn’t getting any younger and his minutes may fall in the low 30s as the team saves him for the playoffs.  Draft if you lack threes or free throw percentage. percent


Michael Redd, Milwaukee Bucks

Redd will share the perimeter with Jefferson now, which may take away shots, but give him more open shots too.


Mike Miller, Minnesota Timberwolves


Millers scoring ability will be much needed in Minnesota, he shot an outstanding 50.2 percent from the field last season.


Jamal Crawford, New York Knicks


Former mentor and coach Isaiah Thomas is now gone, but Crawford should excel in D’Antoni’s system.


Stephen Jackson, Golden State Warriors

Jackson reached the 20 points per game plateau and shot 501 threes last season, he plays D too.


Tracy McGrady, Houston Rockets


T-Mac has been often injured in his career but can still fill it up, board, and pass like an elite SG.  His shooting percentages were down last season.


Richard Hamilton, Detroit Pistons


Rips points and minutes have been on a steady decline the past few seasons but he may be the most accurate shooter in the league.


Ben Gordon, Chicago Bulls


Gordon is in a contract dispute and the Bulls are loaded with guards.  A trade could pay huge dividends for fantasy owners.


Manu Ginobili, San Antonio Spurs *Injured*

That bald spot isn’t getting any smaller on Manu’s head but he is still a clutch performer.



Don’t Sleep On: 


Ronnie Brewer, Utah Jazz

Brewer is an active defender who takes quality shots.


J.R. Smith, Denver Nuggets

With more court time Smith could be an elite Shooting Guard.  He is one of the better three ball shooters in the league.


Mickael Pietrus, Orlando Magic


In a starting role for the Magic, the “European Michael Jordan” may finally get a chance to live up to his draft hype.


Francisco Garcia, Sacramento Kings


Poor mans Kevin Martin.


Ricky Davis, Los Angles Clippers


Davis could be an explosive sixth man in LA.


Martell Webster, Portland Trail Blazers


Webster entering his fourth year after jumping from Seattle Prep High School will be expected to score and board off the bench.

 

Be sure to look at my Point Guard (PG), Small Forward (SF), Power Forward (PF), and Center (C) rankings.
