SMALL FORWARD RANKINGS

1. LeBron James - Cleveland Cavaliers
If he can improve on his free throw percentage he will be the clear #1 fantasy basketball pick for years to come.

2. Shawn Marion - Miami Heat
Marion is the type of player every fantasy basketball team needs, as he excels in every statistical category.

3. Danny Granger - Indiana Pacers
Matrix II. (ie. Shawn Marion). Granger emerged into a complete package for fantasy basketball owners last year, expect more of the same this season.

4. Caron Butler - Washington Wizards
Great guy if you want steals in your fantasy basketball league. And he offers great free throw percentage to boot.

5. Rashard Lewis - Orlando Magic
Lewis offers an exceptional roto-game in fantasy basketball leagues, but in head-to-head leagues he just doesn't get enough stats on a nightly basis.

6. Andre Iguodala - Philadelphia 76ers
Iguodala's all-around game is perfect for teams in fantasy basketball head-to-head leagues.

7. Paul Pierce - Boston Celtics
Another SG/SF switch player with a great all-around game.

8. Josh Smith - Atlanta Hawks
If you can stomach his low free throw percentage and high turnover totals, then his combination of blocks, steals, points, and rebounds are a great asset to any fantasy basketball team.

9. Antawn Jamison - Washington Wizards
Not many SF/PF's can match Jamison's combination of 3's, points and rebounds.

10. Rudy Gay - Memphis Grizzlies
Gay emerged last year as a great fantasy basketball player who can fill nearly every stat category.

11. Vince Carter - New Jersey Nets
Vince is the veteran in NJ with Kidd and Richard Jefferson gone.

12. Carmelo Anthony - Denver Nuggets
Increased his rebound total last year which was a bonus. Melo is emerging into a dependable 20-10 guy in fantasy basketball leagues.

13. Jason Richardson - Charlotte Bobcats
