Top 10 NBA Small Forwards Of The Last Decade

Peja Stojaković
While he's only good for 3 point shooting now, this former All-Star and 2x 3 Point Shootout Champion was a sight to behold. Okay, that's an overstatement. Still, he was a very talented shooter. He's at number 10 because that's all he did. Shoot. He didn't defend, he rarely passed, he couldn't grab an overwhelming amount of boards, but he was a talented scorer. You've got to judge them for what they are I suppose.
His career stats are 17.0 ppg, 4.7 rpg, 1.8 apg. - 9
He's no superstar and he's under the radar on the court, but this high flyer is one of the best overall small forwards in the game today. He's a great jump shooter and he's an outstanding inside scorer. He's never made it to an All-Star team and he likely never will, but that definitely does not make him a bad player. He also recovered from a serve injury with respectable poise.
His career stats are 16.4 ppg, 5.0 rpg, 2.7 apg. - 8
He's outrageously over payed now, that doesn't mean he's bad though, it just means he's not a superstar. He's still a superbly talented overall player. He's always been overshadowed by better players, now that he has a luxurious contract and he's out of his prime, I think he'll be remembered as overrated. It's actually quite sad. This 2x All-Star used to be Ray Allen's sidekick of sorts. He's still a tremendous 3 Point Shooter to this day though.
His career stats are 16.3 ppg, 5.6 rpg, 1.8 apg, 1.1 spg. - 7
I've always been a big Caron Butler fan. Even more so now that he's in Dallas. He's got a shot that's difficult to defend, he's an above average rebounder, and a high basketball I.Q. He's always been active on defense as well. He's just a great overall basketball player. Some may argue he's not as good as Peja Or Rashard, but I argue otherwise. Both of them score very well, something Caron Butler can do as well. Caron just defends and rebounds better.
His career stats 16.6 ppg, 5.9 rpg, 2.9 apg, 1.6 spg. - 6
Poor Grant. Everybody knows how good he truly could have been if he stayed healthy. He was the best overall Small Forward in the game. He was a terrific dunker, driver, defender, and close range scorer. Now he's a prolific jump shooter, passer, and he's smarter to boot. He still remains an excellent defender and this 7x All-Star has still got some fuel in his tank. Even if he's running on fumes.
His career stats are 17.5 ppg, 6.3 rpg. 4.3 apg, 1.3 spg. I chose a picture of him with a suit on because that's been his "uniform" throughout his career.
