Daily Draft Fantasy Basketball: Top 20 Shooting Guards
Dec 15, 2009 Player Updates
Today we take a look at the Top 20 Shooting Guards in daily draft fantasy games through week 8 of the NBA Season. If you don’t see a player on the SG list, check the PG list to make sure he wasn’t included there. Player rankings and their per game fantasy scoring:
1. Dwyane Wade (40.9)
2 Kobe Bryant (39.6)
3. Monta Ellis (35.8)
4. Joe Johnson (31.4)
5. Brandon Roy (30.8)
6. Vince Carter (27.9)
7. Jason Richardson (24.9)
8. Eric Gordon (24.8)
9. O.J. Mayo (24.4)
10. Chris Douglas-Roberts (24.1)
11. Ben Gordon (24.0)
12. Larry Hughes (23.8)
13. John Salmons (23.1)
14. Ray Allen (22.2)
15. Jamal Crawford (21.9)
16. Manu Ginobili (21.7)
17. Ronnie Brewer (21.6)
18. Dahntay Jones (21.1)
19. Courtney Lee (20.7)
20. Anthony Morrow (20.2)
The top of the draft rankings pretty much look like what you would expect. The highest ranking surprise is Chris Douglas-Roberts at number 10. He has been playing well of late and with a coaching change he could keep his ranking. Larry Hughes at number 12 is also a bit of a surprise, but Hughes is wildly inconsistent.
On the downside, Ben Gordon should rank higher but he has been fighting some injury problems. Same with Manu Ginobili, although he has been starting to put up some good performances lately. Dahntay Jones is dealing with some injury problems and missed most of last night’s game, he could slide out of the top 20 soon.
I’ll take a look at the Small Forward position on Wednesday.
