Rank the 2nd Tier of SF's

[oarabbus]

Please do not include Lebron/George/Durant/Melo in this discussion, they are their own tier and you can make a seperate topic to rank them if you want.

Here are the players and their season stats for convenience:

Deng - 19/6/3.5ast on 46%
Iggy - 9/4/5 on 50%
Batum - 13/7/6 on 46%
Parsons - 17/6/3.5 on 50%
Leonard - 12/6/2 on 52%
Hayward - 17/5/5 on 41%
Gay - 20/6/2.5 on 45%
Jimmy "Buckets" Butler - 12/4/2 on 37%

For this I'm trying to include only "true" SFs, meaning guys who spend the majority of their time at SF. Here are examples of players that I am not including: Wesley Matthews, Harden, Korver, Afflalo, Klay Thompson, Kmart, Ginobili, and Joe Johnson. If I've forgotten someone let me know I'll add them to the list and their stats.

1. Deng
2. Gay
3. Parsons
4. Batum
5. Hayward

I believe Hayward is considered the shooting guard and Jefferson the sf for the Jazz though it's basically the same position in their offense.

4. Batum
5. Hayward

And all the others are outside of your top 5?

good list.

Ah thanks, good to know. Hayward fits the build and game of an SF IMO so I will leave him in unless there are objections.

Caron Butler gets mentioned but not Ariza?

[scm5]

1a. George
1b. LeBron

Third tier would be next.

I'm so confused

[oarabbus]

Jimmy Butler, not Caron. Ariza has been playing well but I think he belongs in the next tier down. If you disagree, feel free to include Ariza

I'm so confused

Ignore him.

[Smook A.]

I'm so confused

He put George in the first tier and LeBron in the second

Edit: nvm. He was putting Durant in the 1st tier and LeBron and George in the 2nd

[scott0326]

Anyway:
1. Parsons
2. Iggy
3. Deng
4. Batum
5. Gay
6. Leonard
7 Hayward
8. Butler

Edit: oh never mind, I don't know why I was thinking Caron lol.

I'm so confused

[crunk-juice]

I'm so confused

so is he.

[scott0326]

He put George in the first tier and LeBron in the second

No, what he was doing was saying Lebron and George are in the 2nd tier and implying Durant is in the first tier by himself.

[moe94]

Anyway:
1. Parsons
2. Batum
3. Iggy
4. Deng
5. Batum
6. Gay
7. Leonard
8. Hayward
9. Butler

Edit: oh never mind, I don't know why I was thinking Caron lol.

I don't see how you can have Deng so low when he has, by far, the best combination of offensive and defensive capabilities.
