- Paul George
Remember when Paul George and the Indiana Pacers were on the verge of becoming an elite NBA team? It seems like decades ago, but when Paul George had the gruesome injury during a USA team practice it all changed. After a year off, and some time to shake off the rust, it seems as if Paul George is ready to make is climb back to the top. In the 2015-16 season, George has nearly returned to form and is averaging a respectable 23.6 points, 3.8 assists and 7.2 rebounds.
- Carmelo Anthony
Melo does not get as much attention as he deserves playing for the bottom-dwelling Knicks. That doesn’t change the fact that he is one of the great scorers in the history of the game. Now 31, Melo’s heading towards a decline in his career and will more than likely go into the history books as one of the best players of all time who could never win a championship ring.
This list was full of young studs and future Hall of Famers. Small forward is arguably the most talented position in the league. MVP’s, championship rings and scoring titles, these players have it all. But with young stars like Andrew Wiggins and Jabari Parker on the come-up, this list is bound to look different in the very near future.
