Top 5 1999 Small Forwards:

Wally Szczerbiak
C+ B C- C+ C+ A

Wally World had landed in the NBA. He is an excellent outside shooter and he is outstanding at sneaking in and getting putbacks. Solid, but not exceptional on defense, he has one of the purest jump shots in the draft. Was an outstanding college forward and should make an outstanding pro.

Meta World Peace
B- B- C B C B

The forward formerly known as Ron Artest changed his name to try and bring attention to the world peace movement. A laudable goal but the method is a little strange. That word pretty much sums up artest in general. Outstanding defender and solid both inside an outside. His problems arise with his work ethic and attitude. Scouts are concerned he may be a little to content with his skills to be anything more than a solid defender. If he can prove his doubters wrong he could be very good.

Andrei Kirilenko C+ C C- B C A

The bigman from Russia has one of the more unique skillsets in this class. He impressed the scouts at the combine with this ability to play big against even the largest of matchups. No ball is safe when facing him on defense, a walking 5X5 candidate. He was the perfect 3 and D guy in europe with the closer 3pt line.

Shawn Marion
B C+ C- B B A

The forward from Mountain West power UNLV drug the rebels to the elite eight of the NCAA tournement this season. His dual with the eventual winners UConn was one for the ages. He is very good inside and a solid 3pt hot. His defense is very polished for one of his age and his skillet is a classic cornerman. Very good with the ball in his hands, he is one of the real jems of this class.

Jumaine Jones
C- B D C+ C+ A

Very solid at defense and great potential, but if you want to know where to find him: Look to the corner.
