Top Five Fantasy Shooting Guards
1) Kobe Bryant, Las Angeles Lakers
It’s no surprise that Bryant is the number one fantasy shooting guard. He came into the season with a lot of hype and is backing it up. The good news is that he should get even better because he’s not scoring as well as he eventually will. Besides his scoring, everything else looks good.
2) Manu Ginobili, San Antonio Spurs
Ginobili has always been a good fantasy player, but this year Ginobili has been a great fantasy player. He’s doing everything and the amazing part is he’s averaging less than 30 minutes per game for the Spurs. He’s been hot all season so there aren’t many indications that he’s due to cool off.
3) Kevin Martin, Sacramento Kings
Some league pundits wondered whether last year was a bit of a fluke for Martin. Martin has responded to those questions by putting up even better numbers this year. He’s quickly proving himself to be one of the best pure scorers in the NBA.
4) Michael Redd, Milwaukee Bucks
Redd is playing very solidly, as usual. His shooting numbers are great and his all-around numbers are good enough. If you are in the market for a shooting guard you can trust, Redd should be near the top of your wish list.
5) Josh Smith, Atlanta Hawks
Smith has been erratic this season, but when he’s on – he’s really on. As a shooting guard, he can give you a massive amount of blocks and very healthy amount of steals. He’s also a very good rebounding when compared to other shooting guards. Once his offense improves (he’s shooting less than 39%), he could begin to climb this ranking.

Manu has been incredible so far this season. If Pop can keep his minutes under control, hopefully he will be able to keep up this pace. I am a little worried about his (minor) hand injury, but hopefully it won’t set him back.
