Hmmm top 5 SFs, well going by Tier:LBJ-------Durant------Iggy, Pierce, Melo------Gallanari, Batum, Gay, GrangerI guess you could argue for top 6, but even that's a stretch in my book.When nick talks about Luol Deng being one of the most underrated players in the NBA, the above is what he's talking about. The dude destroyed the Celtics last night, and he doesn't even make top-9 on a Celtics blog.Deng is better than Iggy, Pierce, Granger, Gallinari, Batum, and Gay by a wide margin.

He's averaged double digits in points with Toronto the last two years, and as you said, I needed a true SF. Not many other options like that left, so I put some faith in him.
And Pierce got destroyed by Deng last night. Right now, Deng is like the better defending, better rebounding version of Pierce.
LBJ----Durant----Iggy, Gay----Pierce, Melo, Deng

Deng is a less efficient scorer and overall a passive player who doesn't bring the playmaking Pierce does.
