Steals

Centers

Mehmet Okur, O, %, E, A, P, S, D
PER: 18.35, 9.6 PPG, 5.9 RPG, .463 FG%, 22.3 MPG
Doesn't provide much of an inside presence, but still rebounds effectivly and is a very solid scorer.
UPDATE: Signed with Utah

Marcus Camby, D, E, P, H, C
PER: 17.86, 8.6 PPG, 10.1 RPG, .477 FG%, 30.0 MPG
Terrific defender, finally remained healthy AND effective, meaning he probably wasn't playing through it.
UPDATE: Signed with Denver, OVERPAID

Vlade Divac, O, %, E, P, A, H
PER: 16.23, 9.9 PPG, 5.7 RPG, 5.3 APG, .470 FG%, 28.6 MPG
Still has a couple good years left.

Power Forwards

Carlos Boozer, O, H, D, A, P, E, P, S, C
PER: 20.78, 15.5 PPG, 11.4 RPG, .523 FG%, 34.6 MPG
Somehow wound up a FA, nearly as good a steal as Marquis.
UPDATE: Signed with Utah

Stromile Swift, O, E, A, P, $, S, D, P
PER: 19.24, 9.4 PPG, 4.9 RPG, .469 FG%, 19.8 MPG
Has been a very consistant and efficient offensive force for 3 years now, good defender outside of mental errors.

Brian Cardinal, O, %, E, $, U, C
PER: 19.40, 9.6 PPG, 4.2 RPG, .472 FG%, .444 3P%, .878 FT%, 21.5 MPG
Very efficient, vastly underrated.

Small Forwards

Rodney White, O, C, A, $, U, D
PER: 16.34, 7.5 PPG, 2.3 RPG, .459 FG%, 13.7 MPG
Very effective scorer (21.9 Points per 40 Minutes), finally living up to his potential, but inconsistant.

Shooting Guards

Marquis Daniels, O, D, C, A, $, E, S, U
PER: 20.11, 8.5 PPG, 2.6 RPG, 2.1 APG, .494 FG%, 18.6 MPG
THE steal of this offseason if someone wises up and prys him away from Dallas. Very efficient, lacking only an outside shot, could've given Lebron a run for the ROY if he played more.
UPDATE: Signed with Dallas

Manu Ginobili, O, D, C, P, $, %
PER: 18.49, 12.8 PPG, 4.5 RPG, 3.8 APG, .418 FG%, .359 3P%, 29.4 MPG
Unfortunatly, too many people know about how good he is for him to really be a steal.

Point Guard

Brent Barry, O, %, E, P, S, A, C
PER: 18.30, 10.8 PPG, 3.5 RPG, 5.8 APG, .504 FG%, .452 3P%, .827 FT%, 30.6 MPG
Very efficient, excellent shooter, not a pure point guard, but he gets by.

Carlos Arroyo, O, $, %, C, U, H
PER: 16.79, 12.6 PPG, 2.6 RPG, 5.0 APG, .441 FG%, .804 FT%, 28.3 MPG
Late addition to this list because I didn't know he was a FA. Played especcially well early in the year.
UPDATE: Signed with Utah
