Small Forward: Tracy McGrady

Tracy McGrady spent the first three years of his career with the Toronto Raptors. In his last season with the Raptors (1999-00), T-Mac averaged 15.4 points and 6.3 rebounds per contest.

While McGrady increased his scoring output during his first three years in the league, no one could predict what we would witness when the Magic acquired him in summer of 2000.

During his four seasons in Orlando, McGrady averages included 28.1 points, 7.0 rebounds, 5.2 assists and 1.5 steals per contest. He earned four All-Star selections and led the league in scoring twice (2003-04).

A few other of McGrady’s accomplishments include the following:

  • Most Improved Player (2001).
  • Two-Time All-NBA First Team (2002-03).
  • Two-Time All-NBA Second Team (2001, 2004).

The lone negative for McGrady was that he was never able to lead the Magic past the first round of the playoffs. But based on his impressive numbers, it is easy to understand why he made the list.
