    Hes a solid role player that knows his role and does the dirty work, paired with a more than decent mid range game. A career 10/8 guy...yea I would say he's pretty underrated

    Based on what i've seen in the playoffs this year, Jared Dudley.

    (what are the odds that after years of reading the BBS my very first post would be singing the praises of Jared Dudley?)

    Andrew Bogut. He's easily the best center in the NBA (barring a healthy Yao).

    He isn't in the NBA yet, but i'm calling this one,

    Most underrated player in the draft:

    Patrick Patterson

    He is the black Shane Battier. Very high IQ, both on the court and off, great with media. Very literate. Hard worker and great personality. He probably won't be a star, but he is going to be in this league for a loooooong time that is for sure.

    I feel like chris paul sadly falls into this category now....out of sight, out of mind.

    maybe tracy mcgrady? jokes of course.

    Brandon Roy is pretty darn underrated in my opinion, steve nash continues to prove people wrong about age, as does grant hill.

    Goran Dragic is also pretty underrated because of the legend he he plays behind but I think these playoffs will change that a la russel westbrook.

    LeBron James.

    With all the unjust criticism he's gotten, he's now really underrated.

    Only in the playoffs because he is in it...

    When you think of the best centers power forwards in the game you think of...

    Dwight Howard, Bogut, Duncan, Yao, KG, Bosh, Amare, Boozer to name a few...Gasol hardly comes into the conversation.
