Personally, I would say Shawn Marion, because he brings a lot to the table. Scoring, Rebounding, Defence, and he shoots a good percentage from the floor and line. Who is your pick for the most underated player in the league?
(Most underrated to least) 1.Shareef Abdul-Rahim. Everyone seems to have forgotten about him, but just because he's rotting on bad teams doesn't mean he's not a great player. He can shoot a three, has a great post game, and is one of the best rebounders in the league at the 4. 2.Michael Finley. He's the only guy on the Mavs who plays D. Oh yeah, and he has a mad shot and one of the best drives in the league, plus he can post. He should be an every-year all-star. He's finally beginning to get a little more recognition, but not nearly enough. 3.Wally Sczerbiak. This guy has a great shot, and his D isn't all that bad against bigger guys, it's just the little guys running around him that cause trouble. No one ever seems to talk about him much because Kevin Garnett is there, but Wally carried a large portion of the Twolves' offense this year.
Actually all three of them have made to the All-star team in the past two years, so atleast they've deserved some nation wide recognition.
Andre Miller The guy does so much and gets so little in return. I really hope he either goes to a better team or the cavs get serious about getting some decent players around him. They should tank the 2003 season to get LeBron, they've worked him out anyway already
Doug Christie or Bruce Bowen. Both are consistent with good defense, but are always overlooked by opposing teams. Cod
Vlade Divac-- the guy's been doing it for a l-o-n-g- time. Remember when the Lakers offered Divac and Worthy for Sampson? Wouldn't you have liked to have Divac in a Rocket's uni for the last decade or so?
I'll vote for Mike Bibby too. We all thought he was good, but at times in this series, he's been the best player on the floor. After this postseason, I hope he is regarded as one of the three or four superstar PG's... he deserves it.
That couldn't have happened, giddyup. Divac's first year was '89-'90. Sampson wasn't on the Rockets then.
steve francis, at least on this board, no contest. ben wallace isn't really underrated anymore, he did get defensive player of the year and everyone wants him so he's getting his due.
