    I was just wondering who y'all think is the most underrated player in the L.?
    I personly think P.J. Brown is very underrated. Almost nobody talks about this solid double-double guy.
    He is a very effective player, averaging almost 10-10, on a very good FG%. And he's a player that don't mind doing the dirty work. He's a team player and is very solid defensively.
    Bottom line is that I think he is very underrated.
    Who do y'all think is the most underrated player?

    All right, some people won't beleive this, but have anyone of you guys listened to ESPN radio on Sunday Mornings around 9. The host's name is Dan Le Batard, and he does this thing where he asks proffessional players 20 or so question in a quick fire fashion.

    One of the questions he asks is who is the most underrated player in your league. Not a certain position, but player.

    Both Ray Allen one morning and Baron Davis on a completely different morning answered Cuttino Mobley. It blew my mind when Baron said it, I heard him secondly.

    So when Rudy T compared Cuttino to Jordan, that's rating him correctly? :)

    Underrated guys are always on losing teams, overrated guys on winning teams (unless stats are padded kightily skewing their perceived value. Rickie Davis anyone? Caron Butler anyone?).

    He was never underrated. Trust me, Houston fans especially know how good he was because he used to give Hakeem fits. The guy wasted his life away.

    I am not sure who Raford Alston is, but Rafer Alston is definitely not underrated. Well, maybe his mad dribbling skillz should be in more commericals. :p

    I've always felt Erik Dampier was very underrated. His stats don't wow you. But hes pretty damn solid.

    Mark Madsen and Eduardo Najera. They never get credit.

    Maybe at the start of the season, but He's getting way too much props now for a 13 -8 rookie campaign.

    The same goes for Amare.

    Shareef Abdur-Rahim, Michael Finley, Richard Hamilton, Jamal Mashburn, Shawn Marion, Andrei Kirilenko to name a few. Although they are not super underrated, they don't get enough credit for how good they are.
