#3 Jason Terry: His +/- numbers are insane. Watch even a small sample of Mavs games and they are one of the deepest and most talented teams in the league, yet I would say Terry hits more important shots than anyone on that team

#2 Rondo. Most people know he's great but originally overshadowed but Boston's "big 3" Rondo is quietly the best player on that team and a top 3-4 PG in the league for sure

#1 Roy Hibert: This guy is a star. Just nobody knows it yet.

Good point on Hibbert Fish, he's really coming into his own. Had a great game last night (24/12/6 assts) helping his Pacers pull out a very improbable win at the Lakers. Dude's averaging 16/10 & over 2 blocks a game so far this season.

I think Serge Ibaka is another big who's pretty underrated. Really starting to show signs of a complete game...He played well last year for Ok. City, hustling and playing good athletic defense but now his offensive game is really starting to turn the corner. He looked real good early on last night in a loss at Houston going 7 for 7 from the floor and he was doing it from all over, including from mid-range where he looked very comfortable shooting the ball. Stopped shooting after awhile as their big guns tried to take over the game nearly pulling out a victory (only played 22 mins too, splitting mins with Nick Collison---he should be playing more, he's better than Collison). Averaging 11/7/2 blks/60% FG/80% FT in about 27 mins a game. We've been talking about getting another big to go along with STAT & Ronny -- imagine if it was this guy? We'd be in good shape. This guy's only gonna get better -- so good that the Thunder might not be able to keep him eventually.

I dont really get the sense of suddent urgency by fans around here to start selling off prospects for low ceiling role players who might add a couple wins right now. Because Amare is 28?

To me Amare being 28 and the Knicks being .500 doesnt justify quitting on my player development.

Both Lopez and Harris of NJ are extremely overrated, as is Bosh currently.

Overrated how? Harris was fantastic 2 years ago. Hurt last year. Playing good again this year. Lopez doesn't need explanation. He draws double and triple teams offensively and is a beastly low post defender.

Monte Ellis

Andrew Bogut

Ibaka is a blocking machine man. really wanted to draft him for my fantasy team.

has anyone mentioned joakim noah? his numbers are ridiculous! http://sports.yahoo.com/nba/players/4287

Landry Fields was named the Eastern Conference's Rookie of the Month for November. Nothing personal against Fields, but either the people who give out these awards were penalizing John Wall for missing some games due to injury, or they simply haven't been watching as many Knicks games as they should.

john wall has the best p.r. machine since lebron first entered the nba. name constantly pops up. congrats john wall has great stats on a losing team, yeepee. its not like the wizards are a team of scrubs.

fields has great play on a winning team, contributing to the stat i care most, wins.

He's been mention quite a bit, clearly he's having a career year. I think most of us predicted he would do that in this system, as a matter of fact, he started the season avg roughly the same #s as last season, and most started to put together all sorts of trading packacegs.

He's putting the pg issue to a rest at this point.
