#4 Brandon Bass: While everyone looks to score and score more on the Magic Bass does the things that helps you win games. He's their Landry Fields

#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.

^I don't think you can put Rondo in that list anymore. The amount of love he gets in SportsCenter and during TNT telecasts is insane.

Horford
David West
Artest- On any given night he can give Kobe OR Pau a break guarding the best offensive player on the court. Very rare and very valuable.

I guess I can agree with Martin. He's a very underrated scorer but he plays no defense at all. Is it possible to say Dirk? lol I know he gets plenty of credit but in the offseason all anyone did was talk about Bosh and then Amare. Eric Gordon is playing lights out right now but I wouldn't put him up there. He never rebounds very well but I'd definitely put Brook Lopez on my list.
Possibly
Kevin Martin
Brook Lopez
Josh Smith

Felton is a good one and Al Jefferson might be my next choice. I'm not a big fan of Millsap.


and for overrated...

Brandon Jennings
Joe Johnson
and either Chris Bosh, Paul Pierce, or possibly Kevin Love

yea.. I guess your right. I dont watch ESPN really but the cat was let out of that bag quite some time ago. Man I wish we had drafted that guy.

For any of your remaining Isiah apologists put that one in your pipe and smoke it. Mr "he really drafted well" Isiah Thomas took Rolando Balkman over Rondo.

Good times

Millsap was my first thought - he didn't get on the allstar starters ballot, although they did recognize Millsap shortly in an article on NBA.com.

Take a look at this article, it's kinda relevant.

As of right now i consider Milsap, Martin, and Parker all very underrated. People have been sleeping on Parker because of injuries, and leaving him out of the top-10 PGs in the league which is crazy.

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

Haha, Renaldo Balkman, you mean. Though, big ups to Rolando Blackman, as well. Those were indeed good times.

At his stage of his career, Tim Duncan is getting vastly underrated. Media has been spewing the same idea that Tim is all washed up. Dude can still play ball and I think he will surprise a lot of people.

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.

Rondo on a bad team is a disaster. Rondo the ball distributer and defense as the 4th option on a very good team is an allstar.

He would have bombed out on isiah's knicks.

I wonder about this as well. I think everyone should reserve judgment about him being a superstar until we see what he does in 3 or 4 years when this is a rebuilding team. If he keeps them a playoff team then we can talk about him as a top 10 player in the league. But until then he is an all-star on a very good team, but not a superstar.

I'm not so sure- his teams don't seem to win and he always seems to get injured. He should be powering that Rockets team but instead he's putting up good stats but their losing more than they should.
