    Yeah, Carter was an oversight. After Wade, Kobe, and Carter, I'd take Ginobili.

    I would say Nenad Krystic. He's one of the brightest young bigs in the league and he's only 22.

    Shawn Marion - is a top 5 player in the NBA

    MoPete - one of the best at drawing charges, but doesn't really shut down top notch players

    RJ - can do what ever hes told to do

    Redd - who?

    Definelty Shawn Marion! He averages 11-12 rebs and averages 20+ points and he's only 6'7! plays like a center! Second... Paul Pierce.. so many good games. Could be compared to t-mac/ ray allen. Pierce is good and doesnt get credit.

    I love Marion, but that's crazy talk, how in the world did he become better than Kobe, Lebron, Wade, Duncan, KG, Brand, Dirk etc.

    I'll also throw in a name 80% of the posters here probably haven't even heard of. Chuck Hayes. He's a rookie out of the D-league that has played only sparingly with the Rockets in the second half of the season, but he's a terrific rebounder, defensive player, and all-around hustle guy.

    If he's given a chance to play extended minutes (like 25+ a game), he'll be an automatic double-double. And for a rookie, his defense is just superb.

    I had him on one of my fantasy teams for a while, he had a stretch where he was rebounding like a machine, then for some reason his minutes dropped.

    I heard of him, the buzz on the Rockets thread can be heard anywhere [​IMG]

    He isn't really underrated though since he is just beginning his career. You can't really say a rookie is underrated because its his first year.

    Even as a rookie, he's underrated. I post on another Rockets board, and it amazes me how many people there think he's just a "scrub" player. I think the Rockets coaching staff have underrated him a lot as well. Before Yao broke his foot, he was barely getting any playing time the last few months.
