Who do u think is the most underrated NBA Player?I think its Udonis Haslem of the Miami Heat. He does all the dirty work for the Heat and will do pretty uch anything to grab the rebound o score the basket. Even though he doesnt get much recognition for what he does, without him I dont think the Heat could have made it this farWhat do u think?
I think that Gerald Wallace is way underrated. He should have been on first-tesam all defense and I think if I'm right, that he didn't even get on the third-team, he only got an honorable mention. Which is ridiculous for being a shot block leader and leading the league in steals. He got robbed and is quite a bit underrated.
Now that Elton Brand is finally getting some recognition and credit, I can't say him. But as far as the past 10 years, Brand is the most underrated player.But now? Gerald Wallace, Josh Howard, Shawn Marion - all named (except Howard). But someone else:Andres Nocioni!
Nice. I forgot him. I think he's a real solid player, and he kinda plays like Shawn Marion..A double double threat every single night..
Love the Andre Nocioni pick. He is getting credit now since his playoff performance, but has always been a player who I thought got no respect whatsoever. He defends, and htis open jumpers. He can also take a beating like a big man
Nocioni is a great pick, I agree.I was thinking Gerald Wallace as I saw this topic. He is a great young defender, and he can soar to the hoop.All the Celtic fans will smile when they see this name: Ryan Gomes.
All great picks so far, but I don't understand the Marion pick. I would agree if this was a few years ago, and possibly even last season, but he has gotten his due credit this season. He is no longer the NBA's most underrated player...My pick is Caron Butler.
the most unexpectedly good players are nocioni and G.wallace and B.diaw I'd say Diaw was the most underrated, even though nocioni was the one to step up graciously for the bulls this playoffs

He won the MIP award so he obviously was getting recognition. He hasnt been underated at all this season.
Ryan Gomes - I haven't heard much about him all season and he makes the 1st All-Rookie Team.Andres - Did great in the playoffs, another great young player for ChicagoCaron Butler - He did great for the Lakers, Wizards and is a good defender
Pau Gasol, AK-47 anyone?Gasol is the machine for those Grizzlies, he does everything well for them.AK-47 is a triple-double threat every night.He is easily the most valuable to that Jazz team.Sloan has cut down on his scoring but he can put up 20 on any given night.Marion is still underrated, what credit has he gotten?He got discredited for how he played against Lamar Odom in the first round, he defends players better then him and does a good job.20 and 10 type of guy every night.
Kevin Martin for Sacramento. No one ever mentions him, or talks about him and he has turned into a solid NBA player this season, and filled in so well when Bonzi Wells went out with injury. I think the Kings need to start thinking about Martin in the starting spot and trying to ship Bonzi Wells out of town.

Shawn Marion is definatly the most underrated NBA player. He does all the little things and scores when he never gets plays called for him. Averaged: 22pts/12rebs/2asts/2stls/1.7blks 52% FG 80 FT% Amazing.
I think Reggie Evans is really underated. One of the best hustle players in all of basketball. Very solid rebounder and doesnt make many mistakes.

I forgot about kevin martin he was very impressive this year for the kings.Gasol wasnt underrated but was very good. No one underrates marion now. We all know what he can do . and know what he would do this season
