    Antonio Daniels, too.</p>

    </p>

    So underrated, he's a steal of a player. Great defense, great offensive, great control of the game, kudos to whoever winds up with him.</p>

    Ramon Sessions is highly underrated. Get him before he blows up.

    If you want to look at better players, like starters, Mike Bibby might be your guy.

    Bibby and AD are both getting up there in age.</p>

    And if defense is your thing, then you'd have better luck with a mannequin than Bibby. </p>

    </p>

    That being said, for a veteran team, they're both better picks. </p>

    Calderon</p>

    Rondo</p>

    Jack</p>

    ...Few PGs today are good defensively, much less forces.</p>

    Devin Harris.</p>

    Plays great defense, is underrated, and will start for a team that has a decent chance at a title.</p>

    <div class='quotetop'>QUOTE (Kid Chocolate)</div><div class='quotemain'>He needs to stop shooting or learn to shoot.</div></p>

    And he is kind of small and his defense is not the greatest.</p>

    Devin is overrated. He can't run a team</p>

    </p>

    </div></p>

    </p>

    That wasn't the criteria. He just asked for an underrated guy who can play uptempo and plays good defense. Only about five PG can really run a team and none of them are underrated. </p>

    He definitely isn't overrated. Who thinks he is great at this point? </p>

    Wait, we can talk about players as long as it's not in the discussion thread?</p>

    Don't go with Koponen, he's very un-proven.</p>

    </p>

    Take a look at Rajon Rondo, he'll play defense, pass, can score the ball but needs to work on his jumper, and can push the tempo. He was great towards the end of last season and I do expect him to put up better numbers this year. </p>
