Yeah, that was a good debate. But I would just like to say that Kenny Thomas deserves some recognition as well. I say he's among the most underrated players in the NBA.
Elton Brand, Jeff Foster. Elton Brand: Automatic Double Double (Up to this Year), don't know what went wrong this year, but he's still getting the job done. I'm not sure of his credentials, but I think he's a one time all-star. He's overshadowed in the West by PF's like KG, Duncan, Dirk, Amare (now), Chris Webber, Gasol among others. He's a beast inside, a blue collar guy that does everything you want out of a player. 20-10-2(blocks), That's basically what you're getting from him everynight with all out effort. He does all the dirty work, and he contributes a lot. He's also playing for the Clippers, who have not been sucessful in the recent years, seems like forever, which also has a lot to do with him not getting his due. Jeff Foster: Energy Guy. All out hustle like Brand, especially on the offensive boards. 9.5 and 11 this year for him. Also like Brand, he's a coaches dream, someone who gives 100% every night. He's not the prettiest player. He's not the type of playeer you're going to run plays for him. He doesn't have much offensive skills and tools, but he gets the job done. He can defend and gets a lot of his points by putbacks and offensive boards. He does the little things which lead up to big things. I just love watching him play. He doesn't get enough recognition for what he does for the Pacers. EDIT: Yea og, Larry's up there...I was going to list him, but then I would have to list more players. Larry doesn't get the recognition he deserves. He had a lot of expecations on him when he came into the league, and after a few years of not living up to them, people started to not pay attention to him. If it wasn't for his wrist injury, he would of been an All-Star this year. He's arguably been the Wizards MVP this year, and he's just a flat out very good all-around player.
