    New Orlando Magic players Cuttino Mobley and Hedo Turkoglu have been named to the five-man ?All Under-The-Radar Team? by Inside Stuff magazine. Mobley and Turkoglu are joined on the team by James Posey (Memphis), Kenny Thomas (Philadelphia) and Trenton Hassell (Minnesota).</div>

    Yes very under rated he guarded kobe, peja, and melo in the playoffs for us with really great defense. He is our best defender that no one questions. He has a great work ethic and will soon be at the level to be considered one of the premier nba defenders. I would make hima defensive player of the year choice next year.

    Good for Hassell, he definitely deserved it. I'm glad to see that he's getting at least some recognition, besides what he's getting from us T-Wolves fans. He's done so much for us and he shut down some big time stars to help us out big time this season. Without Hassell, we wouldn't have done as good as we did. James Posey was also a very nice selection. Very underrated I think.

    I would love it if we resign him and his offense turns out to be like Ron Artest. If we don't then I hope he is a one hit wonder.

    Man after what he did for us last season I cant help, but wish the best for the guy were ever he goes. Be it us or portland. He is a very talented player hopefully he will continue to improve no matter what team he is on.

    Yeah, he is definetely under-rated.
    The guy made Carmelo wonder what he was doing in the NBA and kept Peja quiet that whole series(besides packing him on tha last shot)
    I was amzed he only got 1 vote for defensive team, you can be sure that wont happen next year though.

    Not only underrated but when his shot was questioned... he worked on it and knocked key shots against the Kings when doubled on one of the big 3. Needed to be resigned needless to say.

    His offense is good, he just isn't a key member of the Wolves offensive scheme cuz of the big three & Wally. Hes got a good jumper, and hes solid driving to the basket too. And sometimes it seems like hes not too confident in his offense, a lot of times during the season he would pass the ball when he had an open shot that he normally makes. If he adds some range to his shot and manages to find a way to create some room between himself and his defender, he will become a very effective offensive option.

    And we all know about his defense.

    Of course hes not 20 ppg player... but when his jump shot was questioned and critized... he started to knock down the majority of his open jumpers. He doesnt have to score 20 points for the Wolves to be successful but he needs to be able to keep the defender honest to keep one of the big 3 free from as many double teams as they recieve... and he started doing it late in the season... he just needs to keep it consistant. His defense... cant complain. [​IMG]
