Most underrated player

Sun Jul 20, 2003 12:39 pm

who is the must underrated player in the league?

sorry if i missed some important ones.

Sun Jul 20, 2003 12:42 pm

I'd have to go with Artest. He needs to get some more credit for playing very good defense and his offense is also above average. But, that's just my opinion. :cool:

Sun Jul 20, 2003 12:55 pm

He ruined his rep as a lockdown defender with his crappy attitude but he is pretty underrated.

Sun Jul 20, 2003 1:27 pm

I got a chance to see Q play against the 76ers... He shut down Iverson pretty bad... kept him to like 21 pts...


Q Richardson is a valuable asset to any teams he's with

at least those players have a frickin jersey on sale in Malls. Ricky Davis puts up like 3 triple doubles and averages 20 some odd points and NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO no body has even heard of the guy!!! They don't even have his jersey on SALE!! CAN"T EVEN ORDER IT!!!!!

:D So I say Ricky Davis is the most underated, because see! poeple give Artest his props, just the L doesn't becasue he doesn't ever play, but people say Artest is a GOOD player
And Q, Q is on NBA TV with teh rest of those scrubs on L.A. ball or sumtin like that... and I don't see Q postin 20 points on a regular basis.
But NOOOOOO no ones ever heard of Ricky!!
HEH, if u guys do have a place in ur town that has a Ricky Davis jersey could u please get their number for me, I really want one.

I think Shawn Marion is still somewhat underrated. He's started to receive some recognition with his first selection as an All-Star, but he doesn't receive as much credit as he should.

ya but if I wanted a Matrix jersey then I can go to "Pro Image" and buy one for 60 dollars. But Ricky Davis NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO :D

Sun Jul 20, 2003 4:54 pm

Damn, if I could I would send you a Davis jersey... (N)

Sun Jul 20, 2003 5:24 pm

Donyell Marshall is way underrated, too. He scores mostly over 15 and grabs always 8 - 10 reb. :D

Sun Jul 20, 2003 5:38 pm

so is Antonio Davis he has solid numbers including great ft percentage for a big fella but he is underrated espically when Raps fell this season despite that he still average solid numbers...

Sun Jul 20, 2003 6:23 pm

id have to say kenny thomas and eric snow...snow is top 10 pg but i havent seen anyone sporting his jersey!or talking about him...same with thomas!

Sun Jul 20, 2003 6:56 pm

Michael Finley.
Didn't get to go to the All-Star game yet look how much he means to the Mavs. He probably means more than Nash ( a all star!) to them.

Mon Jul 21, 2003 10:17 am

I dont think he is really underrated. If anything nash is overrated.

Mon Jul 21, 2003 3:47 pm

I can't think of anyone right now who is underrated, but Darius Miles pops out of my mind instantly when I think about someone who is overrated...

ut

id have to say kenny thomas and eric snow...snow is top 10 pg but i havent seen anyone sporting his jersey!or talking about him...same with thomas!

let's see:
Kidd
Payton
B. Davis
Nash
Terry
Cassel
Marbury
Dre Miller
Arenas, ya ok definately top 10 (snow) take or pick a few more
but I'm also not seeing alot of great point gaurd anymore either, most are all SG in a point gaurd body.
Why his jersey shouldn't be sported to start with? he doesn't even average top 20, thats why, and so what if he has AI, doesn't make an excuse. Snow is good, but not underated, he's just a good player, and thats that. And at least people have heard of Snow, I've met only 10 people so far who know Ricky Daivs (and I know alot of poeple). Everyone knows Snow and who he is, and what game he has. And why would anyone want to talk bout Snow? Please explain the man doesn't get 20 ppg, he isn't #1 on his team, he ahs no Triple Doubles, no highlights, Only a trip to the finals thanks to AI, and good D that didn't do him any good so far. Ya so ricky hasn't done anything for Team, but atleast he has major highlight reels to talk about (if anyone knew him). And atleast Ricky can put up major individual numbers. Haven't seen that from snow yet? Plus! I've seen a few end of the game buckets to Win for ricky Davis.
Kenny thomas isn't underated yet either until he can actually do something. Ya I've seen him and he's alright, but he hasn't shown that sign he deserves more attention with guys like Webber, Sheed, Duncan, KG, Walker, Dirk, Reef, and Jermaine, Kenyon, and more around.
And for another underated player, I'd say Kurt thomas, he's one of the Knick premiers now. But I guess he goes with Kenny Thomas, but I'd say Kurt is better and well more deserving atteniton that Kenny is.

man you dont know what you are talking!

PHILADELPHIA -- Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow. Snow fell February 26 at the First Union Center as 76ers guard Eric Snow recorded his first career triple-double in a 111-107 victory over the Memphis Grizzlies. He finished the game with 22 points, 11 assists and a season-high 10 rebounds


well whats this???

http://www.nba.com/sixers/news/03snow_improved.html

look here and you see that this year was his career year and be4 2002-2003 season people didnt know him so well...



Kidd
Payton
B. Davis
Nash
Terry
Cassel
Marbury
Dre Miller
Arenas


well how much of these players have been picked in the second round?? only arenas...

he doesn't even average top 20, thats why, and so what if he has AI, doesn't make an excuse. Snow is good, but not underated, he's just a good player, and thats that. And at least people have heard of Snow, I've met only 10 people so far who know Ricky Daivs (and I know alot of poeple). Everyone knows Snow and who he is, and what game he has. And why would anyone want to talk bout Snow? Please explain the man doesn't get 20 ppg, he isn't #1 on his team, he ahs no Triple Doubles, no highlights...
well as you can see he is improving and he isnt a dunker like ricky..if you check that site you see some of his higlights...and he is a pg he doesnt have to average 20 ppg but he may average 15-17 ppg in next 3 years! and you may see him lead the nba in assists.

Some underrated bigmen are: brian grant, tony battie, jamal maglorie, danny fortson, and stromile swift to name a few

Tue Jul 22, 2003 5:20 am

Brian Grant ain't underrated he is paid with big bucks...Miami gave him a contract that a superstar should have therefore he is not underrated he didn't prove that he's worthy of the contract...

Tue Jul 22, 2003 6:06 am

underrated players:kenyon,fox.

but ricky davis underrated hahahaahhaah this dumbass is too overrated.he is idiot i hate him!

Tue Jul 22, 2003 6:55 am

Rick Fox? You're kidding. The only thing that separates him from any other NBA player is that he has a hot wife...

Danny Fortso is very underrated. He needs more playing time though. He led the league in rebounds for the beginning of one season and then got injured really early...

Tue Jul 22, 2003 7:11 am

Vlad Radmanovic, Shareef Abdur-Rahim, and David Wesley don't get the respect they deserve IMO. :cool:

Tue Jul 22, 2003 10:38 pm

Tue Jul 22, 2003 11:39 pm
