Well Bibby is a pretty good player, but people shouldn't underrate him because he isn't underrated. If he was anything he would be in the middle or overrated. I wouldn't make him an underrated type player IMO. I have to agree that he is a clutch player and is the best clutch player on the Kings because I have seen him make many clutch shots. I've also seen him light the nets up before, but he isn't that consistent to do it every game though.

sorry Magius....i gotta say that Finley is underrated. Look at Dallas' record over the last 2 years when Finley scores 20+....it's something like 40+ wins and about 3 or 4 losses. He wasn't forcing anything in Dallas but now that Nash is gone i'll assum he'll take a bigger role on offence.

what's with the wishy washy "kinda", "super kinda" comments, magius? c'mon, take a stand :twisted:

imo eddie jones used to be underrated back in his laker & hornet days then went to the overrated list once when he went to miami. now he bounced back with a solid season so that puts him in neither
