This thread was inspired by the mention of the likes of Lester, Taylor and Cutler in the review thread. This is the thread to discuss those who might not rack up the possessions or the goals or be the flashy players, but they get in and play their role, often being looked over or even becoming whipping boys to those less edumacated.

Role-players are just as important as the flashy goal-kickers or the possession sponges. Without them, there is no stability in the team. The flashy players can change games yes, but the role-players are the ones that keep the ship steady in hard weather.

And yes, I had to bring my boy into it. He's the epitome of this trope.
