Players who are Underrated

[peternorth]

Tony Parker is probably the most underrated player going around. Great player who rarely gets mentioned in the point guard debate.

i believe its cause parker, isnt the flashy, baggy pant, gangster no look behind the back passer. he uses his smarts and pace. or perhaps as a PG, appears to be a scorer first, pass second (marginally)

Probably the fact that around here many seem to think David West is a better player.

Refer to one of the last posts of week 14 thread to debunk your claim.

Gordon Hayward- has all star written all over him in the right situation.

Mike Beasley- he is still young and already people have forgotten about him as capable as any player in the league, just messed up in the head

Chandler Parsons- probably the best best value for money player in the league

Derrick Williams- put him in a team that isn't run by a ****ing imbecile and he will give you 16 and 8 a night

Otis Smith and Scott Skiles among their number.

Nick Anderson went 1/2 from the charity stripe.

Past and Present

Past

Scottie Pippen (Playing with Jordon made him Underrated and some people act like he was just some role player)
Dominique Wilkins (Guy averaged over 25 PPG for like 10 Years in a row)
Bill Russell (The Guy won 11 rings)

All of those guys are very highly rated, not sure they could ask for much more recognition.

I agree that Parker is criminally underrated. Have a look at the Spurs record.
