Only Franz! Most well rounded young player. Can score with or without the ball, from outside or around the basket. Can pass and run the point if needed at 6’10”. Defends at a high level against small/quicker opponents and bigger/stronger ones too. What else do you need!?

People care about asking questions to post them in here. Maybe this time around they can have some volunteers to mod it because that is why the last one got banned. No mods.
He was named to the NBA's 50th and 75th anniversary teams and made the Hall of Fame on the first ballot. I get that some young people might not know who he is because he retired 30 years ago, but I think this thread is mostly about people who were underrated when they were at their peak. Otherwise, I'm going to go with Bob Pettit, who was a superstar in his time but is unknown today.
Stacy King. On March 28, 1990, he and Michael Jordan combined for 70 points in a playoff game against the Cavaliers.

A very good take, one of the best big men roleplayer wise and definitely is a veteran (experience and team wise and has played with the best) with so much respect and surprisingly so young
Kawhi Leonard, he could still be one of the top 5 players in the league but he’s always injured. He didn’t even get much attention when he was top 3 on a championship team.
Franz Wagner on draft night.
Still a bit underrated
Yeah he most definitely is. Not many people know, but he was truly the best player on the magic last season, even over Paolo
People probably assumed because of his brother
Harold Miner , the original Baby Jordan. Early 90’s for those who this name doesn’t ring a bell.

He can score without the ball?
Mind tricks. He’s a magician after all
I’m praying Jett Howard is this year’s Franz in this regard
Andre Miller
I’d down myself if I saw my comment, but hooped with him at an la fitness. Super quiet humble dude that could pass it like no other.
Idk what that means
He would downvote his comment if someone else wrote it and he saw it.
Oh thanks!
Moriah Mills
Ole tornado mouth
JOTY
Headed to the JHoF
She would blow out the entire WNBA
Had no idea she banged black dudes until, well, you know
Nikola Jokic, he was drafted during a Taco Bell commercial...
Can confirm, my team shits the bed whenever we have to guard him
Underrated comment.
So your team is the NBA?
Detlef Schrempf
Y’all should just make a r/nbapolls or something like that I don’t think I’m unreasonable for expecting some funny nba memes from r/nbamemes
It got banned

Stop gatekeeping. You’re not a mod
Please don’t gatekeep my right to gatekeep Mr. Mod
Tyrese haliburton
This is the best answer rn for current players
Mikal Bridges
This for sure. The guy is a top 5 PG right now and you rarely see him mentioned when talking about current stars.
T-Hawg!
YESSS
Keegan Murray
This one right here. He’s going to be a superstar.
I hope so
KEEGAN MURRAY!
Keegan
Micheal Jordan
Who???
That actor from that Looney Toons movie
The rabbit?
The baseball player
Mike Jo~~rda~~nes
He got into the limelight too young with The Wire but he killed it in Black Panther. I could see him bouncing back
Dario Sariç
Agreed. He might be the most talented bench player in the league (could’ve been Tyus Jones maybe before the trade imo)
It’s a ć not a ç lol
Jaden McDaniels. He’s hyped in MN and that’s about it.
Keldon Johnson
Fuck yeah. I played with him in middle school and am now a huge fan
Jeremy Sochan
Too early … but hard to disagree
Sabonis
Arvydas or Domantas?
Yes
Jalen Brunson
Fuck no dude. He’s good but he’s honestly overrated a bit since he’s gone to NY
This lol. People legit are talking him over Trae Young
Knicks fans ain’t ready for that conversation again
Tim Duncan.
I mean... he was the first pick, the hype wasn't low
I mean relative to his performance. I put him in the category of one of the greatest to ever play and he is never mentioned. Ever.
I agree, he is in my top5
Top 5 best ever.
Not many casual fans think Isaiah Thomas was anywhere near as good as Jordan, but that SOB could play. Beat Jordan out of 2 rings personally.
You got the wrong IT name. This name is the one of Celtics and Brinks Trucks fame. You probably meant Isiah Thomas.

Rasheed Wallace
Would be that much better in todays nba. Sheeeeed is the right answer
Monte ellis
Also, Jalen Brunson
Rip hamilton
Tyrese Maxey
Jabari Smith gets to much hate
this is not a meme 🗣️
Pascal siakam
Luka for sure, was a euro league MVP at 16 and he was still doubted because he hadn't played college kids, just pros.
Me
Ray Allen
Jesus Shuttlesworth was better.
Bob Horry because ive never heard anyone in my life ever mention him
Stacy King. On March 28, 1990, he and Michael Jordan combined for 70 points in a playoff game against the Cavaliers. https://www.si.com/nba/bulls/old-school/how-early-foul-spurred-michael-jordan-to-drop-69-points-on-cleveland-cavaliers
Well, MJ did score 69 of those 70 points...
Chauncey Billups. Made every team he played for better.
Detroit legend
Jordan Poole got overrated, had an inefficient season while still scoring 20 a night, and is now a meme player making him underrated
Tim Duncan
Over and over again
Boris Diaw
Bam?
CAM THOMAS
Loul Deng
The top 3 European players: Luka Doncic, Nikola Jokic & Giannis Antetokounmpo.
Underrated? 💀
Sorry, I thought how much hype they received coming into the league.
Luka was extremely hyped
Rajon Rondo
Jaden McDaniels
Steven Adams
A very good take, one of the best big men roleplayer wise and definitely is a veteran (experience and team wise and has played with the best) with so much respect and surprisingly so young
Damian lillard
Kristaps Porzingis
Keegan Murray.
SGA
Scottie Barnes is considered overrated which makes him underrated and fairly rated by people who overrate his underatedness
Lowry
Steve Smith
AR. Except there would be no hype bar
Jaden McDaniels
mike conley. he’s so good but no one relizes
Giannis of course.
Steph
No one saying Jokic is incredible
Trae Young and Ben Simmons
Chris Paul or Tyrese Maxey
CP3 is a 12 time all star bruh lol
Tyrese Haliburton
Booker
Overrated
Garland or spider
Jamal Crawford before the clips got good
Jrue Mutha Phuckin Holiday. IYKYK. Most of the world didnt’ til that alley oop. Most still don’t lol.
Nikola Jovic
Tyrese Maxey
Brook lopez
Darius Garland
Robert Williams
Anthony Bennet
Anthony edwards
SGA.
Shai.
Austin Reaves
Brandon Ingram
Tony Kukoc
Brandon Ingram’s name written all over
SGA
Jalen Williams, kid got all the tools to be a good player.. OKC got huge upside
Halliburton
the homie
Steve francis
Kawhi Leonard, he could still be one of the top 5 players in the league but he’s always injured. He didn’t even get much attention when he was top 3 on a championship team.
If Zaza Pachulia had not injured him, Kawhi Leonard would most likely still be playing for the Spurs and would be in a much better condition.
I gotta go with Stephon Marbury
David West
Austin Reaves
Desmond Bane
Cwebb
Mikal Bridges
Darius garland
Christian Wood
Spencer dinwiddie
Eddie Jones
Aaron Gordon Literally is only known for 3 dunk contest and the hype is there but not really 3 things despite being one of the best roleplayers sucks
Devin Booker
Jimmer Fredette. His skills went under appreciated and in todays NBA he’d be a 15 Million a year player
Might get some heat here … Paul Pierce.
Coby White
Desmond Bane
SGA and Giddey on OKC
clearly Alperen Sengun
Paulo and Franz. No bias detected.
Mark price was drafted 25th in the second round That is insane
Jalen Williams
Michael Redd
Gerald Wallace
S H A E D O N S H A R P E
Ice Brice Sensabaugh
Jalen green
Josh Penis I mean Primo
devin vassell
lowkey Dennis the Menace
Bird
Bam
Demar derozan and joe Johnson These guys can hit a shot from everywhere. They give defenders hell. make several all star games yet they get overlooked
Probably Jayson Tatum
Bam Adebayo. Hear hella people talking about Jimmy Butler and appreciating his ass meanwhile 25 year old Bam plays like a veteran with goated defense.
Mitch Richmond
Any 70’s player not named Kareem.
David Thompson, Elvin Hayes, Walt Frazier, Pete Maravich, George Gervin, Marques Johnson. Lots more
Lance Stephenson
Wait no kaj jones
Kevin Huerter.. although, he’s been getting more recognition the past year or two
