Underrated: Tony Parker - This guy delivers consistently every single night. He can shoot, create his own shot, and pass with the best of them. Yet he is never in the conversation with the derrick rose or chris paul's of the game. Bleacher report has him ranked ninth behind the likes of jason kidd and chauncey billups.


Overrated: Russell Westbrook - Or as skip bayless likes to say, Russell WestBRICK. Horrible decision making, takes way too many bad shots, doesn't distribute the ball at all. If he realized that the offense should run through Durant, the thunder may already have a championship.



Who do you think?

I guess if we're talking contracts overrated has to be the Asian Invasion in Houston.

Underrated for me is Mr. Lawson.

Over Chris Paul or Derrick Rose? No way.

I consider those guys scoring point guards, while rondo is a pure facilitator and floor general. But as overall players I would take paul and rose

i wouldn't say most underrated...but i think everyone is completely wrong here.....jeremy lin is for sure underrated.

everyone i talk to thinks he sucks....absolutely everyone thinks he sucks and is overrated.....if you ask me that means people rate im pretty low....hence, by definition, underrated.

kyle lowry has to be considered under rated, and by the end of the year damian lillard will be one of the top pgs (top 15).

Lillard is really neat to watch - he doesn't act or play like a rookie... Very composed, knows that Aldridge and Batum aren't leaders and that he himself needs to fill that role.

Overrated I always go Nash... Dude only plays one end of the court

right now he's not an MVP, so right now he's overrated - he plays offense only... next to useless on the defensive end. Good thing they went with D'antoni . Last time this thread came up, I said the same thing.

Why can't a HOF'er be overrated...? I don't see how they're mutually exclusive. Oscar Robertson is a HOF'er too, but I wouldn't say Nash was ever as good as Oscar Robertson.

True, but last year he was 2nd in the league in assists. He is a liability on defense but his offense play is pretty darn good. Plus that was their game plan. Even after D'antoni left. Just play offense

underrated - Jose Calderon & Eric Bledsoe.... Career underrated Andre Miller

Paul is a pass 1st PG. I do agree with you on Rose, him and Westbrook are converted SGs to PGs
