Another season of the NBA has come and gone, and another season has seen many players not get the recognition they deserve. And just like last year, I'm going to give my picks for who I think are the most underrated players at each position. The rules of this are simple No all-stars from this season No players who made an All-NBA team (All-Defensive and All-Rookie are still eligible) So with that out of the way, this is my 2019 All-NBA Underrated team. Point Guard: Mike Conley I've already talked about how Mike Conley was underrated two years ago, and the case is still the same. After missing the majority of the previous season following multiple injuries, Conley was able to bounce back in a big way and posted the best stat line of his career. For the season, Conley averaged a career-high 21.1 points, 3.4 rebounds, 6.4 assists, and 1.3 steals per game while shooting 44% from the field and 36% from three-point range. The Memphis Grizzlies still had a disappointin...

With the 2019-20 NBA season just about two months away, there is no shortage of players who are looking to make their mark in the league. From the incoming class of rookies to the star players now on championship-contending teams, they're all looking to prove something to everyone. Then there are these 11 players. From former all-stars looking to rebound after a rough season to sophomores looking to wash away the stink of a mediocre rookie season, these are the players that have more to prove than anyone else in the league. Now, I did want to give two honorable mentions to Bol Bol and Cam Reddish for this list. Bol was projected to be a lottery that slid all the way to the middle of the second round. He'll be looking to prove to everyone that he is still the lottery-level talent he was projected to be, but based on his draft position, I'm not sure if he'll be on the roster or in the G-League for most of the season. Reddish, on the other hand, had an underwhelming seaso...

As I did last year , I made a list of the players I thought would show significant improvement in the 2018-19 season . And just like last year, I'm going to take a look back at the nine players I wrote about back August of 2018. Who made noticeable improvements? Who stayed the same? Did Caleb Swanigan make me look smart after a full year of trying to hype him up? Let's find out. These are the nine players I thought would improve in the 2018-19 season, and how they really did. Dejounte Murray What I Said: "With Tony Parker out of the equation now and Patty Mills seemingly taking the backseat to Murray towards the end of the season, I'm predicting another season where Murray sees a solid increase in his stat line." What Actually Happened: I'm just going to get this one out of the way. Dejounte Murray obviously did not improve this past season, mostly because Murray didn't play this past season. Nine days before the season started and less than ...
