  It's Monday, you know what that means! It's time to take a look back at the past week and see who the best players were around the league. Selections are based mostly on the player's stats, but (minus the rookie of the week) their team's record during the week is also taken into consideration. Click here to check out last week's if you missed it . If not, let's get into this. Point Guard: Stephen Curry As I said last week, the Golden State Warriors have been going through a rough patch the last few years. While they're not nearly as bad as they were last season, injuries have kept the Warriors well below where they were just two years. Currently 25-28 on the year after a 2-2 week, the Warriors find themselves in 10th in the West, holding onto the final spot in the play-in tournament by just a game and a half. The Warriors are holding on by a thread, and it's been Stephen Curry who's been keeping them afloat this year. For the week, Curry averaged 3...

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...

It was no secret that the Los Angeles Clippers were among the favorites to land the reigning Finals MVP Kawhi Leonard. Not only did they manage to sign the Leonard away from the defending champion Toronto Raptors, but they also acquired one of the best players in the league today along the way. Along with Leonard, the Clippers completed a trade with the Oklahoma City Thunder to get MVP-candidate Paul George in exchange for Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, Danilo Gallinari, four unprotected first-round picks (The Clippers' 2022, 2024, and 2026 picks and the Miami Heat's 2021 pick), the Clippers lottery protected 2023 first-round pick, and the right to swap picks with the Clippers in 2023 and 2025. Aside from the Brooklyn Nets, it's hard to argue that any team has had a bigger offseason than the Los Angeles Clippers after these huge moves. First off, they're adding Kawhi Leonard on a 4-year, $140.79 million deal. As I said, Leonard is coming off a single season with the Ra...
