Normally, I'd wait until after the NBA Draft to post this, but because the world has gone to actual Hell in the last few months, the draft isn't happening until October and frankly, I don't want to wait that long. And because this is my blog and I can do what I want, here we are. It's been ten years since the 2010 recruiting class graduated high school, committed to the colleges of their choices, and made the next step towards the NBA. These 10 players topped the rank of ESPN's top 100 recruits, and today, I'll look at how their professional basketball careers turned out. But before I start, here are some notable players who didn't crack the top 10. Tim Hardaway Jr. ranked 93rd. Hardaway Jr. would commit to Michigan, playing for three seasons before declaring for the 2013 NBA Draft. Hardaway Jr. was selected with the 24th pick in the draft by the New York Knicks. He has played for Knicks, the Atlanta Hawks, and (currently) the Dallas Mavericks over seven sea...

With another week of the NBA season in the books, in the pocket, and out of sight, it's time to take a look at the best players of the last week. If you missed last week's, click here . If not, let's get into it, these are the 10 best players of the week. Harrison Barnes The Dallas Mavericks have about as bad of a start to the season as the possibly could, currently sitting at a 2-11 record and are tied with the Atlanta Hawks for the worst record in the NBA right now. However, one person who was a slight bright spot for the team was Harrison Barnes, who had a strong performance this week. For the week, Barnes averaged 27 points and 10.5 rebounds per game while shooting 54% from the field and 57% from three-point range. If only played for a team that wasn't hot garbage. Kevin Durant As the Golden State Warriors continue to be one of the best teams in the NBA (surprising no one), Kevin Durant took the lead this week and helped the Warriors win both of their gam...

There are so many talented players in the NBA that it's easy to miss some of them. Not every player gets the same attention that LeBron James or Stephen Curry does, but that doesn't mean that they aren't talented enough to be put in the spotlight. So I thought I'd take a look at who I think are the most underrated players at each position in the NBA, along with a few honorable mentions. Let's get right into it, this is my All-NBA Underrated Team. Point Guard: Mike Conley The point guard position in the NBA is so stacked right now that there are definitely some really good ones that get lost in the shuffle. I was debating between Mike Conley & Bledsoe for this spot, but in the end, I went with Conley. Last season, Conley averaged 20.5 points, 6.3 assists, and 1.3 steals per game while shooting 46% from the field and 41% from three-point range and leading the Memphis Grizzlies in points & assists. Conley continued his great play in playoffs, averaging...
