Most Overrated/Underrated NBA Players
Most Overrated - Tracey McGrady, Jermaine Oneil, Vince Carter, Chris Bosh

Most Underrated - Gerald Wallace, Brandon Roy, John Salmons, Al Jefferson, Al Thorton

Looks like Danny Granger is starting to get his do so I do not have him on the list.

Also, a player who I think has always been underrated, although his stats are not the greatest, but what he brings to a team is huge imo, is Darryl Armstrong! Dude brings energy and life to a team and he is now doing it for Dallas. Just my opinion!

Elton Brand SO overrated IMO. People always call him underrated, I see the exact opposite. Never one to take a game over, never won anywhere he's been, never healthy.

Danny Granger underrated, Trevor Ariza underrated, Monta Ellis still fits this for me as well, been injured almost the entire season.

Jeff Green for OKC is a really solid player. I think he is way under the radar.

jason kidd isn't overrated. when he was in his prime he was a top 3/5 point guard. he is what he is now and most people know that.

KEvin Martin, Danny Granger Underrated. Both score the crap out of the ball and Granger even plays good Defense.

Deron Williams is very underrated. People think Paul is way ahead but I disagree. Dwill is the perfect point guard, I'll take him over Paul.

Overrated: Amare...no impact on the game whatsoever

Calderon doesn't play any defense..but he does hit that money 3 and has very good PG vision which he isn't recognized much for.
