Dale Ellis and Terrell Brandon came to mind for me, Cliff Robinson (the ex Wiz, not Uncle Cliffy) is a great choice too.

Sean Kemp is hardly underrated; people talk about him in conversations about 10 best PFs and he isn't close to that level; Schrempf however is another good choice.

No one is going to give Fast Eddie credit after the child molestation stuff . . . Terrell Brandon and Dale Ellis were the two I thought of first . . . love the Cliff Robinson one (not Uncle Cliffy but the other Cliff), he even played for Washington and I still forgot him.

Horace Grant anyone?

Kevin Willis - was usually second to Dennis Rodman in rebounding, or close to top 5 most of his seasons.

David Robinson - Today people cream their pants over 20/10, well how about 25/12/4/3/2... Admiral won the IBM award multiple times... its basically PER...


Jeff Hornacek - Was old school version of Ginobili/Hamilton... not as athletic as these 2, but better 3 pointer.... similar in terms of defensive ability... better play maker... SMART.


Mark Price - Like Steve Nash, not as creative play making, but was as adept as a shooter and smart too.


Brad Daugherty - Tim Duncan... but not as good defensively. Just a shame injuries cut his career so short.

Otis Thorpe, Detlef Schremptf, Derrick Mckey, Kenny Anderson, Derrick Coleman, Dan Majerle, Rony Seikaly, Steve Smith, Kevin Duckworth, Cliff Robinson, A C Green, Mitch Richmond, Chris Mullin, Kevin Johnson, Tim Hardaway, Hershey Hawkins etc more....

That was a DIFFERENT Eddie Johnson, not "fast eddie." "Fast Eddie" actually had to come on ESPN shortly after the story broke to explain. He was getting hate mail and threats because some pervert who happened to share his name and got 2 minutes of playing time in the NBA got arrested.

Here's another underrated early 90's guy: The Portland Trailblazer's version of Kevin Duckworth. Big, solid and skilled. That late 80s/early ninties Blazers group had a lot of underrated guys though: Buck Williams, Jerome Kersey, Terry Porter . . .

Mark Price and Mitch Richmond are VERY underrated. I think price is totally forgotten, unnecessarily.
