Introduction: An underrated or underappreciated NBA player is essentially a solid player that doesn’t receive enough love or credit for what they do. Being underrated or underappreciated is all up to the NBA fans or even the NBA, meaning that if you’re a good player and if NBA fans or the NBA don’t really know or care about you, you are considered underappreciated. If you haven’t already noticed, this season (2021) there are a lot of underappreciated NBA players that are contributing to their team more than ever, whether its offense or defense. For this series, I am going to be talking about 10 underappreciated/underrated NBA players that deserve more credit for their hard work.
