Underrated and Underappreciated NBA players (#10)

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.

(Note: this is not a list that is sorted from least underrated to most underrated, it is just underrated players in general)

 

10. Miles Bridges

Into his 3^rd NBA season with the Hornets, Miles Bridges is a very underrated NBA player. He is mostly known for his dunking and breathtaking athletics abilities, and his vertical jump is at 43 inches. This year, Miles Bridges is literally putting on a dunking show for Hornet fans, putting grown men on posters, catching and dunking lobs, and showing great slashing capabilities. This year he is averaging a solid 11.5 ppg, 6 RPG, and 2.1 APG (April 23^rd, 2021). Additionally, he is averaging a great percentage from the field and free-throw line, (50% FGP and 85.2% from the free-throw line). He is a young NBA player, only 23 years old. If he can avoid injuries, then in future years he has the potential of being an all-star and a great player in general.
