I picking Darrell Arthur as most underrated. He has the talent to be Chris Bosh 2.0 and is a hard worker. I also like Tyler Smith. He will be a starter in the league imo. Very versatile and a gamer. Last i think Alexis Ajinca will be a household name within the next five years. He is long athletic skilled and from what ive seen a hard worker.

big time D Arthur fan here.....thing is I don't think he is underrated on actual NBA team big boards, rather, just on internet mocks and discussion forums

another underrated player is Courtney Lee

I :love: Marreese Speights from Florida...IMO he'd be a steal anywhere outside the top 10. I'd love Mullin forever if he could pick him up at #14.

Darrell Arthur is not better than Brandan Wright.

I dont think anyone in the lottery can really be "underrated" a great deal, but Eric Gordon has been getting the brunt of people's crap lately and I think he will be, at the very least, as good as Ben Gordon. Underrated...whoever this year's token "undersized power forward" (DJ White?), a point guard who is "too small" (DJ Augustin), or perhaps a seasoned college veteran who played for a small school (Jason Thompson)...

DJ White, I think he's going to be the player in this year's draft who pulls a Carl Landry/Leon Powe/Jason Maxiell/Paul Millsap.

JaVale McGee in round 1 and J.R. Giddens in round 2.

I agree with Giddens. Whoever gets him in the 2nd is getting a low risk high reward guy.

Trent Plaisted-Super athletic, a ton of upside and lightning quick post moves.

JJ Hickson-A man child, athletic, and solid upside.

Jamont Gordon-doesn't do anything exceptional but does everything good, at very least IMHO a solid defender at next level.
