i can proudly say no, i would care less. id realize hes a 10-12th man at best

Do you watch basketball? He's not a 10-12 man, if you were educated you would have noticed last night he was knocking down some clutch free-throws in the Lakers win over the Mavericks. He pretty much played the whole 4th quarter guarding Jason Kidd. Educate yourself before you make claims.

Without a doubt, Roger Mason. Every good game he has makes me cringe because I know there are dozens of teams that will be vying for him this off season.

Anthony Parker for the Raptors I guess.

I think it'll be Louis Williams.

i have to go with theo ratliff. everyone thinks he's out of the league, but he's a decent backup big who will be useful to detroit's run this year

I like the suggestions of Rasho Nesterovic and Roger Mason Jr.

Mason Jr has really turned his career around and is a free agent at the end of the season too. Rasho is a guy who doesn't pout or anything and just makes the most of his oppurtunities.

As for Kevin Durant and Andrea Bargnani, I think they get more than enough recognition as is and Bargnani has been very inconsistent this season.

Yeah, Thad will be absolutely beastly in the future. Love him already.

For Dallas, it's gotta be Dampier. Dude gets no love for the tough defense and rebounding he provides. Is he overpaid? Yes. But he's not the trash people make him out to be.

Yet another vote for Anthony Parker on the Raps.

I like Anthony Parker as well, but the one thing that I really don't get is when Bosh was out of the lineup, he was putting up some great numbers. I want him to put those kind of numbers up when Bosh is in the lineup. I know Bosh gets a lot of touches, but he also attracts double teams.

But his road to the NBA the second time is just amazing. That's pure dedication on his part.

Luis Scola.

Once he get more respect from his teammates, he`s gonna shine.

Jamario Moon.

He came from nowhere...and look now where he is few months later.

Hard workers, hustlers, and guys which bring a lot of energy:
Turiaf, Maxiell, Bass, Varejao...

Nick Collison is underated. Playing on a team with no perimiter defense whatsoever, and with no center, he has put in a workhorse effort this year at power forward trying to take on not only his own check but helping out the rest of the sorry lot of Sonics defenders.

A great rebounder, decent offensive player, and a blue collar player. He'll never make any highlight reels but he's the type of coachable player that every team could use inside.

We Piston fans are very pleased with Theo thus far; he has been a VERY welcome addition to the Pistons' interior D. However, being that he's a late addition to the team I'll go with Amir Johnson. He's still rough on offense, but every time he's in the game good things happen defensively. Great rebounder and shot blocker and gives tireless effort.

Rodney Stuckey is playing phenomenally of late but had some rough spots during the season otherwise he'd be a serious candidate.

For the Wizards, it's undoubtedly Roger Mason Jr.

He has been consistently solid off the bench, every game. He is just one of those players where you're surprised when they miss. Add to that the fact he's not embarrassingly bad on defense and that he's a competent ball-handler (much needed, with Arenas' absence all year) and you have yourself an unexpectedly good sub.

I would have given it to Haywood who is putting up career numbers, but we on the Wiz Board pretty much expected his production, since all he needed was increased minutes and the threat of Etan Thomas taking his starting spot being thrown out of the window.
