whats your favorite Underrated/Underachiever of 2013-14?

this kind of different from the typical favorite wiz player thread. Lets focus on the underrated/underachievers on the team.

Which of them on your underachiever list you like most, and would still be willing to work with?

For me it would be KS. I like his hook. He need better skills in other areas. but that hook is killer, need to lock him up. lol. :lol:

To answer the spirit of the thread, I'd have to say Trevor Booker.

Underrated and underachiever don't mean the same thing.
Eric Maynor is the worst basketball player I've ever seen.

Hey Pancakes, violent agreement - if Booker developed a 3 point shot would we be talking about a stretch 4?

Of course his FT% is kind of going in the wrong direction :(

Yeah, I want underrated players, and I don't want underachievers, so... I don't get what the OP is going for.

Yes, true - but what if - I hope that is the point of the post because underachievers you stay that way :(

Nice to have Webster though...

Well, in fairness, we took Mike Pence off their hands. Taking back Mahinmi is the least they can do.

Underrated has to be G-Wiz

Underachiever, I expect more from G-Man.

Man ill never understand the appeal of those basketball costume guys like G-Man and others around the league. I mean shouldnt G-Man be in a suit and standing out the front checking people for bombs?

G-Wiz is for the kids obviously, children of all ages, the lovable team mascot always goofing off and hijinks etc. but who the hell are these basketball-man things for? They dont appeal to me at all and quite frankly they freak me out more than anything.
