Beat me to Thad Young.
 
John Henson
Trevor Ariza
The Morris Twins, more specifically Markieff. If those two were playing like that on a team that people expected more out of and cared, it'd be a huge story.
Mike Conley
Patty Mills
Nicolas Batum
Reggie Jackson

I think Batum and Shumpert are overrated.

Batum would be if he didn't make a sudden jump in play making ability last year, but since he has, I think he's an immensely valuable asset, especially at his size. Very versatile.

I like Batum, would take him on the Pels in a hot second. But there is this idea that he's this great defender, which just isn't the case. The playmaking is an interesting case, but I've heard he's kind of gone Rondo and passed up opportunities for himself to get the assists. I can't agree or disagree with that, because I haven't really watched his passing abilities, but it has caused his to% to skyrocket.

His scoring isn't down though, it's right on par with his last few years, so I don't think he's passing on scoring opportunities. If he was, well then this cat could be upwards to 18-20 ppg anyway. Without actually looking into any advanced numbers, it tells me that he's being used more, and he's just showcasing a more complete game.

Lance Stephenson--if he doesn't chuck it, he's a very efficient player who fills up the stat sheet.
Kyle Lowry--he's flat out disappeared, at times, over the past couple of years. Hopefully he's back, now.
Martell Webster--Very solid 3 who can play good defense
Kemba, as most people have mentioned
Taj Gibson would be the starter if the Bulls didn't need Boozer's scoring
Alan Anderson
 
Reggie in OKC
Jared Dudley
Goran Dragic
The Morris twins, particularly Marcus for his versatility as a defender. Hopefully he can start scoring as consistently as Markieff
Chandler Parsons. People know he's good but they don't seem to understand how important he is to the Rockets. They're practically helpless without him.
Dante Cunningham
Quincy Pondexter
Jordan Hill
Jason Thompson
Gordon Heyward

Big Cuz is underrated because of the lack of exposure he gets, but I dont believe anyone who actually follows basketball under-values him.

Patty Mills is a beast with his national team.
Mike Conley, Al Horford, Isaiah Thomas
