Most Underrated NBA Players

Carmelo Anthony isn't overrated, but these NBA players are.

Carmelo Anthony to Visit Houston, Dallas, and Chicago - We’ve heard all about the teams interested in the services of Carmelo Anthony. Well now official team visits are coming to fruition for the New York Knicks small forward. ESPN is reporting that Melo has decided to first visit the Houston Rockets, Dallas Mavericks, and Chicago Bulls once teams are allowed to meet with free agents on July 1. In addition, also according to ESPN, even though the Los Angeles Lakers aren’t on Anthony’s current visit list, their superstar Kobe Bryant plans to recruit Melo to the team. Bryant, a close friend of Anthony’s, spoke to Melo earlier this week and plans to meet with him as well.(Photo: Ezra Shaw/Getty Images)
Kyle Lowry - We begin with Kyle Lowry, a bulldog of a point guard for the Toronto Raptors. Don’t believe us? At just six feet, Lowry gave his competition that work last year, posting averages of 17.9 points, 7.4 assists and 4.7 rebounds per game. The kid’s thorough. He then upped his scoring average to just over 21 points per game during the playoffs.  (Photo: Claus Andersen/Getty Images)
Phoenix Suns - Under first-year coach Jeff Hornacek, the Phoenix Suns battled for a playoff spot till the very end of the season before just coming up short in an ultra-competitive Western Conference. The Suns' aim now should be keeping its core intact, perhaps looking to add a veteran in the offseason, and making the playoff cut in 2015. By all means, their ambition should be to keep two-guard Goran Dragic (20 points per game this season) from leaving at the end of next season. There's also the matter of signing a long-term deal with restricted free agent Eric Bledsoe. (Photo: Christian Petersen/Getty Images)Arron Affalo - Don’t’ sleep on Arron Afflalo. All the 6-foot-5, 215-pound shooting guard has done is improve his scoring in each and every season. Think about this…Afflalo went from averaging 3.7 points per game in limited action during his rookie year to posting a career-high 18.2 points per game last season with the Orlando Magic. Now back with the Denver Nuggets, just imagine what he has in store for 2014-15.  (Photo: Hannah Foslien/Getty Images)

Sorry Melo, But These Guys Are Really Underrated - Carmelo Anthony told ESPN on Wednesday that he thinks he’s “the most underrated superstar” in the NBA. C’mon, ’Melo. The facts that you have seven All-Star appearances to your name and won the scoring title in the 2012-13 season doesn't make you an underrated superstar. However, if Anthony wants underrated, we’ll will give him a list of unsung players in the league.(Photo by Ezra Shaw/Getty Images)
