Unsung Player Day!
Where to begin!!!
So many players, so many obvious ones too: Kenyon Martin, Joakim Noah, Andrew Bynum etc.
But for me I like a person who slips under the radar, and is a true role player.
So at 400 years old, I salute you Theo Ratliff. Seriously, how good is this guys interior D??? He doesn't do a lot more, and who needs him too??? He's solid as a rock around the basket, and alters as many shots as he challenges. Honestly, I feel Larry Brown is the master of choosing role players, and he's got the best out of Ratliff when he looked all washed up.
I do have another couple I'd like to mention:
- JJ Reddick: You truly are the best 3pt shooter in the league...
- Ty Lawson: Chauncey was awful for a while there and you slotted in nicely...
- Darius Songaila: Another 400 y/o who keeps on banging down low. It's a sad indictment on Okafor, West and Wright when Songaila is easily your best low post, defensive weapon.
