Derrick White tied for the most votes in the “league’s most underrated player” category of this year’s @TheAthleticNBA Player Poll. His backcourt mate Jrue Holiday finished 3rd.

1. Happy for them but I feel like joe/brad are not getting the credit they deserve to make this work. We’ve seen historically that just adding talent to a team doesn’t just turn them into a juggernaut.

2. Kyrie got votes for most underrated?

3. How in the world did SGA get 4th on this list???

4. You might as well throw Porzingis in there too. I think Porzingis is actually more underrated than Jrue who people at least acknowledge as one of the best defending guards in the NBA.

   There are still people to this day calling Porzingis the 4th or 5th option in Boston.

   I love when the media says things that show you that they don’t actually watch any games.

5. Don’t ignore the fact that Paul Pierce got a vote as the GOAT.

6. And he should be top 5 DPOY in my opinion.

7. I love Ingram.

   I can’t help but think he would playing way better with different coach and situation.

   I want pelicans to succeed but I don’t think they are nurturing him.

8. DWhite is definitely not underrated anymore. Everyone knows he’s a star

9. At this point if the Spurs get someone good with that pick swap the proper response is just “Good for you! :)”

10. Dude is an amoeba, he always seems to fit the role that’s needed on a night to night basis. JB is out and you need scoring? Here’s 25 points either way 4 threes. Need a facilitator to set up the Jays and KP? Here’s 8 assists.

11. At what point can we stop calling White underrated? If everyone says you’re underrated, than you stop being underrated.

12. I feel Buffalo is underrated, but this category is so weird. Being voted most underrated sort of proves you aren’t underrated.
