George went with some interesting candidates for the distinction of being the most underrated in the league today, starting with Cam Thomas of the Brooklyn Nets, who has made a name for himself over the last couple of years for his scoring prowess.
The perennial All-Star then went on to name Jalen Williams of the Oklahoma City Thunder, followed by defensive-minded guard Derrick White of the Boston Celtics, Naz Reid of the Minnesota Timberwolves. and finally, Phoenix Suns sharpshooter Grayson Allen.
It’s not a bad list of players who need to get a bit more respect for what they are able to do in the league on a nightly basis, and it’s clear that George pays attention to his opponents and keeps tabs on players who should get more credit.
