Who are some of the most underrated forwards in the NBA right now? (with the exception of Gasol)

JAMISON! He's over-rated! He's suppose to be the GS star, and he's a 6th man at best.

You'll have to check his last couple games (and favorable sched after ASB). I read a pretty good article a couple weeks on ESPN about him too. Good read, if you can find it.

When Jamison comes to play he's a good player.
The problem is that he's been having these mood swings (Just like a woman!!). So some days he shows up and some days he shows up and plays.

I don't know if having Fortson in the lineup is really bothering him or if he's just not getting to the ball more often. I mean last year he put a 50 on Kobe and/or Carter, I believe.

Are you talking about under-rated from an NBA point of view? or under-rated from a TSN pricing point of view?

They are decidedly different questions.

He put up 50 on consecutive nights last year, as well. What are your or anyone's thoughts picking up GS players after the all star break. Him, Fortson, and I believe Hughes are all in gravity. I am always hesitant to pick up someone losing 30k a day, but their schedule is solid for a while.

under-rated from a TSN price point-of-view:

Popeye Jones: 24.5 TSPN/game (past 30 days) for $700K

Jon Bender: will be getting more PT the rest of the season. Still @ $500K

Jerome Williams: Will always give you 20 TSPN/game but will always be in gravity. Currently $720K and dropping.

under-rated in the real NBA:

Popeye Jones: Ditto from above.

Malik Rose: Does everything to help SaS win without noteriety.

Clarence Weatherspoon: Got Boards?

P.J. Brown: Got Rebounds? V2.1

Wally Z: Can shoot, play 2 positions. if only D wasn't part of the game.

Rick Fox: Over 5 RB, 3.5 ASST and more for defnding champs.

Turkoglu, Hidayet: Rick Fox-like contributions.

Van Horn & K-Mart: Solid contributors for #1 rated NJ Nets.

Tim Thomas & Rodney Rogers: 6th man of year candidates.

Cliff Robinson: shoots 3's and defends C's

Does Mike Doleac play forward?

From a TSN pricing point of view, I could make a very strong case that the most under-rated forward is Chris Webber. Pau Gasol is also a strong contender.

Actually, there are 23 Fs w/ a better TSPN/G/M$ than Kirilenko.

I agree he is a great F value, but i tried to hit on some te undiscovered sleepers to date.
