5 NBA Players Who Never Get Enough ❤️

They're not All-Stars. They just play like they are.

Let’s talk about the players who deserve more recognition — the kind of undervalued players who really help teams win.

These players tend to …

🏀 Play good defense, often in ways that don’t fit into counting stats.

🏀 Move the ball or take immediate action when they have it.

🏀 Avoid needless turnovers.

🏀 Put the team first. You won't see them complaining to the referees while the play is still going, for instance.

We are using advanced stats — including my xRAPM metric — to determine how each player performs on a per-possession or per-minute basis. That helps us drill down to their actual quality of play.

And we’re including video clips for these five to demonstrate their special skill sets.

We’re talking about five players today, with five more to come.
