Underused gems on other teams

I was going to say Dwayne Dedmon from the Spurs but I see he's been averaging over 24 MPG (and a double-double) in his last five games. He's a rebounding stud (TRB = 21.5%), but I'd guess at 24 MPG, he's no longer considered underused.

Chinanu Onuaku from HOU - but only if we bring back Mike Rice to butcher his name.

Alex Len - PHO. He's kind of the anti-Meyers. Not much range on his shot - 47 of his 140 made FGs have been dunks, which is consistent with his career average of 34% of his made FGs being dunks. His average FG distance is 6.1 feet. But, he does big man things like rebound and block shots (17.8% TRB%, 5.3% BLK%).

For comparison, 11% of Meyers' made FGs are dunks, his average FG distance is 19.0 feet, his TRB% is 11.0 and his BLK% is 2.0.

Like Meyers, he's 7'1", but over a year younger.

Nerlens Noel - PHI. Just had to say it again. I've been driving the Noel bandwagon since September. In spite of being 100% healthy and having a PER over 20, he's still only getting 18 MPG in PHI.

Neil, make it happen already!

Greg Monroe - MIL. Six months ago, I would have never dreamed I'd consider Greg Monroe a gem of any kind, but he's actually been plying damn well for MIL this year coming off the bench. Even his defense is improved. His PER (21.3) is greater than his MPG (21.2). He's even passing the ball well. His AST% of 16.1 isn't quite as good as Mason Plumlee's (21.4)m but still damn good for a big man.

Tim Frazier, Cristiano Felício, Willy Hermangomez, Ben Mac.

What about D-League legend and our very own summer leaguer Pierre Jackson? If Napier isn't getting a chance maybe Jackson would.
Another player I like is Joe Jackson, he actually signed in Israel this season and was released shortly after but I think it was for having hard time adjusting to playing far from home more than anything else.
I also like Noriega from the Raptors and of course the once a Blazer, always a Blazer, Thomas Robinson

Skal Labissière is a Haitian professional basketball player for the Sacramento Kings. He graduated from Lausanne Collegiate School in Memphis, Tennessee (?????). He is 6'10 and weighs 195 lbs.
Great name BUT......he would be a straw in a beer bottle especially for a post up player.

Harrell looks like a good aquisition as he knows the Houston system, is a young 2013 drafted player, 6'8", played under Petino in Louisvill and makes a paultry 1.2 mil per year.

Roy Baker

Ron. Yes, except don't the Knicks really like him now?

Obviously Nurkic would be another example.

Okay, one down...

Finally had a good game. What with him and Cauley Stein, you can see why the Kings were ready to move on from Cousins.
