Who were some good (not great) players everyone forgot about?

[Thebesteva]

Who are some solid players in the last 10-20 years that everyone forgot about in the average NBA world?

Here are a few that come to mind:

OP said good players.

[Sean Cagney]

Terell Brandon for the Cavs, Hersey Hawkins, Kenny Anderson, Dale Ellis, Mahommed Abdul Rauf, Bimbo Coles, Derick Coleman, Nick Anderson, Stacy Augmon, Pooh Richardson, Elden Campbell, Vernon Maxwell, Xavier Mcdaniel, Adrian Dantley, Ron Tarpley, Terry Cummings, Otis Thorpe, Alvin Robertson. So damn many you can name, NBA used to be fucking great in the early and mid 90's.

Rik Smits comes to mind as well as Big Smooth Sam Perkins as well, both good shooters for big men.

And you are the one to lecture on restraint?

Give it a rest Dale.

You can't find anyone who was not good and remembered. That's it.

[JoeTait75]

Mark Price and Brad Daugherty. They're to the Cavaliers what guys like Bob Love and Norm Van Lier are to the Bulls- outstanding players who are overshadowed both by the players that beat them and the players on their own franchise that came after them.

[Pelicans78]

My man Gugs was my favorite player in the 90s. Whatever team he played for, I rooted for them.

[ambchang]

Gugliotta was great. So was Jimmy Jackson and Laphonzo Ellis.

Aside from Shaq and Mourning, that draft also had Sprewell, Robert Horry, Walt Williams, Clarence Weatherspoon, Todd Day (was decent before his injuries), Anthony Peeler, Lee Mayberry, Oliver Miler, Doug Christie, Tracey Murray, Hubert Davis and Popeye Jones.

it was a deep draft.

Deport him he wouldn't stand for the national anthem. Also, lest we forget Clifford Robertson and Cedric Ceballos. D-D-D-Dennis Scott. Steve Francis had his moments as well (Harden's triple double was the first playoff one recorded by a Rocket since him).

But why try on this board, everyone here knows the 90's were horrific basketball compared to today, according to this board anyways.

Richard Dumas before going back to drugs

What a waste.... When Westphal woke up in the middle of the 93 Finals and finally gave more minutes to Dumas, he raped Pippen tbh :lol

[Caltex2]

Muggsy Bogues, I'm surprised Shaq didn't step on him during their overlapping careers.
Tom Chambers, though he didn't play within the last 20 years.

Christian Laetner. He didn't make the impact he did in college but make no mistake he was a solid NBA player and even made an All-Star team.

From 1990 (27 yrs old) to 1999
PPG 16.8
TRB 7.4
APG 4.1
FG% .501
3PT 39%


No wonder he was so bitter about the 2000 Blazers. He did finish 6th on the team in MPG

Eddie would have been the perfect Spur, could defend and he could shoot the ball as well. I liked his humble attitude as well, he would have FIT right in with the Spurs org. Joe Dumars was my other fave who would have fit right in with the Spurs, could not add him to the list though because he is in the HOF and obviously was a great player. My two fave non Spurs or up there, Jones and Dumars.
Toni Kukoc. An assured winner. An exemplary professional basketball player.

I liked Kukoc alot as a player, very underrated. He could ball.

"Legacy" narratives were invented by obsessive sports journalists. No matter what happens, if a college player came into the league as "the next Chris Paul" he would have huge shoes to fill.
