Hidden Gems

[novacat22]

Hello all, I just had a question. I like drafting a season with current NBA players a ton and I was wondering if there are any hidden gems. For example, someone on this board said they love playing with Exum. I tried him and he is quite amazing and is rated rather low. Are there other players like this? Thanks

Re: Hidden Gems

I think most speights is definitely underrated...I thinks he plays like a starter

Re: Hidden Gems

Thanks, it doesn't even have to be someone lower rated. Players that surprise you on how good they are despite ratings work too

Jared Dudley is lights out if open

Re: Hidden Gems

Andrew Bogut is a very good Centre for me and you can sign him cheap after the first season in My League.

Trey Burke is also really nice off the bench.

Will update if I remember more.

Joe Ingles routinely knocks dowm shots for me. Slow as molasses but can knock em down

Re: Hidden Gems

lucas nogueira is a gem as well. he's a monster on the boards and also averages double digit scoring on myleague.

Re: Hidden Gems

Gordon Hayward is extremely easy to score with in my opinion. Can hit almost every variation of jump shots, get to the rim, & play solid defense. Wish 2k didn't give him (& many others) the high school body build.

Re: Hidden Gems

In my Barons expansion myleague I will probably be losing Iggy in the next offseason.

Any recommendations for a guy who can guard the elite twos and threes in the league that will not be hard to acquire?

Manu, Patty and Jamal don't really qualify as "hidden" gems do they?? lol

Re: Hidden Gems

Trey Lyles and Mike Muscala have been big for me. Also from EmbraceThaPace's draft rosters, Stan Mykhailiuk who's at Kansas right now has a wicked quick release. If you can master it, he's going to have fantastic catch and shoot potential

Re: Hidden Gems

I have found Jaylen Brown is pretty amazing. The way Exum was/is. Gets to the rim and finishes. He is so quick other SFs can keep up.

Lol, I hear you man. But considering 2K's demographic has changed, I figure I'd throw them out there since they are all rated under 80, if I'm mistaken.

I know a big bearing on players abilities nowadays are their overall rating. Now a true NBA fan better not consider them hidden gems but if you don't watch the game, you may have no idea about these players.
