Second-Team All-Underrated (backcourt) 

Point guard: Jamal Crawford (2000-19): 14.6 PPG, 2.2 RPG, 3.4 APG, 41.0 FG% – Chicago Bulls, New York Knicks, Golden State Warriors, Atlanta Hawks, Los Angeles Clippers, Minnesota Timberwolves, Phoenix Suns

Achievements: Three-time Sixth Man of the Year

What more could Jamal Crawford have done to be an All-Star? The man had 50-point games for four different franchises. He was the first player to win the NBA’s Sixth Man of the Year award three times. Beyond that, he was just one of the most fun players to watch for every team he played for while making the bad teams he played for somewhat watchable.

Shooting guard: Michael Redd (2000-12): 19.0 PPG, 3.8 RPG, 2.1 APG, 44.7 FG% – Milwaukee Bucks, Phoenix Suns

Achievements: One-time All-Star, one-time All-NBA

Michael Redd was absolutely lethal from deep. Culminated by a career-high 57 points in 2007, Redd could not be stopped from any area of the court for a sizable six-year window from 2003-09. There was never enough support around him to make his Milwaukee Bucks teams any good, but he was a singular star that was often taken for granted.
