The 26 year old is having a monster season that few people are aware of. Part of the reason is that\u00a0Aldridge\u00a0has been so consistent throughout his first five NBA seasons, he\u2019s taken for granted. Like\u00a0Hibbert\u00a0he is averaging career highs in every significant category-\u00a0ppg\u00a0(23.1),\u00a0rpg\u00a0(8.8),\u00a0spg\u00a0(1.0\u00a0spg). And even though he\u2019s taking more shots (18.1\u00a0spg) he\u2019s shooting a career best .515% from the field.<\/p>\n<h2><b>Marc\u00a0Gasol<\/b><\/h2>\n<p>I recently covered the season\u00a0Gasol\u00a0has been having here. He\u2019s kept the team\u2019s low post game afloat while it waits for the return of \u201cZ-Bo\u201d, Zach Randolph. \u00a0His production across the board is arguably what aids in the lack of credit, because he is easy to take for granted. But his numbers (15.1, 10.5, 2.8, 2.3, .516%\u00a0FG\u00a0and .737% FT) don\u2019t lie.<\/p>\n<h2><b>Luol\u00a0Deng<\/b><\/h2>\n<p>Deng\u00a0is an interesting player because you really can\u2019t measure his impact by statistical production. If you did, you\u2019d see he was solid in all areas, but not overwhelming or necessarily impressive. He keys the Bulls ability with his high-pressure defense, usually guarding the other team\u2019s best offensive player. The Bulls were 4-3 in seven games without him recently which sums up how important he is.<\/p>\n<h2><b>Jrue\u00a0Holiday<\/b><\/h2>\n<p>The\u00a076ers\u00a017-7 start, and four game lead in the Atlantic Division, is still the biggest surprise amongst surprise teams. Holiday leads the squad in minutes and serves as the steadying hand, setting the pace and maintaining the tempo throughout the game. You could probably pick a couple guys off the\u00a0Sixers\u00a0and argue that they are the most underrated player in the league.<\/p>\n<h2><b>Kyle Lowry<\/b><\/h2>\n<p>Lowry has thrived in Houston since becoming a starter last season after three years in Memphis as a reserve, primarily. He\u2019s averaging career highs in ppg (14.8), spg (2.0), rpg (6.2) FT% .863% and apg (8.2) which is eighth highest in the NBA.<\/p>\n<h2><b>Jeremy Lin<\/b><\/h2>\n<p>Sure, his inclusion in this list is based off of his\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=1Ed5KFr2YsI\" data-cke-saved-href=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=1Ed5KFr2YsI\">25 point, 7 assist, 5 rebound, 2 steal performance last night in a victory over the Nets<\/a>, but what if he can key a badly needed Knicks turn around?

I\u2019ve married six couples in 10 years and my Marriage to Still Married ratio is 6:6. I always say, it isn\u2019t so much about the \u201clove,\u201d as it is the tasteless jokes that became vows. \u00a0 I started the I-80 Sports Blog to have all the work I've published located in one place and to write about things I want to write about. I don't take anything too seriously and it is a real time saver.","url":"https:\/\/i80sportsblog.com\/author\/paul\/"}]}},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/i80sportsblog.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1428","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/i80sportsblog.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/i80sportsblog.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/i80sportsblog.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/i80sportsblog.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1428"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/i80sportsblog.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1428\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/i80sportsblog.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/17880"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/i80sportsblog.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1428"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/i80sportsblog.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1428"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/i80sportsblog.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1428"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
