00:00Of course, we know about the likes of LeBron James, Kawhi Leonard, Giannis Antetokounmpo,
00:05and other superstars, but who are the most underrated players when it comes to the NBA
00:10bubble?
00:11For more on that, I'm joined by Michael Shapiro and Melissa Rowland of All Acres.
00:16Michael, let's start with you.
00:17Who do you think is the most underrated player at Disney?
00:21You know, I'm trying not to be a real homer here, but I think that Robert Covington stands
00:25as one of the true underrated players in the NBA.
00:27He has really transformed Houston's defense almost overnight, since arriving in February
00:32at the trade deadline, and he's been a true defensive menace alongside P.J. Tucker.
00:35He's a strong three-point shooter, he is third in the NBA in blocks since February 4th, and
00:40he has proved to be a true anchor of Houston's small-ball defense.
00:43He continues his kind of outstanding three-and-D play in Orlando.
00:47I think fans will learn his name very, very quickly.
00:49How about you, Melissa?
00:50Is there somebody on that Lakers roster, let's say not named LeBron James or Anthony Davis,
00:54who people should be keeping an eye on?
00:56Yeah.
00:58I think Kyle Kuzma is actually somebody that we should all look out for.
01:00Kyle Kuzma has had glimmers of excellence throughout this season, but his biggest issue
01:05has been consistency.
01:07We talked to him recently, and he said Jared Dudley has actually been working with him
01:11a lot behind the scenes, guiding him, trying to teach him how to further his game while
01:15also contributing to the team.
01:17Kyle Kuzma said that he wants a legacy, he wants to make a name for himself, and if he
01:21can put together some consistent minutes, I think he could really have a big impact
01:25for this team.
01:27Yeah, I think the Lakers getting a consistent third scorer would be pivotal to their hopes
01:33for the NBA championship.
01:34Melissa, Michael, appreciate your time.
