Josh Smith
Josh Smith #5 of the Atlanta Hawks goes in for a dunk
Trending
Quite frankly, were you expecting anyone else? Josh Smith has been the perennial underrated player. The 2005 Slam dunk champion currently plays for Detroit after spending six seasons at Atlanta.
After Joe Johnson got traded last season, the onus fell on Al Horford and Josh Smith to lead the Hawks to a playoff berth. Smith rose admirably to the occasion, when he became the team’s top scorer last season. He averaged 17.5 PPG, 8.5 RPG, 4.2 APG, 1.2 SPG and 1.8 BPG while shooting .465 from the field and .310 from beyond the arc. He was also a menacing presence on the field due to his defensive abilities, mainly his shot blocking. Smith’s athleticism and agility make him one of the most potent power forwards in the game today.

Smith joins Brandon Jennings and Chauncey Billups, two excellent point guards at Pistons. I have a feeling that we have not seen the best of Josh Smith just as yet.
