Most underrated NBA players of the 2022-23 season
2. Austin Reaves, F, Los Angeles Lakers
Reaves is the least surprising name on the list. In his second year with the Los Angeles Lakers, he became a fan favorite and a popular storyline within the NBA. Reaves’ contributions to the Lakers during the regular season as well as the team’s run to the Western Conference finals were impressive. It sets him up for a sizable pay increase as he enters free agency but for this past season, Los Angeles only paid $289,540 per win share based on his win share of 5.4 and cap hit of $1,563,518. Reaves was just $7 short of being No. 1 on the list.
