2019-20 NBA Season: 15.1 points, 13.5 rebounds, 1.5 assists .

Despite being a former defensive player of the year, Rudy Gobert has failed to get the recognition he deserves in the NBA.

Gobert may not be a good offensive player, but on the other side of the floor, he has always been an absolute menace for opposition teams. If not for the flashy and exuberant playing style of Donovan Mitchell, the Frenchman would likely have received more attention that he does now.

#7 Khris Middleton

2019-20 NBA Season: 20.9 points, 6.2 rebounds, 4.3 assists.

With the Milwaukee Bucks having yet another early exit from the NBA playoffs, Khris Middleton is one of the players who has been scrutinized the most by the NBA community.

However, what many forget is the fact that the 29-year-old has improved significantly this year. Middleton even put in an outstanding performance against the Miami Heat after Giannis Antetokounmpo went down.

As a player who is the second option in his team, Middleton deserves more credit than he receives at the moment.

#6 Thaddeus Young (Chicago Bulls)

2019-20 NBA Season: 10.3 points, 4.9 rebounds, 1.8 assists.

Thaddeus Young has been one of the few bright spots in another disappointing season for the Chicago Bulls.

Despite the likes of Zach Lavine and Coby White stealing the limelight, the 32-year-old has silently been one of the most consistent players for the historic NBA franchise. The Bulls are often bogged down by inconsistency, but the abilities of Young deserve to be appreciated a lot more than they are now.

#5 Bojan Bogdanovic (Utah Jazz)

At number five in our list of the top 10 underrated players in the 2019-20 NBA season, we have Bojan Bogdanovic.

The 31-year-old, who was magnificent for the Utah Jazz, was sorely missed by the team during the playoffs.

Despite being below par in the defensive end, Bogdanovic's skillset in the offensive end alone is enough for him to deserve a lot more respect than what he receives.
