My Take
Eric Bledsoe is a player I always thought of as underrated defensively. Coming out of Kentucky and drafted 18th in 2010, he carved out a long NBA career as a tough, athletic point guard who could really pressure the ball. What I remember most is his explosiveness attacking the rim despite not being especially tall for the position. He bounced around several teams before finishing up with the Shanghai Sharks in China, which to me shows a competitor who kept chasing the game wherever it took him. He never became a household superstar, but I respect the grit and two-way energy he brought every night.
