Mike Conley Jr.

Mike Conley Jr. is one of those players who never quite got the recognition his game deserved, and honestly that still bothers me. Going fourth overall in 2007 out of Ohio State, he spent over a decade as the heart of the Memphis Grizzlies — a franchise that wasn't exactly a marquee market — playing with a toughness and IQ that made him one of the most underrated point guards of his generation. He won the NBA Sportsmanship Award in 2014, which tells you a lot about how he carries himself: consistently excellent, never the villain, always the professional. When he finally got to a contender with the Utah Jazz and later the Minnesota Timberwolves, it felt like the league was slowly catching up to what Grizzlies fans already knew. The guy has always been a flat-out winner.
