I'm not a Grizz fan, but Mike Conley has to be up there.

As a Grizz fan I'm biased, but it still kills me when people mention Wall, Lillard, and Irving as being on a higher tier than Conley. Of course he has a couple years on those guys but he's done much more in the playoffs against better opponents and is easily as good as if not better than all 3. On r/nba people always said he was so underrated that he's overrated now, but I still felt he was being unfairly placed beneath those guys.

That Olajuwon guy looked pretty good in that exhibition last week, some team in need of a quality scoring big should sign him. Could be his big break.

Psh, he'd be nothing without Dikembe opening up looks for him.

Lol there's been a ton of people saying he's the GOAT, how can he be underrated in any circumstance?
So, since getting into the NBA is undoubtedly effing hard, being in the top tier is even more insane - performance wise. Bringing a sht/hurt team to the finals all alone, mind blowing. The performance and value curve exponential. f(x)=2^x for example.
One of the given people: Vucevic. I'd say from 1-10 a 6. According to our curve 64. Others say he is a 7, meaning 128. The difference of perception being 64.
Conley. Some say 7 (128), some say actually a 8 (256). Difference 128. Further underrated than Vucevic. The more elite a player gets, the more talent and performance is involved... the larger the differences.
Let's say Iguodala was percieved to be a 9.5 (720) and LeBron for some reason thought to be 9.3 (630). But we all say: actually he was 9.8 (891). The difference of perception is 261. More than double underrated than Conley by being marginally perceived differently in the very top tier... where he belongs.

From a purely attention aspect, I would say Anthony Davis. He is probably the 3rd best (maybe 2nd best) player in the league, yet casual fans might not even know who he is.

I think a lot of people under value Jonas Valincioues(I can't spell) expecially since the raptors undervalue him.

Nikola Vucevic must be considered.
