Probably my favorite under the radar player, for years, not just this season, has been Sweet Lou Williams. Williams is an offensive onslaught. The man has a silky smooth jump shot and the speed of a beautiful jungle cat. His handles and quickness allow him to carve through defenses for easy points, despite only averaging 25.4 minutes per game. In this short amount of playing time, he has averaged 13.9 points, 1.8 rebounds, and 3.3 assists per game, all on 43% shooting, which is staggering for a pure scorer.
Plus, he has laid down some hammers, including this one on Tyler Hansbrough, which defies his diminutive size. Williams has earned a name as being one of the purest scorers in the NBA but to me has been underutilized and has come off the bench for his entire career.
