NBA underground rank 45-41

45) Jrue Holiday. Point Guard, Philadelphia 76ers. 
Holiday is coming off a good postseason and looks to keep improving entering his fourth season. He is an above average shooter and defender at his position. Holiday should see an increase in his assists this year, playing with newly acquired center Andrew Bynum.






44) Manu Ginobli. Shooting Guard, San Antonio Spurs. 
As part of the Spurs big three, Ginobli can still get it done. Whether it's starting or coming off the bench, he is able to help the Spurs contend year after year.With three NBA titles to his name already, he hopes to help San Antonio reach another Finals this year. Ginobli's versatility and clutch play make him one of the greatest international players the NBA has ever seen.





43) Kevin Garnett. Power Forward, Boston Celtics. 
Entering his 17th NBA season, few active players have had better careers than Garnett. While the offensive numbers may have declined with age, Garnett can consistently hit the mid-range jumper and will always make the right basketball play. He is the reason Boston has been so good defensively the last five years. If he can stay healthy, the Celtics can make a serious playoff run in the East this year.





42) Demarcus Cousins. Center, Sacramento Kings. 
The volatile Cousins has all the skills necessary to become a great NBA center. One of the game's best rebounders, Cousins is now paired with Thomas Robinson as one of the best young frontcourt duos. If the Kings can move up a few spots in the West, he could see his first All-Star selection this season.






41) Ryan Anderson. Power Forward, New Orleans Hornets. 
In the midst of last season's Dwight Howard drama, Anderson quietly had a very good year in Orlando. Along with being one the the league's best 3 point shooters, he is an underrated rebounder. He was named the NBA's Most Improved Player last season after leading the league in 3's. Anderson is now part of a very promising young team in New Orleans.
