33. Mike Conley Jr.

33. Mike Conley Jr.

In the broader scope, Mike Conley is one of the most underrated basketball players in the world, but on the inside, Conley has been a coveted player due to his selfless and team-first attitude. During his 15th season, Conley was traded from the Utah Jazz to Minnesota and finished the year continuing to average over 10 Points per Game, earning his fourth Sportsmanship Award.

Last season, Conley continued his steak of consistency (11.4 PPG), helped Minnesota reach the Western Conference Finals, and won his second Teammate of the Year Award.

In his late 30s, Conley begins his 2023-24 campaign with his best shot of acquiring an NFL Championship.
