James Harden is the NBA's 3rd most underpaid player. Although he has a big contract, he's even more valuable than that for the Rockets by thebrettknight
for a portion of their contracts. When the cap figure and the base salary differ, the cap figure is the better baseline for our analysis.A total of 530 players appeared in at least one NBA game this season, but there's no reason to run this analysis on all of them. For one thing, players who were limited because of injuries will appear to have generated very little value for their teams.
We further removed the 81 players whose contracts were governed by the rookie salary scale, which artificially depresses their value. If we included these rookie-deal players, they would likely be overrepresented on any underpaid list. For instance, the Dallas Mavericks' Luka Doncic, the consensus pick for rookie of the year, has an expected salary of $22,538,553 but a cap figure of only $6,560,640, suggesting he is underpaid by $15,977,913.
Remember, too, that it's not just this year's rookies who are on rookie deals; the Minnesota Timberwolves' Karl-Anthony Towns, in the fourth year of his first contract, appears underpaid by a whopping $31,459,822. And it's not just the star players who look drastically underpaid, either; young players with more modest statistics should still be making more than the system allows them to. Take the Brooklyn Nets' Jarrett Allen, underpaid by $22,736,560.
So we removed the rookie deals. That left us with 257 players to analyze. These are the 10 who appeared to be the most underpaid.Yong Teck Lim/Getty Images
