I agree. But is he really underrated if everyone on the board is calling him underrated?

Mavs fans as a whole seem to appreciate him, but he's rarely mentioned by the national media when they talk Mavs. It's always about Dirk and Kidd as the leaders, Terry as the 6th man, or the new guys. Case in point, Brent Barry on NBATV said before the game that the matchup he was most interested in was Melo vs. Butler.

Well as we knew beforehand, Butler wasn't the one that guarded Melo and forced him into a quiet game (again). It was Marion. I would say he's probably the third most important guy on the team behind Dirk and Kidd. He's going be the main man guarding Kobe and Melo and the like in the playoffs, and he's already shut down each of them twice this year.
