Lakers: Kentavious Caldwell-Pope, the contributor no one talks about

Many are the role players that stepped up for the Los Angeles Lakers in the postseason and this is part of the reason for their success. Especially the bench made a huge leap from the regular season and became one of the best ones in the playoffs. Most notably, Rajon Rondo was a major shift in affecting games for LA, probably their most improved player.

But of all those who raised their impact in the most important moment of the year, no one ever talks about Kentavious Caldwell-Pope. He is been generally underappreciated by fans and analysts, becoming some kind of unsung hero of this playoff run.
