Most clutch players this season? (Non superstars)
Which non-superstar players have made the most clutch plays this season? Everyone knows the clutchness of guys like Robert Horry, Derek Fisher, etc. (none of whom are star players). Who have been those guys this season?
And I'll add one more question: Who has done it with enough consistency that they have/will be warranted to be mentioned in the same sentence as Horry/Fisher.
Well as a Kings fan, I've seen Garcia has hit at least 3 game winning baskets this year, although now he likely won't even be in the game at the end (with the crucial shot going to Martin or Bibby ..or Artest )
Another player that has been given the ball and come through on game deciding possessions is Hedo Turkoglu. He's having a standout year and it has been highlighted with his clutch baskets.
I've also watched a couple Hawks games where the final basket goes to Joe Johnson. He only came through on 1 of the 3 I watched.
As for the second question, I can't really think of anyone that has been really clutch that is a non-star off the top of my head. I was hoping someone else could help.

Thats funny. Its all opinion as far as who it is, and I would say Outlaw and Hedo have both been the top 2 but to say that its Hedo and nobody else is close is ridiculously wrong

As of late Vujacic has actually stepped up plenty in the 4th quarter for us too (since you asked for non-stars).
I have been really impressed with Vujacic. He looked like a scrub last year and all of a sudden he's turned into a deadly threat from deep. It seems like in every game Lakers game I've watched, he's hit a big 3 in important situations. On that team he's obviously not going to be a primary option at the end of games, but he definitely hits daggers with consistency.
