Here are the most grossly over-valued, not-so superstars.

Chris Andersen

Yes, he can run, jump and dash to the ball from the weak side to dramatically block shots. And his masquerading as a tall, tattooed fowl is amusing if juvenile. But he can't shoot a lick and, most importantly, is incapable of adequately defending virtually any opponent on a man-to-man basis. What Andersen does is surely crowd-pleasing and can occasionally impact the outcome of a game, but it's mostly phony defense.

The Indiana Pacers have landed their first free agent acquisition of the offseason.

The Pacers agreed to a four-year, $11-million deal with Denver Nuggets free agent guard Dahntay Jones late Wednesday night. The fourth year is a player option.

Chris Andersen and the Nuggets have agreed on a five-year contract that could earn Andersen up to $26 million, the player's manager, Mark Bryant, said Tuesday night. This locks in one of Denver's most popular athletes for the next half-decade.
