Probably have to base this on the opinions of average fans. Most of us follow the team closely enough that we have pretty strong justification for our opinions.
For me, it’s:
Overrated: Perry Ellis. He was fine, but very limited and not really great at anything. Super soft rebounder. Always struggled with great athletes.
Underrated: Tyshawn Taylor. The turnovers were bad, but when he was under control he was unstoppable at attacking the basket. Underrated defender too. When he left Kansas, only Tyshawn, Kirk Hinrich, and Darnell Valentine had 1,400 points, 500 assists, and 150 steals in their KU careers.

Underrated: Aaron Miles. Can the school's all time assist leader be underrated? I feel like you don't hear his name very often when talking about great KU players. He was a tremendous pass first point guard, which I appreciate.
Overrated: Kelly Oubre. He had a ton of hype surrounding him and I never felt like he lived up to it. Admittedly I barely remember him or when he even played at KU.
