"I come for my due and proper."

Scottie Pippen, Beanie Siegel, the collective works of Kevin Smith, Flight of the Conchords -- all are vastly underrated, underappreciated and unsung. And all deserve their "due and proper." The college hoops landscape is no different, and to quote Bret and Jemaine, it's like we get caught up staring at "the most beautiful girl in the room ... the whole wide room" and someone gets overlooked. It's with that the Tenth Power looks at the game's answer to the Conchords: 10 players who deserve some love.

1. Manny Harris, F, Michigan. While the football Wolverines have gone the route of Oceanic Flight 812, John Beilein's crew is sizzling. DeShawn Sims has also been a major force in the Wolverines' revival, but it's "Manny being Manny" that's been the real catalyst. Harris, who should really go by his far superior given name of Corperryale, is second in the Big Ten in scoring (18.7 points per game), third in rebounds (7.6) and sixth in assists (4.7).

2. Jeff Adrien, F, UConn. How can a guy land on this list after appearing on the cover of Sports Illustrated? Well, he does play alongside Jerome Dyson, Hashseem Thabeet and A.J. Price, meaning even Superman can get branded underappreciated. At 6-foot-7, Adrien and his 14.6 points and 9.2 boards a game, form an imposing inside tandem with Thabeet.

3. Jack McClinton, G, Miami (Fla.). If he didn't play in the same league as Tyler Hansbrough, Ty Lawson and Tyrese Rice, Jack Mac would be a star. But instead, he gets less love than a pre-marriage Andy Stitzer. There may not be another player in the college ranks who is more dangerous pulling up off the dribble than the senior, who is averaging 17 ppg, or one with a more lethal pimp hand.

4. Damion James, G/F, Texas. He (not Blake Griffin) was the only Big 12 player other than Michael Beasley to average a double-double last season. And unlike his counterpart, James is back for an encore. So far he's off his 2007-08 pace for points (14.7 pg), rebounds (8.3) and buttocks-rattling smacks, but he is shooting better than 50 percent from the field.

5. Daniel Hackett, G, USC. The 6-foot-5 junior was the first player to tear through high school in three years to come to college a year early.  He's averaging career highs in points (10.6), assists (5.8) and rebounds (4.3), but he is having his struggles in a move to full-time point guard, turning the ball over 3.9 times per game. He was also a part of a "bad episode" with O.J. Mayo that makes Cavemen seem Emmy-worthy.

6. Lee Cummard, G, BYU. The senior is back in Provo after initially declaring for the NBA draft last year following his Mountain West Conference "Player of the Year" honors. Cummard, whose 6-foot-7 frame carries just 185 pounds, was so skinny in high school he was nicknamed "Leethiopia". But his slight build hasn't stopped him from tearing up MWC opponents, ranking second in scoring (18.1 ppg), eighth in rebounding (6.1) and second in field goal percentage (57.5). He also gets serious props for his love of San Diego's favorite fictional anchor.

7. Greivis Vasquez, G, Maryland. This Terrapins's game speaks for itself: an average 17.8 points, 6.1 rebounds and 4.9 assists. But Vasquez isn't one to let it do all the talking. After getting repeatedly booed by the Maryland student section, Vasquez more than once told the fans to "Shut the [expletive] up." Maybe the man whose teammates call Mr. GQ can make amends with fans by offering fashion advice.

8. David Holston, G, Chicago State. Despite ranking third nationally in points per game (26.4) and canning more treys than anyone (90), arguably the best mid-major player not named Stephen Curry remains more unsung than Johnny Depp's Blow. Of course, the 5-foot-8 guard with the Allen Iverson-like game is used to it: the Pontiac, Mich., native didn't receive any scholarship offers and walked on at Chicago State.

9. Wink Adams, G, UNLV. Despite his strong play in the last two NCAA tourneys, Adams somehow continues to not get any love outside of the Mountain West. Could The Mtn.'s lack of availability be to blame? The point guard's real name is Jo'Van but goes by the nickname he received because he looks like he's winking in a baby picture.

10. Jeff Pendergraph, F, Arizona State. While Pendergraph isn't having the breakout season that many believed he would, (maybe because of the "super funk" he talked about in November, but he continues to put up strong numbers in James Harden's shadow with 13.5 ppg and 7.1 rpg. He also has a chance to become the first Sun Devil to ever lead the team in rebounding four straight years (if he beats out Harden), but considering must guys don't stay for years, take it for what it's worth.
