What current NBA player has the closet legacy to Antwan Jamison? (alien.top)

Jamison has somewhat of a forgotten legacy. He was a baller for around a decade and was an all star a couple of times. Yet as time has gone on, most cardinals don’t mention him. It appears like he has somewhat of a forgotten legacy?

What player is good and at times great but overlooked?

Biggest reason for this is no real accolades in the NBA other than all-star apperance

Zach Lavine rings a bell as a guy who has balled out some nights but no real playoff moments

LeMarcus Aldridge is one.

LMA had way more All-Star and All-NBA appearances, but a lot of that was because he had real teammates.

They played 1083 and 1076 games.

They scored 20,042 points and 20,558 points.

They had 8,157 and 8,736 rebounds.

They were both volume scorers who were both below league average in TS%.

Aldridge was a better defender, but these two are a good example of similar guys being put into different situations. LMA played with Roy, Lillard, and Leonard. Jamison played with a dude who wanted to shoot his teammates.

Aldridge was just way way way better overall

Isn't Aldridge borderline HOF? I think that puts him out of the conversation.
