Basically which players do you think have a skill or aspect in their game that can be kind of overrated by some people?

Ex: Myles Turner's 3 pointer, Modern LeBron's Durability, Marcus Smart's Defense, etc.

Want to hear more insights

Anyone with a super athletic and fast game. Kyrie is the outlier, not something the average guy can do. When guys like fox and Morant slow down just a tad their game is going to suffer quite a bit. That's not to say they can't develop and be even better, but anything based off pure athleticism is just a quickly ticking clock for 90% of players.

Saying that Fox and Morant’s success is based off pure athleticism is overrated. Yes they are fast and athletic, and that’s certainly part of their success. But they are both very skilled players and make a lot of plays that’s aren’t just “pure athleticism”
