We see after every season how people turn on players in the recent years after giving them so much praise and how they uplift one player after one season

From to low to high:

Jordan Poole - with the green light and zero expectations, he's poised to get a break out year
KD - if he can bring a chip to Phoenix, it'll quiet a lot of his haters

From high to low:

Austin Reaves - now that he's legitimately the 3rd option for the Lakers, opposing teams will be scouting for him. I can see his production taking a dip because of this, and we all know how vicious LA fans are.
Dame and Giannis - if the Bucks choke again this year, a lot of hate is going to come to both of them.
Luka - if he misses the playoffs again, I can see the fans & media treating him like they do Harden

Finally, I can see Zion going both ways. Currently, Zion is a punchline due to his on and off court issues. If he can actually stay healthy during the regular season and start getting some accolades, his stock will rise. That being said, if the Pelicans make the post season, it'll be his first playoff run. NBA history tells us that first time playoff players don't perform well due to the pressure, increased physicality, opposing scouting taking away your go-to's etc. I'd expect his stats to decrease in the post season and with that, public perception will turn to the negative
