Who is a player you just don’t get the hype for (alien.top)

Someone who a lot of people consider to be a great player that you think is just good, or someone people think is good that you think is just ok or not very good.

For me, it’s Bam Adebayo. I think he’s an elite defender, but offensively, I don’t think he’s that great. He’s far to inefficient for someone at his position. He has so many 8-15 or 10-18 type games. He scored 26 points on 26 shots in the finals. He can playmake for sure, but his scoring has always been a question for me.

I just can't picture someone that looks like Kristaps Porzingis being a serious player who can hold up to a full season + intense playoff run. I'm not saying he isn't talented when he plays. But pretty much all the lanky/goofy bigs we've seen in this league (at leas in recent memory) have struggled to stay on the floor too much to have a notable impact in the postseason. If he can help the Celtics to a championship it would be totally unprecedented for both him and guys that look like him.
