Who is a player you just don't get the hate for? (alien.top)

As a companion to the "who is a player you don't get the hype for" thread, here is something more positive. Who is a player you feel is either disrespected, misunderstood, underrated, or straight-up maligned to an unfair degree?

My pick is THJ. Every single time I watch this dude play (usually against the Lakers) he looks like Prime TMac. He just gets to his spots, elevates, and knocks everything down with such a pure stroke. He seems unstoppable at times. And yet, I know Mavs fans constantly are disappointed with his inconsistent play, so maybe I am missing something with my few-and-far-in-between impressions.

Who else you got?

Jalen Green. Young guards take time to develop efficiency, and at 6’4” he shouldn’t be expected to be a beast on defense, especially so early in his career. People will apply this logic to every guard except Green.

And before people mention the video, being in a rugby locker room for all of high school, that’s mild. And don’t act like none of you haven’t done any sus shit.

6’ 4” is plenty tall to be solid defensively
