My pick is Anthony Edwards. He's great, but people talking about MVP potential need to slow it down.

I think Bradley Beal is overrated. I have a feeling he's just been an empty stat gathering machine and I suspect he knew this and is why he volunteered to stay in Washington so long and collect paychecks. I suppose we'll find out tonight is Bradley Beal a legit Allstar PG in the NBA?? It will be fun to see.

My second Choice is Ja Morant. He's a very exiting high flying dunk machine but I swear the Grizzlies last season were better without him than when he played.

You know that guy you like, yeah him

[–] Devoidoxatom@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Wasnt as high on him after fiba. Was pretty clear guys like SGA or Luka were much better

[–] No-Stick3348@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Dwight Howard

[–] wintertime0411@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

still ant probably

[–] Sunnyinphx01@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Luka. Don't get me wrong he is a Top 10-15. But this sub turns a blind eye to his defense and constant whining to the refs.

It’s always Steph - just look at the negs that will rain on me

People say he beat Lebron (like it was 1-on-1) when Bron always outplayed Steph (and basically anyone else)

I’ve seen him compared to MJ

I feel like 80% of Reddit can’t fathom the idea that prime KD might be on the same level

And I’ve been reading over and over that the first tier is Jokic/Giannis/Steph.

Steph wasn’t top 3 in the regular season. Steph wasn’t top 3 in the playoffs. But somehow an older Steph is clearly better than Luka, Embiid and everybody else

Is it only this sub’s opinion of Anthony Edwards? I feel like the media are hyping him up as well. I wish for him to live up to the expectations and be a great star in the league. But I also think that we haven’t really seen that full potential yet.

Do you Celtics fans really not think Luka is a All NBA First Team caliber player or are y'all just annoyed that most non Boston fans think he's better than Tatum?

[–] GastricAcid@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago (5 children)

Tatum is honestly insanely better

De'Aaron Fox and Jalen Brunson.

Derick Rose from an all-time perspective. I think most of the people praising him just saw the highlights.

[–] CoachMorelandSmith@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

I praise Rose because I actually saw him play before the injury.

Maybe he wasn’t the very best player the year he won the MVP, but he was definitely up there, along with being an exciting player to watch. What wasn’t praise worthy about pre injury DRose?

Nobody is calling him the GOAT or anything like that. It’s more along the lines of “Man, young DRose was so much fun to watch and such a great young player. Who knows what he could have achieved without the injury”

All of them. Every player in the league.

Ant Man will be in the same conversations as Kobe and Lebron by the time it's all over.

De’Aaron Fox is very overrated. Good player, overrated as hell

[–] Its_Hoggish_Greedly@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Mind explaining further? Who is overrating Fox right now and how so?

[–] Leebillysteve12345@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Lebron, he should retire

Bradley beal and chris paul. I think bradley beal is a great player when the team revolves around him. His a volume shooter I am not quite sure how he will fit in with this suns team as a role player. I am not entirely sure if he can adapt to more of playmaker.

Luka

Yup, talented AF, but doesn’t play winning basketball and doesn’t even bother on defense

[–] MVPudding@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

doesn’t play winning basketball

Such a sorry take

Steph Curry.

[–] Imkitoto@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

If someone says Austin Reaves, they’re wrong

Shai is so overrated for non basketball reasons

[–] maxrod889@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Tyrese Haliburton

[–] renosaer@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Anthony Edwards is a solid pick. Jaylen Brown is one of the 1st names that comes to my mind. Normally I would say Jamal Murray, but it's hard to say that now after he was a complete stud in the playoffs. Kenyon Martin recently said Kyrie Irving was better than Luka Doncic, so I have to put KI up there. Bruce Brown went from beind underrated to overrated somehow; I can't believe that new contract he signed.

[–] HS941317@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Lebron. People still think he’s top 5 lol..

Tom from MySpace

[–] brucewayne1935@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Shai or JJ. Trae or Siakam is most underrated.

[–] Ok-Clock-5459@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Jrue Holiday
