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

J**** ******

Bam Adebayo - how this dude at 25 years old has more All-Defense selections(4) than Smart (3), JJJ(2), Brook(2), Marc Gasol(1), Myles Turner(0), Sheed(0), Bynum(0), Jermaine O’Neal(0), and many more is beyond me… there’s only a handful of guys currently in the league that have 4+ selections (PG, Kawhi, CP3, Giannis, Gobert, Draymond, AD, and Jrue) like he has the same number of selections as AD, Jrue, and PG… he’s very good but i just find him overrated and that’s my subjective opinion

this one will sting to admit but Pacers fans very much overrate Andrew Nembhard right now - he’s got amazing potential and has stepped up for big moments but he’s only played one year for a bottom-10 Pacers team. fans really told me they wouldn’t trade him for Jrue when he was available from Portland and like sure timing wise i get it but Nembhard is our backup PG and competing against TJ McConnell who can just as well fill that role…if we can get a difference maker player who can start and fill a need for the Pacers I would definitely consider trading Nembhard to make that happen

Brunson - i’m here to ignite the rivalry between Indy and NYK again and Brunson got John Starks written all over him to me. Hope Haliburton can be our Reggie.

Jordan Poole is getting drafted in the 2nd round in multiple of the 10T and 12T leagues I play in. It’s absolute insanity

Having browsed this sub for several years now, and seeing the direction it's taken, I think you would be hard pressed to find a player who is overrated since so many people like to shit on EVERYBODY.

LeBron is amazing, but gets shit on.

Harden is declining and is properly shit on.

Westbrook gets shit on.

Leonard. Shit on.

PG. Shit on.

AD. Shit on.

In fact, I'm surprised that there are any fans on this subreddit since everybody seems to hate everybody in this league.

The only guy who doesn't really get shit on is Joker, but he's the reigning MVP and defending champ, so he's not being overrated.

So with that said, despite the hate he gets, I'd have to say that Kyrie is most likely the most overrated player because there still seems to be a disgusting number of people who think that, his personal issues aside, he actually makes a positive contribution on the floor when he's only putting up numbers that make him look good.

Second would be his teammate: Luka.

I think Donovan Mitchell and AD are a bit overrated. Although not the most overrated on the sub

[–] LeadingLeek1717@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Bam Adebayo.

Ant. He’s great but check this sub and you would think he’s D-Wade

[–] dinorawr1337@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Shai and I’m done being quiet

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

It's Jimmy Butler, and it isn't even remotely close.

Sidebar:

How the fuck is Rudy Gay still in the league?

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

think he just got cut today, right?

[–] Wenia6killerCZ@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Austin Reeves

[–] Sharp_Aide3216@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Wow. A Boston fan hating on Ant Edwards more than Reeves.

[–] AnonymousJoe35@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Evan Mobley

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

Jamal Murray. He’s not top 20. I’m sorry.

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

The obvious and clear answer is Austin Reaves.

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

ant slander is wild! love it

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

Josh Giddey. There was a post recently where people were eating him up & he’s a solid young talent. But the dude is so inefficient and a turnstile on defense.

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

Kevin Durant. People talk about him being top 15 all time, but if he never joined the warriors he’d be talked about the same way Harden is. He’s the only player who has never led a team to a championship that people put into the top 15 discussion and it’s absolutely bizarre

[–] basher505@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Austin Reaves.

[–] EndTimesPreacher24@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

You take your sloppy and dirty mind and get Anthony Edwards out of it.

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

Austin Reaves?

Reckon if we read the sub's comments about him he'll be projected to be an all star.

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

Ben Simmons. Wherever he is rated, I promise you he is lower.

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

SGA for sure

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

You'd think Steven Adams was a perennial allstar here.

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

All I know is that Memphis wins without Ja, but they don’t without Adams. He’s not an all star, but he does make teams better.

[–] draymond-@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Donovan Mitchell and Darius Garland.

Talented guys but not even sniffing the real stars. Regular season merchants who become one way players in the playoffs

[–] draymond-@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Josh Giddy. Tall playmaker but can't shoot and can't defend at a high level.

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

LMAO who's a young basketball player expected to make an unrealistic leap despite that rarely being the case once you hit a certain level of development.

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

That changes daily based on most recent performances

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

Austin Reaves
