AD. Before I get crucified, I’m a huge UK fan and will always love AD for his NCAA championship. He has all the tools to be top 3 in the league but doesn’t have the fire. If he hasn’t taken the next step by now, he’s not going to
Morant. He is good but an overrated archetype. A PG who can’t shoot is just not that valuable to me.
Josh Giddey by a mile.
A guy whose weaknesses shooting and defensively make him profile as more of an 82 game player instead of a 16 game player except that he’s also one of the least efficient high-volume players in the regular season and his team consistently plays better when he’s not on the court.
I wish people saw in me what the Lakers see in Reeves
Luka
Marcus Smart. Playing hard doesn’t mean playing particularly well.
Why play harder when you can play Smarter.
Banchero (I’ve been impressed this season tbf) but he’s looking closer to Julius Randle than Lebron James.
For a while it was Ben Simmons but now that he’s pretty much irrelevant, I’m not sure who that is
Donovan Mitchell for me. I think he's a great talent but tries to be a hero way too much and sometimes it's like damn bro... give someone else a chance to play
Giannis. He's got the stats and hardware behind him but I don't enjoy watching him bulldoze over anyone in his path and waiting 10+ seconds every free throw attempt. Yawn.
Wemby. He just tall as fuck.
Zion, Lamelo Ball, Chet Holmgren, Anthony Edwards
Heat fans will say this and then hype up some autogenerated undrafted dude they signed named Nate Doofenshmirtz who puts up 3.1 ppg shooting 17%
scoot, small, cant shoot, not a big enough sample size to really prove me right or wrong yet but i dont think he has a high floor
Josh Giddey. Not only do I think he's a bad fit on the thunder, but also I'm not impressed by his shooting and defense for someone as highly regarded as he is
Wemby /s
Lavine and lemelo ball. Both can score...neither contribute to winning
I think Lamelo is fine but Lavine totally stinks. "Doesn't contribute to winning" is exactly how I describe him. His skills are good but he just doesn't help you win basketball games
James Harden
Maxey. He's playing good recently and he even dropped 50, but him being in MVP talks is silly. He's super fast and usualy plays solid, but I'm never worried about him when my team is playing the sixers.
He feels like one of those guys who will be good for 5 or so years and then fall off a cliff skill wise. I hope I’m wrong though, he seems like a good kid
The hype is mostly dead at this point, but Blazers fans convincing themselves that Simons would be a credible Dame replacement was comical.
Bam is playing really well this season, has DPOY locked up already and he’s slowly morphing into KG.
You and Lamar Odom have something in common and Stephen A Smith knows what it is
Darius Garland meh 😐
Austin Reaves
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.
Am I too old? Is 8-15, 10-18 no longer efficient?
My favorite part about this post is how you say he’s overhyped because he’s an elite defender who can playmake and score at a decent level which is exactly his hype level
Conley… Gobert… CP3… Booker… Reeves…
One of those is not like the others
Wemby. He won’t ever be an unstoppable offensive player so he will never be best in the league level.
Entire Clippers 4-star lineup
Anfernee Simons and Shaedon Sharpe
RJ Barrett
Who is he as a player? People talk about his shooting but it looks like his numbers have fallen off after his second season. Is he just an average 20 point scorer with a field goal percentage around known shooters Poku and Thubulle? Am I missing something that makes this guy a key part of an NBA team?
Sohan, i think he it's Draymond who can't pass. So he is a basketball player who can't dribble, can't drive, can't shoot and can't pass.
Lebron james
Lebron and Michael Porter Jr.
Klay for his entire career. He did his role very well, but he isn’t a complete player. Lacking in own shot creation and dribbling. I think his legacy would be very different without Curry and illegal screens.
Giannis
Hype has definitely cooled of during his Sixers time, but Tobias Harris was sort of hyped before and has been playing on a max contract for years now. I think it’s ridiculously overlooked how overpaid he is and how his salary has prevented the Sixers in actually putting together the last pieces.
