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.
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.
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
Giddey Reaves perhaps Mikal Bridges if he doesn’t realize he doesnt have to be backup guy
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
