Feels like the answer is never someone who already has one so it’s between guys like Tatum/Luka/Embiid/Booker/SGA
Out of that group I’d probably go with Tatum because of how stacked the Celtics are overall and how many near misses they’ve had(could also see Embiid but I don’t think anyone truly sees the Sixers roster as championship caliber or actually expects them to win this year)
Dont get me wrong, his numbers are amazing. So does Donovon Mitchells or Trae Youngs for example. No one names him with Lebron,Luka,Embiid,Giannis,Jokic category. But when NBA makes a poster, they put him. This is just an example. People talk about him like he had a multiple deep playoff runs, he was racing for MVP, etc. Thats exactly how you make a player hated.
I understand your point. But right now it’s early in the season and everything is a hyperbole. With his shooting numbers/splits, the team is on a 6 game win streak sitting top in the west so i can see why OP included him. (For the record I agree and don’t think his name needed to be mentioned here)
