Basically which players do you think have a skill or aspect in their game that can be kind of overrated by some people?
Ex: Myles Turner’s 3 pointer, Modern LeBron’s Durability, Marcus Smart’s Defense, etc.
Want to hear more insights
Nothing in this thread is particularly surprising, so I am just going to drop a comment and come back later.
The competitiveness of half the guys in the league. Including the All-Stars and All-NBA players. They might have the talent and put in the hard work but quite a few of those guys are only doing it for the paycheck. They don’t give a shit about wins and losses.
KD’s “guard skills”. People call him a 7 ft guard a lot but it’s not really true….he’s a good ball handler for a 7 fter but it’s not really comparable to actual guards. Same with the playmaking, he can of course pass well but he gets flustered by double teams and turns it over a lot if he’s the primary playmaker, despite the height advantage.
Jokic’s passing gets overlooked too much
Jrue’s offense, i don’t think there’s been enough emphasis on how Atrocious his shooting numbers were in the playoffs. 39% from the field is real bad.
Based on comments I’ve seen lately on this sub KD’s defense.
Dude had 2 months where he played all D worthy defense (which the warriors hyped up to be DPOY worthy). And then people act like his defense is a game changer.
Very true. Dude is a good weakside secondary shot blocker 20% of the time and fairly disengaged low activity 80% of the time and people act like he’s lowkey a great rim protector or something.
Only reason the Warriors ever got away with lineups where KD was the tallest guy is because Draymond actually is a great rim protector and a motherfucker on the boards.
Jaxson Hayes’ shot blocking ability. Absolutely.
