The '23-24 season is coming to an end, and if you were to discuss the "lowest overrated players" in the season summary, what players from the major teams would be the first to think of and say that they don't live up to the name? I think like Powell of the Clippers, many players will gradually come to our minds. Looking back at the season for these players, it was supposed to be a good performance or an improvement, but it was a disappointing result.
Rocket Thompson
Amen Thompson, as the No. 4 pick in the NBA draft, was supposed to play well, but this season he was once sent to the Development League, and on the court, shooting 14.3 and averaging only 1.0 shots per game, this can undoubtedly be described as disappointing or seriously overrated after the draft!
Nets Simmons
Ben Simmons still has an All-Star-caliber defense, which is why he can still get more than $40 million a season. But the reason why people feel that it is overvalued is also related to this salary, obviously, the annual salary is so high as if it is the core of the team, belonging to the All-Star level, but Simmons' shooting tells you that it can always make people look forward to it but has been looking forward to it! In addition, the Mavericks' words, Hardaway Jr. also made many fans complain, he is also overrated, and he can only prove himself in the next playoffs this season.
Wizard Poole
Poole left the Warriors or was overrated in the last season of the Warriors, when he didn't play a game in Washington, many American media experts thought that he would be able to usher in an explosion and even be expected to become the scoring champion of the season, but it was still an overrated existence, once at the bottom of the league in efficiency value, which undoubtedly made Warriors fans sigh "It's dangerous"!
Who the Lakers are
Reeves did not surprise our fans, after all, compared to last season, Reeves' performance this season has indeed shown a decline. And when signing in the offseason, both the media and fans were looking forward to it, thinking that it should be able to play an All-Star performance and is expected to become the team's third giant, but now the Lakers' third big man is Russell, which is surprising!
