Recently, an organization organized an anonymous vote for NBA players to see who is the most overrated player in the active league, and a total of 81 valid votes were cast, and a total of ten overrated players with a turnout rate of more than 3.7% were selected. The result of the vote can only be said to be both unexpected and beyond many people's predictions, because there are still several fan-recognized superstars in the top 10. As for who they really are and what the turnout is, let's move on to it.
10th, Carl Anthony Downs, 3.7% turnout
Many people should not be surprised that Towns is on the list, after all, except for this year he followed Edwards to lead the Timberwolves to the top three positions in the West, since 2015 he was selected by the Timberwolves as the top pick, he has not played any famous, he has led the team to the playoffs for 8 years and 3 times, not to mention that the weak team does not understand the data and honors, and the career average of 22.9 points and 10.8 rebounds per game in this era of data explosion can not even enter the best team three times, and the only one who can get his hands is only four All-Stars. So this guy is on the list of the most overrated players, and he naturally deserves it.
9th place, Julius Randall, 3.7% turnout
The regular season is as fierce as a dragon, and the playoffs are as soft as a worm. This sentence is to describe Julius Randle, as the main player of the team who has played in the NBA for 10 years, switched from the Lakers to the Knicks, and entered the playoffs with Brunson in the first two years, and as soon as he arrived in the playoffs, the average of 20+10 per game in the regular season immediately fell to 17+8, so that the team suffered defeats one after another, and it is normal to be on the list.
No. 8, Tyrese Halliburton, 3.7% turnout
Since entering the league in 2020, he has been marketed by fans for his excellent passing skills, and even when he was traded to the Pacers, he was directly hailed as the new king of the Pacers, and his reputation is incomparable. However, as a rookie who has just entered the league for four years, Haliburton does not have any substantive honors, and his career average is only 17.2 points and 8.7 assists per game.
7th place, John Collins, 3.7% turnout
He was once hailed as the "Atlanta guillotine" by players for his extremely violent dunks, and then it went on fire. But it's the same as Halliburton. Collins himself does not have any substantial honors to support him to be so popular, except for the 20+10 data per game in the third year of the rookie, which is eye-catching, and the average of only 15.7 points and 8.1 rebounds per game in his 7-year NBA career, he has not even made an All-Star. So in the eyes of many active players, Collins is also a person whose fame is greater than his strength.
6th place, Bradley Beale, 3.7% turnout
As a well-known data brush, Bradley Beale is on this list and absolutely no one will question it. In 11 years with the underdog Wizards, he has only brushed out the All-NBA team once, and without his big brother John Wall, leading the team to the playoffs is a round trip. Now that he is coming to the Suns and Durant for the championship, Booker has formed a big three, and his exposure has increased while his data has declined rapidly, averaging only 18.2 points per game this season, and players will naturally feel that he is seriously overrated.
No. 5, James Harden, 4.9% turnout
After 15 years in the league, compared to 20+10+5 two years ago, he now averages only 16.6 points, 5 rebounds and 8.5 assists per game, James Harden's career has basically entered the twilight years, but many fans still think that he is a supergiant who can prove himself in the championship of the Clippers. For those active players, strength is the criterion that determines everything, since Harden has suffered a major injury, his average data per game has dropped to such a low, and he has not led the team to win a championship in his entire career, then he is not a superstar now, and then he occupies the pit like this and does not, naturally there will be a lot of opinions.
No. 4, Dillon Brooks, 4.9% turnout
As a well-known defensive giant, Dillon Brooks seems to rely entirely on off-court marketing and dirty moves, and he himself can defend Curry James every time he says, but he is constantly blown up by them, and he has only been selected to the second team once in his entire career, and there are no other honors. And it is such a clown player who can win a big contract with the Rockets last year, which really surprised many fans and players, so he will naturally appear on this list.
3rd place, Trae Young, 7.4% turnout
New York City Mayor Trae Young, who was famous for eliminating the New York Knicks a few years ago, may have appeared on this list as a surprise to many, but it is in many people's predictions, after all, he can lead the Hawks to the Eastern Conference finals in his rookie third year, but in addition to this, Trae Young has not had any substantial honors in his career, except for three All-Star times, he was only selected to the All-Star team once. Such a thin honor naturally cannot control such a huge name as the mayor of New York, and there is no problem with being felt by many players to be unworthy of the name.
2nd place, Jordan Pu'er, 8.6% turnout
Jordan Pu'er, this one is even more heavyweight. Since helping the Warriors win the championship as the main player in 22, some fans have begun to boast that he is more important to the Warriors than Curry, and even Kevin Garnett boasted in an interview that he would become the next James Harden when he left the Warriors, but when he actually left the Warriors and came to the Wizards, his average data per game in the season dropped directly to 17.4 points and 4.4 assists, which is a regression compared to the average of 20+ points per game in the Warriors, which is really a slap in the face of those who predict that he will soar from now on. And his performance is so shocking, it is naturally indispensable to be on this list.
1st place, Rudy Gobert, 13.6% turnout
The eyes of the masses are bright, it seems that not only the fans think Gobert is very empty, but even the players unanimously believe that his fame is greater than his strength. Especially if he has never averaged more than 15 points per game and more than 2.5 blocks in his career, he can get 3 DPOYs and a big contract with a maximum salary of over 100 million, and there will definitely be many players who are not convinced. Sure enough, the 13.6% turnout was the best proof of this.
It is also worth mentioning that the two supergiants of the active league, Anthony Davis and Jayson Tatum, are also on the list, both with 2.5% turnout, ranking 11th and 12th respectively. The reason these two are on the list is probably because one of them is known as the league's top defensive titan but has never won the DPOY, and the other is known as a superstar but has never won the championship, and they collapse at every critical moment.
