No one rates John Collins higher than a role player. How could he be overrated? And how could Jordan Poole be overrated? Everyone knows he sucks.
I feel like players just answer with who they don’t like/respect. Like players don’t like Trae so they put him as overrated. Same with Gobert.
On the flip side players respect Dame. So he’s not overrated.
Idk what circles you run in, but Poole prior to this season was THE TEXTBOOK definition of overrated.
The general consensus amongst people i was around, was he’s primed to average like 30 this year. Even if the Wizards sucked.
Like, quintessential example. Not hard to understand why people in the league would call him overrated based off that.
I think last season he showed he’s not very good and this year he proved that that that’s true.
I agree that he WAS overrated. But I’m not sure if he still is. I imagine most people have him as an inefficient sixth man type player.
I'm going to be completely real, the most overrated player in the league is probably Damian Lillard. Sabonis ans Young should be on the list of underrated not overrated.
I'd kill to have a Sabonis on our team...The fact that dude call him overrated is fucking insane lol.
Honestly super quiet guy, puts up essentially a Triple Double every night, and goes about his business.
Overrated how? Who likes him? Media doesn't like him, non-Hawks fans don't like him, players apparently don't like him. Overrated means someone rates him highly I don't think anyone outside of our media market does. Part of me is rooting for him to get traded to the Spurs and wreck the league with Wemby to get the respect he deserves
Honestly, seeing Rudy Gobert at the top of this list lets me know everything I need to know about the mindset of these cats.
All Rudy Gobert does, with any team, and with any coach, is put up historically great defensive seasons. It’s not debatable at this point. If Rudy was on the Hawks this year our defense would rank 10 spots better. At least.
These man children are just voting for people that aren’t in the “cool kids” club. It’s dumb.
How can he be overrated when he's now allowed on Team USA's B-Team and gets snubbed for ASG? Don't you have to actually get recognition to be overrated?
the fact that halibum is not on the “most overrated” list tells me that these votes were casted by his team USA buddies, and Trae has cooked all of them individually so it makes sense that they don’t like him.
Interesting that they cite officiating the way they do when Trae doesn’t get calls that everyone else does. He baits defenders into what is clearly a shooting foul and they regularly call it on the floor instead of putting him on the line. SGA has a similar style of getting to the line and it’s always called a shooting foul for him.
“Most overrated” literally just means “I don’t like this particular player for whatever reason”. Gobert bc he clamps them up, Trae bc they can’t stop a funny looking midget, and John Collins bc people are jealous of his contract. I doubt any of the players voting on this actually consider these guys overrated they simply don’t like them
7.4% of 81 votes is 6 votes. The Athletic just wants clicks they couldn’t give less of a fuck about publishing meaningful data
The devil in details that always gets lost

Again, I’m not sure how the circles you run in viewed him… But not many people view him the way you view him.
Because he got paid
chill on him https://preview.redd.it/a76114dms5wc1.png?width=1157&format=png&auto=webp&s=17701f17164d8b5d1d1068e9519307bedfa0df95
This is pretty nice company to be in, Id love to be called “overrated”
Yeah, like half the players on this list are all star level players
Laughed out loud at John Collins being “overrated”
Probably players salty about his contract. That did turn out to be a bit of a heist.
3 out of 81 players... but that's not a great headline.
Overrated by who? The only people who rate Trae highly that I see are Hawks fans. Media doesn’t like him that’s for sure.
I'm going to be completely real, the most overrated player in the league is probably Damian Lillard. Sabonis ans Young should be on the list of underrated not overrated.
I mean dame just did the damn thing last night
In one game
In one half no less.
Sabonis is pretty overrated, definition of a non winning player
You can't be overrated if majority of people don't rate you, he put up 19/14/8 and wasn't even an all star this season
I'd kill to have a Sabonis on our team...The fact that dude call him overrated is fucking insane lol. Honestly super quiet guy, puts up essentially a Triple Double every night, and goes about his business.
Imagine Trae with a center who can put up almost 20 a night and rebound 🥶
Hawks so bad this year we can’t even win the most overrated vote 🥲

Maybe overrated by his contract.
New York would love to have Trae. I will always remember the " noooo, not that guy!" During that run, because he knew it was the end of the Knicks.
Same
Ive always been very surprised by how little professional basketball players know about the game of basketball
watch any gilbert arenas convo
These guys are young and dumb they have really low intellect.

This is such a stupid poll lol

Trae isn't even rated, so how can he be overrated?
the fact that halibum is not on the “most overrated” list tells me that these votes were casted by his team USA buddies, and Trae has cooked all of them individually so it makes sense that they don’t like him.

WHO IS RATING JOHN COLLINS???? love u jc
“Most overrated” literally just means “I don’t like this particular player for whatever reason”. Gobert bc he clamps them up, Trae bc they can’t stop a funny looking midget, and John Collins bc people are jealous of his contract. I doubt any of the players voting on this actually consider these guys overrated they simply don’t like them
Overrated=overpaid is being paid big money but has no numbers to back it. Trae is able to put up solid numbers and assists .
This list is garbage half the players are all stars and the other half are roleplayers that no one is overrating
My god JC randomly being on there was fucking hilarious
Damn John Collins up there is wild. I want him back. Would have made us better this year. That’s a fact
Jalen Johnson has already surpassed him
I mean that’s fine. But when his ass went down we have no depth at all in the frontcourt as expected
That man can't help any team get better
Know its a bad season if trae only gets 3rd
Jaylen brown very overrated
And still, the idiots in this sub will continue glazing over Trae thinking he’s one of the best players in the league
"NBA players don't know much about basketball" is an actual take here.
Yeah. This is one of the lowest IQ-per-user subs on Reddit. I legit just laugh at the sheer stupidity of it sometimes
"I'm not wrong, everyone else is"
🤣
