Don't think he's "overrated"... Noone thinks that highly of him anymore.

Jeff Green & Ryan Anderson spring to mind. The former does nothing well consistently. The latter is 1-D.

Few secrets in today's NBA though, with all the TV coverage. People in Memphis are wary of Green, and I'm sure people in Nawlins are wary of Anderson.

Rose has to be a point guard meaning pass the ball, assists , rebounds and go to the hole once in a while

Exactly. One of the most mis-used word by sports fans.

Currently most overrated to me: Draymond Green. He's really good, but people have been acting like he's the best PF in the league lately which is crazy to me.

[Bluehorseshoe]

Love.

[Seto]

Love.

He was a couple years ago for sure. But now I don't think he's relevant anymore to most people.

It was funny when people considered him a top 5 or top 10 player when he couldn't lead his team to a single postseason or even winning record in 6 years.

Currently most overrated to me: Draymond Green. He's really good, but people have been acting like he's the best PF in the league lately which is crazy to me.

I'm surprised to see Draymond's name here..what PF do you take over him right now? Davis I could understand, but given Draymond's +40% 3 pt shooting and 7 assists I think the comparison is a little closer than people think. Look at the games he has when Steph or Klay is out, he can really do anything they need him to offensively all while being one of the best (if not the best) defenders in the league. Davis has the green light and could (should?) be averaging close to 30 ppg on a struggling team.

You can't be serious.
Draymond is underrated in my opinion.
I think he's the most important piece on this team.
Take him away, you have two guards and a bunch of mediocrity everywhere else.

What he does on both ends of the floor is ridiculous..contributes in every statistical category, defends hard, endless motor, can shoot the rock....

No.
Just no.

Klay Thompson on the other hand, would be simply mediocre without steph

Totally agree. Draymond is the catalyst for the Warriors small ball lineup and brings all the emotion/confidence to the table. Can't measure the importance of that stuff...

[DUBnation]

Agreed I think he's finally getting the recognition he deserves. Still think he should have won DPOY last year. Kawhi is right up there too, but who else in the league can legitimately guard 1-5? Especially at 6' 7" which might be a little generous

Exactly. Dray and Bogut (and Iggy to a lesser extent) bring the toughness that Steph and Klay lack, and allow their finesse styles to work

Easy. James Harden. Empty stats on a losing team.

Bingo.

Love isn't fitting in as well as Cleveland thought he would.

Now in his second year with the team, he still hasn't lived up to the expectations of the Cavs.

[RyleeCashflow]

Agreed.

Side Note: His Adidas commercial is so corny as well.

Expected this to be controversial.

Davis has the green light and could (should?) be averaging close to 30 ppg on a struggling team.

I'd take Aldridge, Griffin over him. Maybe Davis too. A few others could be considered on par with him.

Look, he's really good. But I feel like the whole talk about him being the best PF is an overreaction. Has he really established himself as a 40+% 3 point shooter, I mean he's never shot over 34 in his career. I realise players work on their game and can improve things like shooting but I'm expecting a regression.

I just feel like he benefits a lot from playing with Steph and how Steph constantly gets doubled when Draymond screens for him. I could be wrong. For instance I expect to get heat (not necessarily from you) for the Griffin comparison, but if you put Draymond on the Clippers instead of Griffin would they improve? I think they'd be worse, but that's my opinion.

Remember, underrated/overrated is in relation to the perception people have of you. And the perception of Draymond is sky high right now so there's no way he can still be considered underrated. It's common for people to judge being "underrated" as someone who does all the intangibles right, which is pretty much what you've described. But he is, to me, one of those players that has been described as underrated so so much that it actually makes him overrated if you get what I mean. Mike Conley is another player in that catgeory for instance. People harp on you so much for underrating him that he actually becomes overrated.

overrated ? I think he is underrated...

Same answer.

[DUBnation]

I get what you're saying, and this season is far from over so who knows what his stats will look like at the end of the year. The way I see it he's been improving all season and if he can maintain these numbers for the rest of the season I think there will be a legitimate argument that he's the best PF in the league.

Oh there's no doubt he's great and has improved a lot. Glad to see someone capable of having a discussion about one of their teams' players without getting offended or taking it personal

[IBetYou]

Americans only care about wins & losses, not reasoning (no offense!!). That's why Green is in the MVP conversation. Griffin is the better player.

[DUBnation]

And as far as a Draymond/Griffin switch, that's a good question. I think both teams would get worse as Griffin and Paul's games complement each other really well and they already have a ball dominant guard and excellent distributor, although they could definitely use Dray's defense. The Warriors on the other hand really need Dray's passing, as he is basically their PG this year. Blake wouldn't bring much as he isn't too valuable without the ball in his hands, but he is a really underrated distributor.
