Rockets abandoned Jaylen Green ranked first! After another season, the US media "fadeawayworld" announced the top 5 most overrated players in each position based on its latest performance, including two of the Lakers.

Point guards: Trae Young, Russell, Poole, Tayse Jones and Rozier

The top three point guards are typical "offensive" point guards, with extremely limited defensive capabilities. Trae Young enters the NBA with the reputation of the next Curry, and the result is that the team's record has always been poor. The overall data seems good, but the value is very limited.

Russell is omnipotent on the offensive end, especially after entering the state, Russell's scoring explosive power is amazing, but his stability is insufficient and his defensive end is even more obvious.

Poole's condition is similar, and his offensive efficiency and stability are worse. As for the "king of assists and turnovers", Jones and defensive point guard Rozier have limited personal influence on the offensive end.

Scorebacks: Jerry Green, Bill, Cam Thomas, Reeves and Clarkson

Rockets abandoned Jaylen Green and became the most overrated player in the point guard position. At the beginning of entering the NBA, Jaylen Green, who had exaggerated athletic talent, was once touted by some media as "upper Joe and low-key".

After, after being trained by the Rockets for many years, Jaylen Green's growth is still limited, and the offensive end is still unstable. In the playoffs, he exposed the fatal problem of hard-working ability and lack of energy at critical moments. Fortunately, he is still young enough.

The other players are also typical offensive players, with obvious shortcomings on the defensive end and insufficient efficiency on the offensive end. Among them, Lakers Reeves is particularly obvious. If it weren't for the Purple and Gold Army in the big ball market, it would be difficult for Reeves to be regarded as a qualified star as a undrafted player.

Small Forwards: Barrett, Wiggins, Harris, Kuzma and Porter Jr.

Barrett was once regarded as the core of the team building by the Raptors, but his offense and defense stability were insufficient, and he was in an embarrassing state of "not up or down," and was gradually abandoned by the Raptors. The same is true for Wiggins, who played proudly in the Finals during his time with the Warriors, but Wiggins was not competitive for most of his career.

Harris's problem is that the contract is too large than his own ability. Kuzma played a reliable 3D forward during the Lakers' championship, but his performance plummeted after being set up as the core by the Wizards and gained a lot of ball rights, especially his efficiency is extremely poor. As for Porter Jr., he also played the role of the three leading players during the Nuggets' championship, but his injuries and instability led to his abandonment this summer.

Power Forwards: Zion, George, Jaren Jackson Jr., Randle and Collins

Zion has an exaggerated physical talent and was once regarded as the next American figure trained by the NBA. Zion also showed unsolvable finishing ability when he appeared. Unfortunately, he has been unable to solve the injury problem, which has led to him becoming one of the most overrated players. George's condition is similar.

As for Jaren Jackson Jr. and Randall, the former is regarded as a top defender and has won the DPOY honor, but his personal foul control is poor and he is unable to deliver qualified rebound contributions. The latter's stability and efficiency are worrying. Fortunately, he completed self-provement in the Timberwolves last season and has hope to completely leave the list in the future.

The new Clippers' recruit Collins is mainly due to limited growth and has not changed at all. He still relies on the explosive power of sports to play the role of the end point, which is far from meeting the expectations of the outside world.

Center: Ayton, Gobert, Miro, Nurkic and Vucevic

Another player selected by the Lakers is Ayton, and he won the most overrated position in the center, which is closely related to his weak style of play.

As an all-round insider with top athletic talents, Ayton seemed to have a "clean obsession" on the court, unwilling to fight on both offense and defense, and was often lost in the game, far from meeting the expectations of the outside world.

This is also the core reason why the Trail Blazers were willing to forcibly buy out of him in the offseason. I hope that after joining the Lakers, I can regain my passion for the game. Otherwise, under the massive spotlight of the Purple and Gold Legion, Ayton will soon be completely overwhelmed and destroyed by criticism.
