Most overrated young player on this blog

[celticsclay]

I will add others that are mentioned by users. To me we consistently see some young players overrated on this blog whether it be our own (Smart, Rozier) or Young guys on other teams that haven't put it all together (Gordon, Okafor, Randle. I didn't want this to get bogged into trying to figure out how to properly rate a vet like Carmelo so tried to keep it in guys in their first 2-5 years (no rookies obviously either). My vote is probably for Saric (though could be compelled to switch). He projects, even among 76er fans but have seen numerous proposals treating him as a super star. Let people vote twice since there a lot of options here.

I am part of the crowd that really wants to take a flier on Okafor. He is a player that is perceived badly and a very small fraction think he has the ability to play better especially on our team....that's not overrating.

[Who]

I don't think overrating is the right description.

There is a wide range of values / ratings given to each of these players. That is why there is so much disagreement and debate about these players.

This is how I would sum it. If you followed the trade deadline closely the 76ers badly just wanted a decent first round. The best offer they were on the verge of getting was a top 20 protected pelicans pick. Which the pelicans seemingly rescinded when they cousins. He also has a serious knee injury that has not healed properly more than a year after a minor surgery. Yet I do some trade proposals on this board that treat him as a potential future start worth giving up a lottery pick. That by the definition is overrating him compared to ever thing we can gather to learn about his value.
Now if you say you want to buy low on him (and I don't know what you have proposed), but you propose something that is in line with what an injured Okafor that performed badly this season and is currently the third string center in Philly, that is totally cool. If someone proposes him for Smart that is overrating.

By the same token I recognize that Smart sometimes gets overrated on this board and probably why he is leading the poll right now.

My picks are Marcus Smart and Julius Randle

I think Devin Booker is pretty overrated.

Same with Porzingis, who has been listed along with KAT and AD a few times.

[Roy H.]

Our team: Rozier

I added Porzingas because I have seen a decent amount of trade proposals for him. i don't really think there is enough discussion on this blog to know what the rating of Booker is. I don't even think the suns know cause their games have been so meaningless.

Cousins and WCS

Larry Sanders my friend, Larry Sanders.

[CelticsElite]

Okafor
saric
Simmons
milsap
 Basically Anyone 6ft9 to 7ft tall, has 1 single post move and a bad Jump shot, and plays for the sixers for some reason




I don't think smart is overrated on here. Mostly everyone's aware he's a scrappy role player who plays defense and gets hot once in a while.
