And people here would have taken Embiid over the guy

Early candidates for MIP: George Hill, Otto Porter, Giannis Antetokounmpo.

For some reason it's hard for me to believe Cousins is only 26. It seems like he's been around forever.

thought he was younger than that tbh, 'cause he only played the 1 year in college iirc

would have guessed like 24 or something

fair enough

discussion topic: who are the most underrated guys in the league?

i'll nominate kemba. just feel he is not talked about much at all despite being pretty freaking good. of course there being so many good pg's and playing in charlotte doesn't help.

I'd bet general thinking puts him at about a Bulls Ben Gordon level of play, but I honestly don't watch Charlotte to know his impact.

If for some reason you thought Pop wasn't the GOAT

Wow that was incredible.

"I'm not done" was the best part.

By us or by casual fan?

Kemba is definitely one either way. He's awesome

if dougie isn't the worst defender itl my eyes should be taken from me and sewn onto a manikin

Derrick Favors

Brook Lopez

Speaking of Kemba..

Lebron imo

It's been Lebron pretty much his whole career

Casual fan here, being watching Embiid and like his game a lot. curious to hear how you guys would rank these players going forward: Davis, KAT, Cousins, Embiid, Jokic

lol, you mean overrated? Favors is talked about like he's a top 15 asset.

Wow that's tough. For next 5 years I'd go

Davis
KAT
Cousins
Jokic
Embiid

Assuming we're just talking about them as players, and not their teams.

Where did you get these stats? I assume basketballreference.com, but do they have stats for long 2 point shot percentages? And do they show what percentage of shots are long 2s?

Or is there somewhere else you are getting this from?

Derozan underrated, Favors overrated. Story checks out.

Are they ever going to figure something out assist-wise when a guy passes it to another guy who gets fouled shooting and makes anywhere from 1-3 FTs?

Robert Covington. By far the most underrated player by our fanbase and I imagine he's viewed similarly by most NBA fans (minus aejones). There are actually fans that think we should cut him.

Lol you guys talk about DD like he's the plague while he's balling his brains out.

Do you watch him play or just refresh these spreadsheets every game? He's absolutely killing it and going 6 games in conf finals, while you guys laugh at him so yeh he's underrated

You posting this after the Charlotte game just blows my mind. He won that game making many jumpers that never touched the rim

He was maybe the 2nd best player (3rd on per minute basis) on that team that eeked into the conference finals, winning game 7s in round 1 vs a bad team and then round 2 vs a team that lost its best player. They then, shockingly, got absolutely destroyed by a real team. Oh and he was absolutely terrible btw putting up a 14.7 PER & 46% TS.

He's a good player, hugely overpaid but w/e the Raps couldn't really do anything, but a good player nonetheless. He is, as has been mentioned many times itt, shooting way over his head and will come back to earth. I can't imagine watching tonight's game and thinking "woah that's sustainable". Idk if you follow this thread too much but it was in response to who I can only imagine is the biggest DD nuthugger in the world, who has multiple times itt talked about his chances of being in the top 5 MVP.
