Ben Simmons ranks first! As the offseason approaches, the US media "fadeawayworld" has selected the top 10 overrated players in the past 10 years, among which Westbrook unexpectedly ranked 9th, Poole ranked 7th, and George ranked 4th.

Tenth place: The Pope

As the "unicorn" Pope, when he appeared, he was able to make championship-level contributions on both offense and defense, and played an irreplaceable role during the Celtics' championship.

It's a pity that he couldn't keep his healthy appearance for a long time, so he was selected on the list. The Celtics sold it at a low price in the offseason is enough to say everything.

Ninth place: Westbrook

As the former MVP and the triple-double king in history, Westbrook's selection on the list is a bit surprising.

But from the actual content of the game, as we grow older, Westbrook is unable to develop the shortcomings of projection and is constantly targeted. In addition, his uneasy style of play can easily disrupt his team, resulting in his selection on the list.

However, as Westbrook accepts the basic salary to prove himself and no longer bears a large contract of 40 million, he no longer needs to be criticized.

8th place: Bill

Bill's condition is worse than Westbrook, who has at least won the MVP and has a positive attitude towards the game.

Bill is a typical top scorer of a bottom team. After joining the Suns, he quickly exposed his lack of data content. He has a weak defense and is completely unworthy of his maximum salary.

7th place: Poole

Pole and Bill are players of the same type, both of whom are good at shooting and scoring, but compared with Bill's stability and explosive power, Poole's ups and downs, and the overall efficiency is not good.

, and from time to time, he staged the "five embarrassing" moments in the competition, which allowed him to get a higher ranking. Fortunately, he is still young enough and still has plenty of time to complete self-provement.

No. 6: Russell

Russell is in a similar situation to Poole. When he is in a hot state, he can score three-pointers continuously on the offensive end, and can stage a silky breakthrough layup to play with his opponent.

But he is a bottomless black hole on the defensive end and cannot support the starting role of a strong team. In addition, his age is increasing, and the outside world's expectations for him are getting lower and lower.

Fifth place: Kuzma

Also as a player produced by the Lakers, Kuzma's figure and talent give him a better defensive foundation and level, and once played a reliable 3D wing during the Lakers' championship.

This made the Wizards have high expectations for it. They once bet on Kuzma and Poole as the core of reconstruction. After obtaining a lot of ball rights and ball-holding opportunities, Kuzma's data output increased, but its efficiency plummeted. After the Bucks sold Miser bet on Kuzma in the 24-25 season, the latter was lost again and could not even return to the familiar efficient 3D wing character.

4th place: George

In the peak season, George was a MVP player and one of the best two-way players of his era. Unfortunately, he has been involved in many giant teams but has never been able to succeed.

What's worse is that George is unable to stay healthy for a long time. His efficiency plummeted after a brief comeback in the 24-25 season. In addition, his big contract has just begun, and his ranking will surely be further improved in the future.

Third place: Gober

Gobert was full of the dividends of the decline of the center in the small ball era, allowing him to get big contracts again and again, but his actual game influence was disappointing.

The offensive end has no ability to hold the ball at all, and can only rely on eating cakes to get points, resulting in very limited threats after pick-and-roll. The defensive end seems to have won DPOY continuously, but in fact it is difficult to deal with the top players' defense switch.

Second place: Zion

Zion was once hailed as the next James. His athletic talent and confrontational ability were even more terrifying than when James first entered the league, so the Pelicans have always regarded him as the core of the team building.

presented big contracts again and again, but in turn, Zion was reimbursed again and again. He was indeed very dominant after he appeared on the court, but unfortunately he could not stay on the court for a long time.

Coupled with the news of undisciplined off-site and various gossip news, this once highly anticipated pride of heaven has disappointed people.

No. 1: Ben Simmons

When Ben Simmons entered the league, he was also known as the "next James". Even his growth curve and performance were more hopeful than Zion.

At his peak, Ben Simmons was a DPOY-level defender, and he also played the role of a magician-like super-high point guard on the offensive end, with top vision and passing ability.

The outside world is imagining that Ben Simmons developed the dominance of the game after shooting, but he not only never developed the shooting, but also constantly fell into injuries and became the most overrated player.
