The most overrated star? 19+ anti-aircraft guns in the regular season, and the Hawks thought they were picking up treasures

On August 16, if you talk about an underrated player at an active service, many fans will probably be able to say 1-2. Although they don’t look very powerful, they are definitely very useful on the court. For example, White from the Celtics, many times he is not less helpful to the team than the second-in-commander Brown. He is very versatile, but because he is too low-key, he has not received much attention and has not even been selected as an All-Star.
When it comes to overrated players in the league, fans and friends can also say a lot, such as LaVine, who averaged 23 points per game last season, shot 50% from the field and shot 40% from the three-point shooting rate. Both the scoring data and offensive efficiency are excellent, but they just can't trade out. The reason is that he cannot lead the team to win, and his ability to control is also very poor. Although he can play with the star's data, he actually does not have the strength of the star.
When it comes to who is the most overrated player in the league, I think it is Porzingis. This is probably familiar to many fans. In the 2015 draft, he was called a unicorn because of his 2.2 meters tall and excellent athletic ability and shooting ability. After the arrival of the small ball era, he was even more respected by many teams. At that time, Kuban was very interested in foreign players, so he also obtained Porzingis through the transaction and asked him to partner Doncic to win the game.
After playing for a few years, Kuban also found a problem. Although Porzingis had good shooting ability, both defense and killing in the inside were not reliable. In this case, the Mavericks also traded him as a garbage contract to the Wizards. Porzingis averaged 20+ per game during the Wizards, which also attracted the attention of the outside world. In the end, the Celtics won him by trading Smart.
He won the championship during the Celtics, so he has also been recognized by the outside world. But to be honest, his contribution to this championship may be the least among the core, and he is not even as much as the sixth man Prichard. This is not a deliberate belittle him. In last year's playoffs, Porzingis played a total of 7 games, averaging 12.3 points, 4.4 rebounds, 1.1 assists and 1.6 blocks per game, and a three-point shooting percentage of 34.5%. He did make efforts, but he didn't make much.
Everyone also saw that Porzingis still played very eye-catching in the playoffs. He played in total, with averaging 7.7 points and 4.6 rebounds per game, shooting percentage of 31.6%, and three-point shooting percentage of 15%. Seeing this, some fans may say that Porzingis was not performing well due to the virus infection. He was indeed affected, but his career has not performed well in the playoffs. He has averaged 11.9 points, 5.2 rebounds and 1 assist in his career, with a shooting percentage of 43%, and 31% of three-pointers.
I saw it. Can such a performance be considered a star? It is said that the playoffs are the stage for stars. Obviously, his performance is not as good as a star, but you can't say that he is not a star, because he is very good in the regular season. Everyone knows that because he is not targeted and Porzingis has a good space ability. In this case, he can also get a chance to take action more easily, so he performed well in the regular season.
In the regular season last season, Porzingis averaged 19.5 points, 6.8 rebounds, 2.1 assists and 1.5 blocks, with a shooting percentage of 48.3%, and a three-point shooting percentage of 41.2%. His shooting efficiency can be said to be very excellent, and the data is also enough. As for his regular season performance, it is not an exaggeration to call him the league's top anti-aircraft gun, but after watching his playoff performance, everyone knows why when trading Porzingis in the offseason, the outside world said that the Celtics needed to take a draft to send it away.
Because he is a premium player, he can't help the team in the playoffs, and probably the team that is willing to eat the garbage contract wants to win him, but the Hawks treat him as a treasure. They pulled the Nets to complete the three-party transaction. The team gave Mann+ the No. 22 draw in the first round, in exchange for Porzingis and a second round pick. To be honest, Porzingis is no longer worth the price of the first round pick, and the Hawks also won him.
It is estimated that the Hawks will treat him as a treasure. In this offseason, the Hawks have done a lot of operations. In addition to getting Porzingis, they also won Alexander Walker and Kennard. The team wanted to chase the record in the regular season, but they did not renew the contract for Trae Young. I think the Hawks wanted to fight another game in the regular season. If they can't play the record next season, they will give up Trae Young. At the same time, Porzingis also has an expiration contract, and he gave up, rebuilding around Jaylen Johnson and Daniels.
To be honest, if you want to fight, the team should introduce more suitable stars, rather than those like Pope. Perhaps the Hawks' record in the regular season will be good, but it is probably difficult for their core combination to achieve results in the playoffs. If he becomes a free agent, can Polygon still win a big contract? I think it's very difficult. Having said that, what do you want to say about Porzingis? Welcome to leave a message for discussion.
