Heartbreaking! Two new players from the Lakers are on the list! Five most overrated players in the NBA

The American Bleacher Report made a list: In the past five seasons, the five most overrated players in the NBA. Without further ado, look at the rankings first: 1. Myers Bridges (Little Bridge); 2. Marcus Smart; 3. DeAndre Ayton; 4. Kyle Kuzma; 5. Jaylen Green. The list of

is a bit interesting, and may be different from what most fans imagine. The open-air stand explained: These players did not play badly, but the reputation they enjoyed was seriously out of touch with the influence of the game. Why is the bridge ranked first? Last season, he averaged 20+ scorers per game, with the lowest efficiency; last season, he was the seventh lowest. The

Open-air stand said that the Bridge played for six years with the Hornets, and in five of them, the team lost more points when he played. In the 2021-22 season, Xiaoqiao averaged 20.2 points, 7 rebounds, 3.8 assists, 0.9 steals, 0.8 blocks and 1.9 turnovers, with three shooting percentages: 49.1%, 33.2%, and 80.2%. In the summer of 2022, his rookie contract officially expired.

At that time, Kobashi asked for a five-year, $170 million maximum salary contract and was bargaining with the Hornets during the offseason. As a result, Xiaoqiao committed suicide and was arrested by Los Angeles police for suspected beating his girlfriend. In November 2022, Xiaoqiao was sentenced to three years of probation and needed to receive a 52-week domestic violence consultation course. He was suspended from the NBA throughout the 2022-23 season and did not play a single game. In the summer of 2023, Xiaoqiao returned to the Hornets for $7.9 million in one year. In the summer of 2024, he renewed his contract with the Hornets for another three-year, $75 million. In the 2024-25 season, Xiaoqiao averaged 20.3 points, 7.5 rebounds, 3.9 assists, 0.7 steals, 0.7 blocks and 2.1 turnovers, with three shooting percentages: 43.1%, 31.3%, 87%, and a real shooting percentage of 54.1%.

Next, let's look at the other four players. The open-air stand believes that Smart's defense is overrated, and his offensive performance is hard to describe. In the past five seasons, among the 155 players who have made similar shots, Smart's effective shooting percentage (50.1%) ranked only 143rd.

Open-air stands believe that Ayton does not rank in the top ten in the Western Conference center! In all inside players in the past five years, Ayton's number of shots at the basket is only ranked in the middle of the league. In addition, Ayton was late for training at the Trail Blazers many times and even missed the team's flight. The Trail Blazers could not send him off his expiration contract and gave him 25 million to leave, which already explained the problem.

The fourth place is Kuzma, and the open-air stand wrote: "The highlight performance of the rookie season has made fans have higher expectations for Kuzma. But he has been on the spot for almost five years and is an inefficient scorer in any area on the court. So far in his career, Kuzma has never played effective shooting percentage and real shooting percentage at the league average."

The fifth place is Jaylen Green, who is still on this list even though he has just entered the league for four years. The evaluation of the open-air stand was sharp: "The outside world's expectations for Green can never match his career performance. The singles shooting percentage was only one season higher than the league average, and the fixed-point shooting percentage last season was at the bottom of the league."

If you were asked to choose, who do you think the most overrated in the league today?
