Alperen Şengün Tops 'Most Overrated' in NBA Players’ Poll

A small response pool makes the label less definitive.

Overview

  • The Athletic published its anonymous player poll Wednesday naming Şengün the top choice for most overrated with 10 of 81 votes, or 12.3%.
  • One anonymous voter explained the pick by saying, “He’s crying every play,” criticizing his frequent complaints to referees.
  • Reporters urged caution because only 81 players answered the overrated question out of 161 surveyed overall.
  • The two-time All-Star averaged 20.4 points, 8.9 rebounds and 6.2 assists this season, but his efficiency dipped and he struggled in the Rockets’ first-round loss to the Lakers.
  • The results also drew notice for a heavy international presence on the list, which led fans online to question possible bias in peer perceptions.
