Jaylen Green is fifth! US media commented on the top 5 players overrated in the past five years: Both Lakers new players were selected

Jaylen Green ranked fifth! After another season, the US media "bleacherreport" selected the top 5 overrated players in the past five years based on its latest performance, among which the two new players of the Lakers were selected.

Fifth place: Jaylen Green (Suns)

When Jaylen Green entered the league, Jaylen Green was highly anticipated. Some media once touted his talent as "upper and lower than the team", and the Rockets also regarded it as the team's long-term core training.

Unfortunately, Jaylen Green never met expectations. Whether during the Rockets' reconstruction period or after the end of reconstruction and returning to the ranks of competitors, Jaylen Green's offensive stability has always been insufficient, which has become one of the Rockets' biggest shortcomings, which eventually led to the team's surprise loss to the Warriors in the first round.

So after the offseason arrives, the Rockets send it to the Suns as part of the deal to exchange it for Durant, which is the best option for both sides, and Jaylen Green can re-prove himself again in the Suns who are trapped in rebuilding again.

No. 4: Kuzma (Bucks)

The fundamental reason why Kuzma was selected for this list is that the Wizards overestimated his growth limit and hoped that he could become a ball-holder scorer at the core level of the team building.

As a result, Kuzma's performance was a mess. After joining the Wizards to get more ball rights, Kuzma's production did rise, but its efficiency was still worrying, which made the Wizards lose money last season and sent him to the Bucks.

What is surprising is that as the former Lakers champion 3D forward, Kuzma was unable to play an efficient blue-collar 3D forward role after joining the Bucks after experiencing the Wizards' core positioning, which made him selected for this list and may further improve his ranking in the future.

Third place: Ayton (Lakes)

As the Lakers' most important signing since the offseason, this summer, the outside world finally saw its true value through the Trail Blazers' behavior of buying out Ayton. The influence of this No. 1 pick who helped the Suns reach the finals in the past has long been different.

In the past five years, Ayton was once regarded as a top modern big man, and his positioning far surpassed the functional inside players such as Harten, Lefley and Kessler, and was even regarded as one of the top ten people in service.

As a result, Ayton's performance was extremely disappointing. It was not because he was lacking in talent, but because he was not very energetic. At the same time, he was too "clean" on the court and was unwilling to devote himself to confrontation and defense, which resulted in his talent but his ending efficiency in the inside line was low, and he was at the bottom of the free throw efficiency.

Second place: Smart (Lakes)

As the former DPOY, Smart also joined the Lakers after buying out this summer. His situation is similar to Ayton. The reason he was selected on the list is not because of his current contract and expectations, but because of his overall performance in the past five years.

Smart has not only been plagued by injuries since leaving the Celtics, but also has a decline in the ability to organize the ball with the ball, the turnover rate has soared, and the efficiency of finishing near the basket has decreased.

Even his proud defense has declined. Fortunately, he only joined the Lakers with a two-year, low-cost contract of $11 million, which will soon leave this list in the future.

No. 1: Myers Bridges

Bridges has explosive physical fitness and can always give a dazzling performance in the game, which made him look forward to for a time, and the Hornets also regard it as one of the long-term training goals.

The result is that Bridges not only caused a huge domestic violence storm outside the court, but also had limited growth in the field, which is the case on both offense and defense.

Bridges has always been very inefficient on the offensive end. His efficiency has been higher than average in the past 5 years in the past 5 years. His true shooting percentage of 54.1% last season was even lower than Jaylen Green. Coupled with his carelessness and dispensable organizational ability on the defensive end, this highly anticipated young forward ranks first.
