    In opposite land, Giannis is having a monster start to the season.

    Overhyped: Demarre Carroll?

    Klay Thompson hasn't done much so far... Maybe it's because Steph is going off for 36/5/6 every night.

    Rose will play better, but he just doesn't look like he's a good player any more.

    Noah....he's good for boards and effort. On the Rockets, he would be fighting Chuck Hayes for minutes.

    Anthony Davis and it's not close.

    People have him up there with the like of Harden, Curry and LBJ, who have all been the best player on teams that won 55+, and did playoff damage. He hasn't come close to being an alpha scorer that can carry a great team to wins.

    I not saying he isn't great, he's a hell of a player and the potential is obvious. It's more about how highly people are regarding him before he has actually shown alpha star capabilities.

    Oh ffs! Its only been one week. You cant even overrate a player in a single week. Wait at least until the first month.

    How can you call James Harden overrated from the first week of the season? Did we all forget what he did the previous seasons?

    I remember Shane Battier went from very underrated to overrated overnight because of an article "No Stats All Star" about him.

    Those saying Davis/Harden are going to look foolish in a couple of months.

    Rose/George would probably be at the top of my list but that's not exactly fair considering their recent injuries.

    Therefore I'd have to go with Klay or Love.

    As someone who has watched all of the Raptors game so far this season. Carroll is a big reason they are 5-0.

    he plays a good role for them next to derozan and lowry but he's far from a star and he's gotten a lot of hype as late. a little too much.

    I don't think anyone claimed he was a star. If so, they're delusional.
