Overview

• A poll conducted by The Athletic named Tyrese Haliburton the NBA's most overrated player, with 14.4% of the vote from 90 players.
• Haliburton's scoring and assists averages declined this season to 18.6 points and 9.2 assists per game, down from 20.1 points and 10.9 assists last year.
• Despite the criticism, Haliburton led the Pacers to the Eastern Conference Finals in 2024 and secured the fourth seed in the East this season.
• Other players ranked as overrated in the poll include Rudy Gobert (10%) and Trae Young (8.9%).
• Analyst Dan Dakich challenged the poll's results, suggesting Damian Lillard as a more fitting choice for the 'overrated' label.
