Perhaps there is no greater testament to Atlanta Hawks point guard Trae Young’s polarity than the fact that, within the span of four months, he was voted as both the NBA’s most overrated player and its most underrated player by different media outlets.
Back in April, The Athletic conducted an end-of-regular-season poll featuring dozens of players to gauge their opinions on their NBA peers. In that poll, Young’s counterparts gave him the unenviable recognition as the most overrated player in the entire NBA.
But now, a new list published by powerhouse media outlet Bleacher Report has listed Young as the league’s most underrated player dating back to the last five seasons.
