Which NBA players are quietly having a great season?

[insidehoops]

Who do you say is under-the-radar and actually doing big things this season?

[bullettooth]

Jokic, really. It's not like he's an attentionwhore nor does the media even give a shit about him.

[NBAGOAT]

Dangelo Russell. Wendell carter jr.

[iamgine]

Robert "Time Lord" Williams.

This guy is fcking incredible.

[Axe]

Some teammates of ja morant. Steven adams is one of them it seems.

[tanibanana]

KAT, DBook, Joker

[Jasper]

Maxey ---- most improved player in my book.

Took care of business against the Nets the other day.

[ShawkFactory]

Franz Wagner has low-key been awesome as a rookie. I think only Cade, Mobley, and Barnes have been better and really it's not by that much.

[Wally450]

Grant Williams has taken a huge step forward this season.

[Bankaii]

Jokic, really. It's not like he's an attentionwhore nor does the media even give a shit about him.
How is that “quietly” when people act like he’s having one of the greatest seasons ever, and he’s an MVP candidate (despite not having a high seed).

All your posts are so bad lol.

[Patrick Chewing]

RJ Barrett

[pegasus]

Monk, Carmelo.

[Manny98]

Bruce Brown, one of the best role players in basketball

Westbrook

[HylianNightmare]

Wendell carter jr.


Came in here to post about Wendell. Didn't think anyone would've mentioned him

[Full Court]

I'm going to say Reggie Jackson. You'd think the Clippers would be doing a lot worse than they are without PG and Leonard. Jackson's put a lot on his shoulders.

[Full Court]

And for good measure, I'll add Jonathan Kuminga.

Devin Booker...

It's kind of ridiculous the amount of hate and doubt he still gets, especially for a guy who got drafted to an "undesirable" market in a terrible situation yet stayed loyal and just focused on getting better every single year he's been in the league, being patient while the team rebuilt for nearly half a decade, instead of demanding a trade like most entitled young stars these days. And back when he first joined the league he got discredited for putting up good stats on a god awful g league level team because they couldn't get wins, when the best teammate he ever had was literally hot garbage Eric "I dont wanna be here" Bledsoe. But now those same exact people are discrediting him for putting up good stats on a good team and getting wins.... like what in the f*ck sense does that make?

There's people, even on this forum, that still treat him like some chump generic volume scorer who chucks like crazy, can't pass, doesn't play defense, etc... lol. Saying shit like that instantly exposes that you don't watch him enough to have an opinion. He's arguably one of the better defensive guards in the league now and still clearly continuing to improve on the defensive side of the ball. It's actually insane how much he's improved on defense, even just this year. So scratch that off your arguments against him. Since CP3 has been out he's been the best playmaker on the team averaging around 8 APG while the Suns continue to have one of the top 3 AST/TO ratios in the league in that time. On the year he has the highest FG% in the clutch among all starting guards. He's the most clutch player on the most clutch team by far in the league, a team that is an unheard of 44-0 when leading after 3 quarters. A team that has a clutch net rating(30.5) that is more than DOUBLE the #2 team(15.0, Bucks).

Stats have only been skyrocketing since CP3(and multiple other starters/key rotation players in that time) have been out, while simultaneously INCREASING the gap between the Suns and the #2 seed. He's making all of the people who claimed the Suns and Booker are chumps without CP3 look like monumental dumb*sses. If you were one of the ones who made those claims, you look like a moron right now. Congrats. But tbh he was already making you look like a moron last year when he dropped a 50 point triple double in the Western Conference Finals without CP3 and led the Suns to win both game 1 and 2 of the WCF with CP3 sitting out. But I digress.

Time for some of you to eat crow and admit you were wrong about him.

True, Booker's the best he's ever been this season. He's a borderline top 20 player for the first time in his career.

Also while I'm at it, I should add Cam Johnson. He's been arguably the best 3 point shooter in the whole league this year(at MINIMUM top 3), on the best team in the league, yet he didn't even get an invite to the 3pt contest? Can someone explain to me how that even happens?

And do I even need to mention how people act like Mikal Bridges is a complete nobody, yet he has arguably the strongest argument for DPOY in the league? Almost nobody in the media talks about him. He gets nearly 0 hype.

If both of these players were on the Lakers or Knicks and they were having a season this good, you'd be seeing their names talked about constantly and held in high regard. These are guys who heavily contribute to winning basketball. There's a reason Villanova won 2 NCAA national championships with Bridges. He's just a winner.

I'm not even going to count that as disrespect compared to the way a lot of people talk about him that clearly don't watch him.

Do you think booker will make 1st team all-nba?

Might not, I think Luka and Trae Young gonna get in there before him.

Of course they're going to get in before him. Because wins only mattered when they used his lack of wins against him, now that he's at the top wins don't mean shit.
