AD no doubt one of the most overrated players in the NBA. He's too soft to play Center so the team is forced to have an extra big man out there hurting the offense, and he isn't the primary rim protector so his defensive impact is highly overrated by gaudy numbers. DRPM and DRAPTOR aren't perfect metrics, but they agree with the eye test. AD's DRPM is 35th among PFs this year
His On/Off DRAPTOR is 124th in the league with guys like Ish Smith and Kuzma
He ranks the same as KAT in Defensive Impact
for a perennial DPOY those teams in NO were often terrible defensively. He barely had a top 10 defense and he only did that once, most seasons they were in the 20s
he often ducks great big men, when we play him he won't cover Embiid but Embiid will shut him down
Offensively he's a great finisher of plays, but he doesn't create jack shyt. He's super dependent on other players. For reference, over the last three years 47% of Embiid's shots have been unassisted, 43% of Jokic's, compared to just 33% of AD's comparable to guys like Robin Lopez and Tyson Chandler
He's still a good offensive player, but not as good as his high numbers suggest again
If Embiid played like AD has been, led such dud defenses, had these random awful games, constantly miss the playoffs until he buddies up with Bron, he'd be ridiculed 24/7, but no one ever says shyt about AD
I hate that shyt lmfaooo I be on the game trying to remove it and this shyt glued to his player smh
