How underrated is prime 'Sheed?

[Noah]

In your estimation

I'd consider his prime from '00 to about '08 I guess, maybe you guys have different opinions on that. But anyway how do you think he compares to the upper tier bigs of that era? Obviously a step below Duncan/KG/Webb/Shaq but he gave a lot of the power forwards some trouble.

How do you rate his skillset and do you think he gets underrated due to outside factors (media) overshadowing his actual talent?

Could have easily been a perennial AS and HOFer...Its funny his skillset would be perfect for todays NBA,he was ahead of his time as a stretch 4...

He wasn't just a stretch 4, he was a beast in the post too

I wish we got to see more of Portland Sheed than Detroit Sheed but Sheed could do it all but was content being a Team Player

He gave Duncan Hell on Defense in their Matchups.

Edit: He also had a great game 7 as a Celtic vs the Lakers

not according to his peers. they always said he was the most talented PF of that era. and right there with KG/Duncan/Webb. only guy outta his class was Shaq. who in his prime was pretty much outside every player in NBA history's class.

yes he was. he was underrated by the media because of their agenda against him. he was properly rated by his peers.

I think that's what his problem was...he relied to much on the fadeaway when he was unstoppable when he spun towards the basket that and his reliance to want to shoot 3's.

He wasn't underrated.

Dude was actually overrated. People rate him on his talent and personality more so than his actual production. Dude could've been on par with Duncan or KG but he just flat out didn't want to be. Be 7 foot with a beastly post game and shoot more 3s that FTs every year brehs.

Prime Sheed is more disappointing than underrated. Dude coulda easily been the best big ever.
