NBA players voted for their most overrated peers in the league, and two-time All-Star Trae Young finished head and shoulders above the rest for the infamous accolade.

In an anonymous player survey conducted by The Athletic, 14.8 percent of players said the Hawks guard was the most overrated in the league – double the numbers of the next two names.

Julius Randle and Pascal Siakam – both named All-Stars this season – received 7.4 percent of the vote, while Jimmy Butler, Rudy Gobert and Jars Jackson Jr. each received 5.6 percent respectively.

In Young’s last eight playoff games, dating back to 2021, the Atlanta star has averaged just 16.4 points and 6.6 assists on 31.7 percent from the field and 17.5 percent from three-point range.

Those numbers are well below his career averages at 25.5 points and 10.2 assists per game.

On the bright side, Bucks guard Jrue Holiday was named the most underrated player in the league with 17.5 percent of the vote.

Holiday is regarded as one of, if not the best, on-ball defensemen in the league, but this year only earned his second All-Star nomination in a 14-year career.

Further down the list, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander received 11.3 percent of the vote, Nets breakout Mikal Bridges received 5.2 percent, and Jalen Brunson, Jaden McDaniels and Derrick White all received 4.1 percent.

Jaylen Brown, Anthony Edwards and De’Aaron Fox were also among those receiving votes.

The poll was of 108 players, nearly a quarter of the league’s players.
