Hayward is not only the most overrated player in the league but also the most overrated dunker on this list

Why do you think he's overrated? I think he's gonna be a pretty good 3rd option one day soon, just had a tough time on that terrible, terrible Jazz team.

What you`re saying is not to far fetched, but as the years progress, the chances of him being the 3rd best player on a good team (let alone a contender) is diminishing because he has yet to make that much of an improvement for the past 2 years. Outside of his ability to make plays, he really isn`t elite at one thing that can justify his contract, he`s above average many facets of the game which makes him a solid starter on a good team but as a 3rd option, one would expect much better efficiency (I`d argue that Favors is the better player on that Utah team and has scored in a more productive fashion). That is disappointing for a max player, and all the media hype out there for him, case in point, he was ranked 47 by ESPN ranking, ahead of guys Stephenson, Batum, Ellis, Monroe, Derron Williams, Gortat, Deng, etc. whom I would easily pick ahead of Hayward and have proven more at this stage in their careers. I don`t think he`s a bad player, but very overrated

I'm not a Hayward fan but the hang-time on that dunk was awesome. Loved the 2 handed finish, the 2 handed dunks just seem ridiculously demoralizing.

Maybe overrated in the league, but I don't think he's a highly rated enough dunker to be called an overrated dunker. This dunk was just dirty, plain and simple. Full 2-hand dunk-on on a 7 footer.

Wouldn't put it in top 5 of this playlist (but beauty is in the eye of the beholder so you are definitely entitled to your opinion). I wrote overrated dunker on this list, not overrated dunker in general.

Either Hayward or Taj should have got the #1. Two full on posterizations vs. a fast break alleyoop.

Yeah I guess what you wrote could be read in two different ways depending on the emphasis, ie "Hayward's dunk was the most overrated amongst those on this list (and should have been ranked lower)" vs. "of all the overrated dunkers on this list, Hayward is the most overrated." I took it the second way.

I should have been more clear, reading back, I understand the confusion.

Cousins dunk was pretty sweet... a man's dunk.
