How is he overrated? It's not like NBA GMs were climbing over each other to draft him. He was the 24th overall pick after all.

I don't think anyone had the expectation that he would be a star NBA player at all.

He's still a Rookie and will certainly be a serviceable good NBA player. I see him as a Rodney Stuckey Type moving forward, solid 6th man with high scoring potential. He could also turn into a star, but I don't think anyone has that expectation.

You made it seem like people thought he was the second coming or something. He will be an average player in the league. Maybe a little more but I doubt it.

He is a rookie, playing on a team that just went thru a huge change...that has had 2 of its main players injured for the entire season basically, changing their system/type of play on a game-to-game basis almost. Cut him some slack...He won't be a superstar, but he will be able to contribute as a good PG (maybe even starting if he really develops his playmaking abilities over the next year or two).
