Who are the leagues most divisive talents?
I rarely post threads but was curious of this.
Drummond is one, it seems most think he is either a star talent or a garbage big man at best.
Who else makes this list?

I would say Rudolph Gay is one, or least I consider him to be, even at 29.

Draymond. He's a great player vs. Dirty overrated/garbage player.

Derozan
Raps fans: "Absolute superstar and Second coming of VC."
Everyone else: "Meh. He's good when he isn't an selfish chucker."

Ricky Rubio - he's top 3 in defense and playmaking and bottom 3 in putting the ball in the hoop, so there's a pretty wide variety of opinions

Blake Griffin. Regularly still have people saying very dated things like "all he does is dunk". Or even saying he's not a top 20 player etc.

Really? His attitude & demeanor sucks. But, do people really question his talent?

This couldn't be farther from the truth.
Nobody on the Raps board thinks DeRozan is an 'absolute superstar'
In fact you have WAY more people saying he isn't even as good as Danny Green. The Raptors board gets like 2 or 3 DeRozan 'hate' threads every week.
I'm sure there are a few fanboys as there are for any player. But what you're implying is ridiculous.

Harden. Super talented scorer but his effort on defense this year was possibly the worst I've ever seen.

This times a million......there's so much DeRozan hate on the Raps board that's I think he may actually be underrated now lol

Re: Who are the leagues most divisive talents?
Ricky Rubio- some ppl view him a top 10pg even top 7 others view him slight above average middle of the pack
Ben Simmons-some ppl view him once in generation type talent ala lebron james/magic johnson others view him as the next lamar odom
Jahlil Okafor-some ppl view him as an Al Jefferson type player/prospect as his ceiling others view him as the next great offensive center
Jeremy Lin-some ppl view him as perennial backup in the league even scrub others view him as very good starter to fringe all star given opportunity/pt
personal views
1) top 15 pg
2) In between blake griffin and lamar odom
3) top 5 center behind towns drummond cousins porzingis
4) slightly above goran dragic level

Yikes. You clearly have no idea what Raptors fans think
DeRozan gets hate threads on the Raptors board on a consistent basis. Even threads not about DeRozan turns into DeRozan bashing.

Re: Who are the leagues most divisive talents?
Agree with Derozan for sure. Definitely Kobe.
I think Blake Griffin is definitely one, right throughout his career and for different reasons. From all flash and dunks vs all NBA candidate early in his career to now its that he's still a superstar vs injury prone/lost it.
From an all-time perspective I think people in underrate Shaq, top 10 all-time imo
