And of course, from your perspective, we might still "underrate" him (legit opinion), but in a general sense he is not significantly underrated on this board. In fact he might be "overrated".....just saying.I’ve read pretty much every single basketball related post on this board since finding it back in the late 1990’s (or was it the early 00’s, I can’t remember…Scott do you?), I can’t tell you a single poster that has written a bad rating of DFS. If there are no bad rating posts of DFS, how can he be underrated? Maybe Fif or KL can point me to a couple?
There is a natural range of opinions on any given player and we should welcome that range without labeling each other. I personally think we should save the term "underrated" and "overrated" for extreme circumstances outside the natural range. It is like how some folks think I am some "Luka hater" when I express concern about his conditioning and early season performance. That is actually laughable because he is my favorite player on the whole team! And yes my opinion of Luka is "down" from last year, but I do not believe I am "underrating" him in some general sense that needs calling out or something.
I was a part of the DFS vs RoCo discussion, I certainly hope the KL group doesn’t believe DFS to be better than him. If they do, I got nothing for that take, the careers speak for themselves.
