| He's a natural SF and half of the games in '10 he actually played at SF. Why is he overrated? In his position(SF)he rarely gets ranked in the top 5 or even top 6-8 and most people have Caron "old" Butler over him while its clearly that Butler doesn't have it anymore.
Another ex. is Danny Granger who is probably in everyone's top 5 SF list's. How is Iggy overrated when Granger gets ranked higher than him? Granger and Iggy are probably in the same situation and play like franchise players while they are great supporting players. Granger has over Iggy only scoring and Iggy can score when he wants. Iggy is better defender(overall), rebounder and probably better passer. They are even perimeter defenders and they block shots about the same. Not to mention FG pct, but it's normal cuz Iggy drives more. And don't come up with BS like "he can't shoot", "rondo is better shooter than him,haha" etc because he has a solid 40.5% from mid(actually better than melo) and 31% behind the arc. And in '09 he had 2 game-winers, one 3pointer one 2pointer.
Think again.
And btw, in what is he actually overrated? |

| Yes, the only difference really between Granger and Iggy is that Granger can score better. But HOW MUCH better? Iggy averaged 17 PPG. Granger averaged 24 while shooting way better from 3P and the FT line (Iggy has FG% on Granger) No way is Iggy anywhere close to Melo in terms of midrange shooting. Iguodala is an EXTREMELY streaky shooter who really isn't lights out from anywhere except the rim. Carmelo is one of the league's best at taking people from midrange. 2 gamewinners out of 82 games is about 2% of games, so hitting a game winner in 2% of the games really isn't anything to use for Iggy's defense in shooting. Lebron can even hit longer shots in the clutch than regular. I call him overrated because of people saying how he's an easy top 5 SF and how he's really so good. You have to be something special in this league to get away with not being able to shoot, and Iguodala just isn't something that special. Lebron, Durant, Carmelo, Pierce, Artest, Deng are all better SFs than Iguodala in my opinion. Not so much Butler... _________________  |

| I always forget about Wallace...lol yeah Wallace is in there too. Actually Wallace is probably the underrated one here. His shot isn't lights out, but he's a great defender and rebounder _________________  |

| Iggy isn't overrated...
I think for him to be overrated he'd have to talked about a lot and argued over a lot.
He gets neither.
He's a solid player and he contributes n multiple categories. But he isn't a consistant threat to score.
And he isn't a franchise player. He'd be a great sidekick if he ever gets a star player on his team or goes to a team with a star player, but really he's an above avg player and his biggest value is his versatility.
Unfortunately he's Philly's best player and thus has to act the role of the star. |

| He's a great player, not too overrated but a good mixture of underrated/overrated so somewhere in between. He definitely is a great rebounder, great defender, and a good passer at his position. Only thing that doesn't further his situation for underrated is his shot, and that he isn't a big threat on the scoring.
I think that he is really similar to Danny Granger, although Granger is a great shooter. Different from Gerald Wallace who is a much better defender and whose rebounding is amazing, but like Iggy he doesn't have a shot.
I would say overall, that Andre Iguodala isn't either underrated or overrated. For him to really be overrated he'd have to be talked about a lot, for him to be underrated he wouldn't have anybody talking about how good he is/or can be. Gerald Wallace is underrated for the position he plays, and Danny Granger is a little overrated.
I really agree with Nick C, on how he isn't a franchise player and would be better as sidekick on a star team. |
