4 Most Overhyped NBA Players Of 2018

Oklahoma City Thunder v Utah Jazz - Game Three
They may be Superstars but it doesn't stop them being overhyped

#2 Rajon Rondo

New Orleans Pelicans v Portland Trail Blazers - Game Two
The 32-year-old has just landed with the Lakers

Rondo is a player that comes alive in the playoffs. He often performs a Jekyll and Hyde act in the regular season as he can go from a world-beater to a bad basketball player in a matter of minutes. His stats look great on paper but often do not match up to his actual performance and influence on a game.

His recent $9 million contract with the Lakers means that he will take up a large chunk of salary whilst also limiting Lonzo Ball's progress. Lakers fans will hope that Rando is motivated to perform to his best ability all season long due to having LeBron James by his side.
