Most notably, was Jimmy Butler came in tied for second with 6.3-percent of the vote for "most overrated player." Butler, ironically, had the same percentage as former teammates Andrew Wiggins and Karl-Anthony Towns. Ben Simmons came in tied for third in the "most overrated" category with James Harden, LeBron James, and Kyle Lowry all receiving 4.2-percent of the vote.
The leaders in the clubhouse were Russell Westbrook and Draymond Green with 17-percent.
On the positive side of things, Joel Embiid came in third when players were asked, "You're building a roster from scratch: Who are you signing first?" Embiid received 8.8-percent of the vote, behind only Anthony Davis (10.4-percent) and Giannis Antetokounmpo (36.4-percent).
Tobias Harris received 2.5-percent of the vote for most underrated player. Jrue Holiday won that category with 16.3-percent of the vote.
Simmons also received a vote best ball handler, most underrated, and talking the most trash. It's not surprising Simmons would be on the most overrated and most underrated list. He is certainly one of the most polarizing athletes in Philadelphia, if not the country, simply because his incredible physical gifts combined with his inability to shoot the basketball.
Mike Scott, Boban Marjanovic, and Embiid all received votes for players you don't want to fight. Mike Scott should have won this category.
