Ben Simmons
Ben Simmons' Rookie of the Year award and three All-Star selections obscure a fundamental flaw: he shot just 13.9% from three-point range over his career, the lowest among any All-Star in the past 20 years. In the 2021 playoffs, his free-throw percentage fell to 33%, causing a mental collapse that led to one of the worst single-game playoff performances ever by a top-10 pick. Compared to the average starting point guard, Simmons' scoring volume (15.9 points per game) is 35% lower, and his sit-out over a trade demand cost him an entire season at age 26, making him the most overrated defender on this list.
