16 Most underrated and overrated Heat rivals heading into the 2024-25 NBA season

4 of 8

Underrated: Kelly Oubre Jr.

With the Philadelphia 76ers undergoing a significant roster transformation, they need to retain Kelly Oubre Jr. Despite not meeting expectations during his time with the Charlotte Hornets, he proved to be a valuable asset for the Sixers in the previous season.

Re-signing him would provide the necessary flexibility for the team as they prepare for the upcoming season. Given the limited recognition he has received across the league in recent years, Oubre Jr. should be regarded as one of the most underrated players in the NBA.

Overrated: Caleb Martin

In recent seasons, it appears that any mid-tier free agent departing from the Miami Heat has been perceived as an overrated player by their new fan base. Recently, this has applied to players such as Kendrick Nunn, Gabe Vincent, and to some degree, Max Strus.

One cannot help but speculate whether Caleb Martin might be the next individual to experience this phenomenon, having signed with the Philadelphia 76ers this past summer. It remains to be seen if Philadelphia can break this trend, but it is certainly a situation worth monitoring as the Sixers approach a crucial season.
