Carmelo Anthony is NBA's 'Most Overrated' Player, Says Bucks' Jared Dudley

Jared Dudley reportedly considers Carmelo Anthony the most overrated player, while he thinks Zach Randolph is the most underrated star in the NBA.

The Milwaukee Bucks forward had an interview on "The Herd with Colin Cowherd" on ESPN on Wednesday, May 27, 2015 to share his thoughts on a number of NBA stars, CBS Sports reported. 

"I would say Carmelo [Anthony of the New York Knicks]," said Dudley when asked by host Cowherd who he thought was the most overrated NBA player, according to New York Post.

"He has the talent to be able to [facilitate]. The triangle should fit him. He's gotta make guys better, and defensively, you know what, he's gotta [go to the next level]. He's gotta get out of the first and second round. He's gotta get this team to the playoffs. LeBron [James] with that roster would have gotten to the playoffs. They would have been at least an 8 seed. He's not LeBron, but he doesn't have to be," Dudley explained. He added that Carmelo also needs to close the gap a little.

"The reason why I say Carmelo is because Carmelo is viewed as a top-five player. He's viewed in the NBA as a top-five," he also said. [See the entire video below.]

He also emphasized how Zach Randolph of the Memphis Grizzlies is the most underrated star on the court. "Zach's an animal. [He averages] 20 [points] and 10 [rebounds] [in his] career," Dudley commented.

CBS Sports revealed that during the interview, Dudley also talked about Kobe Bryant and Kevin Love. He said that opposite to Jordan, Kobe wishes to show everyone a lot, even when he is injured. He commented about Kobe shooting and passing too much and that it may be time to give up. He thought that a lot of players no longer wants to play with the Lakers veteran.

"Remember, Kobe gets in this thing where he doesn't pass and then he overpasses and he's trying to get triple doubles ever night, so we know you have it, it's just not something he wants to do, and that's why I think it'll be a while before the Lakers can get good..." he said in the interview.

He also noted that Love would confirm criticisms if he left the Cleveland Cavaliers when he hits free agency. He also complimented James Harden because he involves the other shooters in the Houston Rockets.

Later, Dudley followed up a tweet to elaborate his description of Carmelo Anthony.
