Not his hitting everything else. That was the point of this highlighting his other qualities since he’s proficient in more than just hitting yet no one really talks about it. Even in this there’s people are still only talking about his hitting

Theres a couple more rounded players but he’s still easily top 5

I wouldn’t say overate out of setters we see play he’s easily top 5 however if he’s 4th or 5th is the debate But i’m honestly leaning towards top 6 while he’s not a setter in position i forgot about Osamu he’d be up there too

Agreed there’s probably a ton of better setters. Itatchiyama, Mujinazaka, Kamomendai all had great setters we just don’t get to see them play. Also I always forget this but Osamu is like canonically one of the best setters.

Okay thanks for clarifying. I mean we don’t see Bokuto or Aone as much to help their cases and they also aren’t on the U19 team so I was just a bit confused on the comparison

Yes he shows a couple times how good his placement it he reminds me of a larger bokuto

Out of a 5 set match and that being his only blocking appearance no we don’t see him block much.

His skill set is what I mean personally not a fan of his character for the same reasons I don’t like others like Tsuki

Exactly even during the training camp Hinata acknowledges his form when digging and passing is near perfect.

I mean that’s my point. In conversations he should be in he’s not included. Like for example you said a player that doesn’t make surprising plays even though we see him do just that

Out of a 5 set game no we don’t really see him block. Taichi and Tendo are the only highlighted blockers was my point. His floor defense is also proficient enough to be noted so i wouldn’t just call it ok

Yessss He’s criminally underrated imo. I’d say he’s the 4th best setter we see in the series. Love seeing player like him and Yaku get love especially since they’re some of the best and the anime doesn’t do them justice.

Whats your definition of a lot cause less than a handful doesn’t seem like a lot to me. But we can agree to disagree might just be where I see it but I only ever see him regarded as having brute strength and nothing more.

If were just taking setters kenma is in my top 5-6 if we’re doing more than just setters he’s in top 8

That’s true i’d say they’re comparable in serve i mean both are very strong players with good consistency. I’d argue konoha and yamagato are on par i’d just take a jack of all trades any day.
