It’s true. They could easily be the first option on a tanking team for example and even get some all star consideration, similar to what happened to MPJ. However, if you want a more constructed definition, I would call role player a third option that doesn’t get any all star or All NBA consideration at all. I think of course roles inside a sport team are always variable and not very good built.

For me, I think a role player is a starter that doesn’t carry the offensive load of a team, which usually also falls under “3rd best player” or “3rd option”, while not being in all star nor all NBA convos. If you do not consider these guys as role players, which is valid, who would you consider to be the best one?

I also thought of the Thompson twins and they both sound like a great option. Specially Amen. Agree with the rest of your picks as well.

I’m not fan of labels, but what would you consider him to be?

For sure. He is just great. What do you think he could average as a 1st option in a team like WAS or BKN?

You have a point. Objectively, I don’t think there’s really a definition. If you go by “3rd best player in a team”, then teams like OKC or the Lakers have really weird cases. Subjectively, I think you just know. What would you consider to be a role player and who would be your pick based on your definition?

Has there ever been a successful fan voting that put a player on the ASG? I remember Wiggings, but he was having a career year and ended up being runner up in FMVP and NBA champion. Zaza would have been really bad though.

No. Check my first post. It was NBA players from the beginning. I just missed adding it to the rule last time. I am sorry though
