rank your top 5 most disappointing players this year based on your preseason expectations, excluding mann/grant for injury reasons

1. vasa
2. green
3. salaun
4. miller
5. nsj

1. Salaun (look I know he’s 19 and raw and all but holy **** . 31% from the field and looking completely lost with zero control over the game of basketball? For the #6 pick? Show me another player who has been this lost on an NBA court and gone onto success. Just one.)
2. Green (Mr. 3 shots per game. A wallflower who doesn’t offer anything other than corner 3s. His defense is super overrated as well. Spend 2 minutes watching him go around screens next game and tell me I’m wrong)
3. Micic (legitimately kills us every second he’s out there. He doesn’t even have BBiQ he legit plays with no vision or composure. Terrible)
4/5. Miller/Melo - both have drank the Lee kool aid and are chucking 3s above all else. Both are getting dumber and weaker. It is really alarming to see them both go backwards considering the last coach was Steve clifford. Melo isn’t controlling pace at all half the time he’s just chucking threes

Most disappointing through 37 games based off preseason expectations:
1. Micic by a mile, so disappointing.
2. Green- not necessarily his fault, expected a 5th starter that would be the best of Cody plus something extra
3. Miles-much improved lately, but still.
4. Miller, I guess
5. Richards, felt like some effort was lacking.

Had no expectations for Cody, LaMelo, or Mark, but was hopeful for health. No expectations for the rookies. I would probably be disappointed to know we only had 9 wins at this point in the season, but would be intrigued that I've already watched more games so far than the previous two seasons combined.

Hard to be too disappointed by a 19 year old.

Hornets 5th, with the Nets 6th.

The Nets have lost more games than Charlotte. 29 games and tanking hard.

Brooklyn has 4 more wins, but I can see us swapping places with them.

The Blazers won last night, and they can't move their win-now players on big contracts like Ayton, Grant, and to a lesser extent Simons, Thybulle, and Robert Williams III. Scoot is improving. Sharpe is gaining experience with him. They also have Avdija and Camara.

I don't see a world where we fall past the Nets, but we still may swap with them and end up 6 worst case scenario.

Puts us in a bad spot for the prospects we're dreaming on.

[MasterIchiro]

If we finish 6th (with Nets tanking past us) we have a 37.2% shot at top 4 and only 9% for Flagg.

You finally on the Flagg #1 pick bandwagon?

Still would love Harper don't get me wrong, but if we picking #1 we have to go Flagg. He's made me a believer during this stretch.

No, I'm just conceding what the Hornets would do. I would still select Harper over him. Totally still reminds me of Harden.
