Most Disappointing Player by Team?

nomansland · Post #21 » by **nomansland** » Tue Jan 9, 2024 9:22 pm

No way MPJ is the most disappointing player for the Nuggets. He's not always putting up massive numbers but he has become a great team player, trying to improve his game beyond 3 point shooting (successfully, mostly), rarely complains about his role, and is a solid contributor most nights despite box scores.

Unfortunately the most disappointing player is Zeke Nnaji. He was off the radar for most media people and casual fans but we wanted him to fill the 4/5 backup role and he's just not cutting it usually.

Kyle Anderson was never going to shoot 41% 3P again, but his 12% this season is very disappointing, which makes it tough to play him with Gobert. Wendell Moore Jr can’t seem to get it going. But I think the most disappointing player for the Timberwolves has probably been Shake Milton.

Shake was an important off-season acquisition because the Wolves needed the role filled ..back up playmaker and bench scorer. Chris Finch has given him every opportunity but he’s averaging FG .385, 3P .265, career worsts. He’s averaging just 5.1 PPG and suddenly his passing has failed him as well 1.4 APG to 0.9 TO. He’s on the edge of falling out of the rotation. Local news today is that he will likely be traded at the deadline, and he won’t mind getting a fresh start elsewhere.

In what way has Jrue Holiday been disappointing?

For the Knicks it's Fournier

How are giddy holiday & eric Gordon disappointing their play good and are just what they’re teams need them to do on the court

Mikal bridges is not who the nets think he is he’s came back down to earth he’s a 3&D role player at best

MPJ see bridges

Dame is basically the beal who play pg who plays no defense at all and he’s got some personal issues going on with his divorce ongoing thru out the season and he and Giannis don’t fit like holiday did

I wouldn't go as far as saying Jaden Ivey is the most disappointing Piston. That titles goes to our coach lol.

Sure he's 19/20 years old, but I think most expected him to be a sharpshooter off the bench for us.

Dick just couldn't rise and deliver when needed most.

It would be true if he was playing regularly.

Was he even given the opportunity to play though? but yes it shouldn't be Josh Hart.

Yeah, not at all. He's loved on the Nuggets and in Denver. Dude's been an amazing fit. Actually there's a little bit of a worry that if he declines the player option he could leave and get paid a lot more than his current deal.

Wiggins/Klay/Green. Take your pick

Same case with the Clippers where just about every player has been pretty good that you just have to pick one, maybe based on salary and expectations etc?

Yes which is why he isn't playing now, hence the disappointment

Hes not playing because of what a disappointment he was

Half the guys on this list aren’t even disappointing they’ve just been injured or are taking time to adjust to a new role.

Have to agree at minimum with Ayton on the Blazers though. It turns out there wasn’t some hidden untapped potential there that the Suns were holding back. He’s just a mediocre player whose effort waxes and wanes depending on the night.

AussieCeltic · Post #38 » by **AussieCeltic** » Tue Jan 9, 2024 10:19 pm

For the Celtics, I think it has to be Sam Hauser or Pritchard.

Both have been ok but haven’t quite taken the leap many of us thought they would.

I don’t know why they have Jrue there. He has been nothing short of fantastic. Sure his FG% could improve a bit, but the guy has been asked to go from a 3rd option to 5th option and has done it with no complaints at all.

Ben is what was expected, solid COD player

Bridges is huge disappointment

I've been most disappointed by Grimes because I was hoping he would take a step, but DDV came in shooting the ball better than he ever has before and Quentin kinda got lost in the shuffle before the trade. He's getting going now, and I won't be surprised if he's starting again by the playoffs, but atm he's my most disappointing Knick.

But I expected Hart's shooting to come back to earth, so he hasn't been really disappointing to me :dontknow:
