    I'd have to say Rose. I guess the Chris Paul comparisons have been been a bit premature, although I'm not too sure how much his ankle injury is holding him back.

    Then I have to say Michael Beasley. For all the hype he got, his play has been, well, average at best. Not much improvement, if any, from last season.

    Howard is only average about 33 minutes a game. They have an excellent reserve center in Gortat. No need to leave him on the floor for 40 minutes a night. No one is saying he is better than Yao. The two are very difficult to compare, especially statistically.

    Chill man. Although I thought the statement he made wasn't too smart, never wish any harm to anyone.

    Its basically his mother because she raised him. Its not like he's ruined, he's just going through some things right now. They're paid pro's, but they're still humans last i checked.

    Al Jefferson is a beast but I didnt expect him to return to old form that fast from an ACL tear.


    Thabeet is out with a broken jaw if I'm not mistaken. He did get off to a slow start though.

    The entire Portland TrailBlazers are big disappointment to me.
    Darko Milicic - Where is this guy now? If you can get playing time in the Knicks, your career is done!

    Because they actually have a good center in Gasol?

    And he isn't exactly doing too bad. His blocking isn't bad at all, he's averaging nearly a block and around 5 rebounds per 15~ minutes.

    Just too bad not many people look at stats based on x amount of minutes. It's about the whole game (48 minutes).

    I agree that Gasol is playing extremely well, but I'd at least expect Thabeet to get some decent minutes and stats.

    It's also probably why he would be considered a "disappointment" so early, being one of the rare rookies that hasn't been given the time to shine.

    Speaking of which, I'd say Blake Griffin would fall into that category as well.

    David Kahn. Instantly became my most hated man associated with the NBA when he Bogarted Rubio away from all the world. That man is a living grinch, delighting upon the loss of us all; and he hurt his team in the process! Why couldn't just draft at a position of need...or just not make the trade for the extra pick?

    Also: Emeka Okafor. I thought with Chris Paul at his side his numbers would go up 150% the way David West and Chandler had it. But it turns out Okafor is one of those guys no one can help. He just does his thing and shuts the rest out of his mind.

    Griffin hasn't even had a chance to play yet. Thabeet is able to play.
