Most disappointing player this season?

On Nuggets, Shelden Williams... I think he's a much better rebounder than he thinks he is. He started the season great... then he fell off. Still rebounding 4-5 a game in his limited minutes, but he's more like an automatic 10 rpg guy.

 

Part of it is Karl choosing to play Al, Birdman over him... when he knows those guys are not going to do much rebounding... but biggest blame is on Shelden himself, once his minutes get cut, he lets himself to believe he's an ordinary role player, instead of a player who is still figuring it out and can be a star.

 

Aside of rebounding, Shelden has good hands and can catch any kind of pass, unlike most big stiffs. He can score on the post, 15-20 foot game. In fact, I trust his mid-range jumper more than Nene's.

Brook Lopez is definitely one for me. JJ Hickson has been a personal disappointment as well for me, he looked awesome in the summer league but looks like an absolute scrub in the NBA so far. Chris Bosh has been a disappointment as well, I felt like Miami was his chance to shine and show the world how good he has been, but he has just really become a glorified role player and doesn't even rebound anymore.

Did you really expect more than 18/8 on 50%+ shooting from a 3rd option? His rebounding's been a little disappointing, but his defense is much improved (although he got spanked by Aldridge a few days ago). He's also been consistently hitting clutch shots, and when he gets his opportunities he's taking advantage of iso situations.

For me the biggest disappointment has to be Brook Lopez. I was expecting him to have a huge season, but he sucks. Especially on defense. He's not doing good work and is not a good rebounder. Second disappointment is Steve Blake.. yeah he makes some good passes but these open threes need to go in for LA land
