2. Which player has been the biggest disappointment so far this year? 

Chris:

Ryan Anderson sadly. I’m probably the biggest Ryno fan there is and seeing him struggle to shoot consistently like this is just painful. I really hope he can turn it around.

Rick: Ryan Anderson seems like easy pickings, so instead I’ll go with Omer Asik. Look, he wasn’t expected to solve all the Pelicans problems, yet he hasn’t necessarily solved the problems he was brought in for. The interior defense has been suspect in games and his offensive game just hasn’t gotten any better from being grotesque. It’s painful to watch him play basketball. That’s disappointing in itself.

Matt: Ryan Anderson. Ryno is shooting just 41 percent from the field this season and 34.2 percent from three but on the road it has been horrific. Anderson is shooting just 35.4 percent from the field and 27.1 percent from three away from the Smoothie King Center. He was supposed to be one of the core six guys this year and instead has been a disaster at points.

Andrew: Ryan Anderson without a doubt. He has been pitiful from behind the arc, and this team desperately needs some floor spacing that they are not getting. Right now the most legitimate three-point threat that this team has is Jrue Holiday.
