With the NBA regular season close to being a month old, let’s take a look at some players who are off to disappointing starts so far.
Players who have been disappointed due to injury are not included, it’s just those who haven’t performed up to expectations yet. Rookies were not considered as well.
Eric Bledsoe, Pelicans
Acquired by the Pelicans this offseason, it wouldn’t have surprised anyone if Bledsoe saw more of a role in New Orleans now that he was outside Giannis Antetokounmpo’s shadow. Instead, his 11.3 points and 4.1 assists per contest so far are his lowest since the 2012-13 season.

Devonte’ Graham, Hornets
Not only is Graham’s 30.1 percent shooting from the field atrocious, he is shooting an unsightly 27.9 percent from inside the three-point arc. He does own an impressive near 5-to-1 assist-to-turnover ratio though which is 11th-best in the league according to NBA Team Rankings.
LaMelo Ball, Devonte Graham and Terry Rozier together is new wrinkle. https://t.co/PrVFdiemIa
