I'm specifically disappointed in Jeremy Lamb. I remember watching his Summer League games and thinking to myself "wow, this kid might actually have some potential." But now he's averaging 2.1 ppg and has been sent to the Tulsa 66ers.
What are your thoughts?
Which 2012 NBA Rookies have disappointed you?

No rookie on my team has disappointed me. Matter of fact all our rookies are playing great in their roles. Harrison Barnes has been underperforming lately but he is still a great player. Draymond Green plays nice defense off the bench. Festus Ezeli has been a great replacement for Bogut and is performing above expectations, especially since he was the 30th pick.

Thomas Robinson. He was my pick to win Rookie of the Year outside of Damian Lillard.

Well... about 58 guys.
I've only been impressed with Lillard and Davis (who is injured).
Everyone else is playing like a... well... rookie.

Averaging 5.4 points and 5.0 rebounds per game in 18 minutes. His last ten games he's having 6.8 points and 5.4 boards in the same amount of minutes. Honestly, if this guy becomes a key player on our team later on and plays the way he's capable of he could easily be an 18/12 guy in my opinion (that is, if he plays around 30 minutes).He struggled at the beginning, lately he has played pretty good.

I don't see why you would be dissapointed in Lamb. He never got many minutes anyway.

The biggest disappointment has to be Bradley Beal. He came in with a lot of expectations and has yet to live up the them.
Players like Harrison Barnes and Thomas Robinson have underperformed as well but I didn't have a lot of expectation for them to begin with. And Jonas Valanciunas also can't seem to get it going.
I agree in some way. But MKG has been great. His stats don't wow you but still, his infuence on the 'Cats can't be underestimated. I've also liked the play of Andre Drummond and that of Alexey Shved.

I've just been so impressed with Lillard. He reminds me of Steve Francis, but if Stevie was more of a teammate and didn't just use athleticism for everything. I wish Davis would return because I was really enjoying watching him.
MKG has been low key in stats, but his contributions as a teammate and defensively has helped changed the culture of the Cats. He's been an outstanding player even if broadly looking at his numbers makes people think otherwise for a #2 pick (those shooting % are nice). Drummond is going to be one of those guys that college just wasn't for him. He's going to be a handful if he builds a healthy competitive attitude. I already gave Shved a B+ in Dr. Wolf's thread.
I will say that I'm a bit more disappointed with this draft because I did expect it to have a little bit more contributors.
I just think back... at one point Perry Jones would've been the #2-5 pick a draft earlier. Ouch.

Nobody is really dissappointing me expect for Dion Waiters FG% otherwise he is good.
Others are saying Beal but I never had high expectations for him he is young though he could just be a late bloomer.

I've been unimpressed with Bradley Beal. He's had a couple of good games but hasn't been doing well overall. Only bright side is that he hasn't been playing with a legit PG and he might do better once John Wall comes back.
