The 2016-17 NBA season offered some of the best basketball we've seen in modern history — but it was far from perfect. Either due to unfair expectations, injury, or a monster dose of regression, some of the Association's biggest names came up short this season. Here are the seven players who disappointed us the most in 2016-17 (not including the young Los Angeles Lakers, because honestly, that wouldn't be fair).
Dwight Howard, Atlanta Hawks
Chandler Parsons, Memphis Grizzlies
Kristaps Porzingis, New York Knicks
Victor Oladipo, Oklahoma City Thunder
DeMarcus Cousins, New Orleans Pelicans
Andre Drummond, Detroit Pistons
Blake Griffin, Los Angeles Clippers

Dwight hasn't been that bad though...

If Dwight's been a disappointment, then someone was vastly overrating him. He's actually played better than I thought he would.

5/7 are big men... coincidence?

Dipo? He was right on his career average in scoring, and posted career highs in almost every shooting category.

Oladipo needed to be the Thunder 6th man. He has been reduced to a spot up shooter. His talent with the ball in his hand and slashing to the basket has been hurt by playing aside another guard who needs the ball and 3 other players who don't stretch the floor.

I few bad for Porzingis. I don't watch the Knicks, but it has to be tough for him to progress in that situation and he really didn't have a bad year

What we got instead was a team that struggled when Cousins and Davis were on the court together yet flourished when one or the other flew solo.
I feel like most of the national sports media watched the first 6-7 games after the trade, formed their opinion and stopped watching right when the two started to figure out how to play together, started posting great net ratings when sharing the court, and winning games. Oh well.

The section about Boogie is piss poor. Zero numbers to back up the claims the author makes. It looks more like he's attributing his feeling as fact and saying that Boogie in NO failed because they didn't tear the league a new one from day one.

Doesn't make sense....

I was certain Al Horford would be listed here.

Why is Blake Griffin on this list? I'd say his year has been better than disappointing not including injuries.

Vucevic for the majority of the season.

I don't know what kind of insane expectations it'd take to think Porzingis was a disappointment this season. He improved in basically every category from last year.
I can agree with Drummond being on that list. He's really stagnated since his role on the team expanded a couple of years ago. He's still terribly inefficient largely because of his awful free throw shooting. He's somehow an awful defender in spite of his physical gifts and, perhaps most frustratingly, doesn't appear to be putting much effort into being better on that end.
