2016 Mid-Season Fantasy Basketball Disappointments

2016 Mid-Season Fantasy Basketball Disappointments

We could not always get what we want, that’s a given, but sometimes expectations do hurt. These 5 guys probably did not do your fantasy feelings any favor.
Here are this mid-season’s fantasy basketball disappointments:

Players do play extra hard on contract years and one they sign contracts, that’s another story. Sometimes. Such as the case with Green, who was one of the NBA’s top shooters and feared perimeter defenders as far back as 2015. All his numbers are down from across the board and his net rating is the lowest since his second NBA season.
2014-15 averages: 11.7 points, 4.2 rebounds, 2.0 assists, 1.2 steals, 1.1 blocks, 2.4 3PM
2015-16 averages: 7.0 points, 3.7 rebounds, 1.8 assists, 0.8 steals, 0.7 blocks, 1.5 3PM

Kyle Korver, SF, Atlanta Hawks


Judging by the numbers alone, Kyle Korver is unrecognizable. All the stats that made him to what he is are all but gone– even the FT% is down around EIGHT percentage points. More bad news is that, Korver exhibits no signs of life. He is even worse the last 15 days, averaging only 7.3 points on 34.6 percent shooting.
So much for someone who have flirted on being 50-50-90 guy a season before.
2014-15 averages: 12.1 points, 4.1 rebounds, 2.6 assists, 0.7 steals, 0.6 blocks, 2.9 3PM, .487 FG%
2015-16 averages: 9.2 points, 3.5 rebounds, 2.1 assists, 0.8 steals, 0.4 blocks, 1.9, 3PM, .418 FG%

Ty Lawson, PG, Houston Rockets


To give you an idea of how much Lawson’s production has dwindled, think the Lance Stephenson from Indiana to Charlotte variety. From a lead guy that was constantly among the league leaders in assists, Lawson has been reduced to just another body at that Rockets bench.
2014-15 averages: 15.2 points, 3.1 rebounds, 9.6 assists, 1.2 steals
2015-16 averages: 6.5 points, 1.9 rebounds, 3.8 assists, 0.9 steals

Anthony Davis, PF/C, New Orleans Pelicans
