Goran Dragic’s struggles this season: what’s wrong with The Dragon?

Signed for $85 million this summer, Dragic has been a shell of himself so far this season. But why ?

Even though statistics and analytics don't tell the whole story most of the time (just look at Justise Winslow), Goran Dragic's numbers this season are not lying. After the first 9 games, The Dragon only averages 10.6 points and 4 assists per game on 42.4% shooting. Not good for a guy who played at an All-Star level two years ago and who is being paid like one today.

To be fair to him, there are mitigating factors that explain some of his struggles.
