New Orleans Pelicans defense and lack of contributions by several reserves highlight early season disappointments

Who or what has been the most disappointing aspect through the first 28 games?

It’s not so much a disappointment because I know he’s incredibly raw, but I was hoping Cheick Diallo would have been ready to be a more consistent contributor. It’s no knock on him, he’s barely played basketball and is basically an athletic freak blank canvas for this staff to mold. I just really wanted him to be impactful to lessen the strain on our starting bigs because Omer Asik and Alexis Ajinca never fit the mold — even when healthy.
