Aldridge biggest disappointment in the NBA

[Public Defender]

Lists like this are frankly so arbitrary that they're hard to take seriously. Why doesn't Milicic appear anywhere on this list? Wasn't he chosen at the same point in the draft as Aldridge, yet is on the verge of playing his way out of the NBA entirely? Didn't Eddie Curry and Kwame Brown get chosen at the same point in the draft as LaMarcus? Those guys absolutely suck compared to the Blazers' starting power forward. And that's just talking about other guys who play frontcourt positions.

I have to confess, I do like Aldridge's game, but if there's one really disappointing stat, it's that he's had only 11 free throw attempts in the last six games. He's got to play in the paint a little more - especially with no other big with any kind of post moves as an alternative.

Uh, you don't see those guys because the list is about players not living up to their expectations this year. Or at least that's how I see it.

most of the guys on Eddie's list are, or have been, injured. From that respect I'm far more disappointed in Greg then LA. Why did he have to go off and suffer an injury??? How many I's in team?

LaMarcus hasn't set the world on fire this season, but he's also been sacrificing for his team and (of course) playing injured. Opinions and assholes... Eddie is entitled, but it's stupid list probably compiled to fill a deadline

LMA is only in the middle of the pack of those PF's listed on the current All Star ballot.

If he was traded to Toronto for Bosh - I'd be one of the happiest Blazer fans around!

I am a little disappointed in our man this year. Canzano makes some points. I didn't see a Canzano post about this yet
