    Who do you think has been the biggest dissapointment for week 1? IMO the obvious choice is Randy Foye. The guy has been considered a huge ROY candidate the whole offseason and until today he hadn't even scored a basket yet. I'm sure he'll get more oppurtunities as the season goes on but he sure has been a dud so far.

    I don't think you can be a dissapointment really when you don't get much playing time. I mean it has to be tough for a rookie combo guard to come in and get minutes right away behind Ricky Davis and Mike James, let alone three other veteran guards (Hudson, Jaric, Hassell). I think he's going to be an excellent player though, and if he ends up getting minutes I still have him as a top ROY candidate.I would say Shelden Williams. He's played 56 minutes and he's started all 3 games, but he has 4 points total, and he only had one good rebounding night. He needs to really buckle down and play better. It's too early to say anything though, but considering where he was picked and considering how solid he played in preseason, I think 1 point and 4-5 rebounds per night so far is dissapointing for the #5 overall pick. I do think he will bounce back though.

    Ronnie Brewer and Paul Milsap, I thought both would be key guys for the Jazz. but like Foye they're burried behind veterans.

    Rudy Gay, Craig Smith, Brandon Roy, Adam Morrison, Rajon Rondo, Marcus Williams, Thabo Sefolosha, Jordan Famar have all played well... Most of the other guys are in situations where they are not playing.

    Alotve rookies are just getting the rookie treatmeant. If Lowry got starter minutes, he would produce very well. Just alotve coaches feel more comfortable with the vets.

    I definitely think that Casey is an idiot for giving Jaric more PT than Foye...
