Cleveland Cavaliers: Kyrie Irving
He’s a phenomenal individual player, but basketball in the NBA is a team game. He hasn’t learned to be a point guard even though he plays the point guard position.
He doesn’t make his teammates better, which is why he’s on the list. Last year, he only averaged six assists per game and he finished with a disappointing seven double-doubles in the 71 games played.
Since he’s been in Cleveland, they’ve never been close to making the playoffs. LeBron will bail him out this year, though.
