The Los Angeles Lakers are over a third of the way through the 2020-21 season and are currently in second place in the Western Conference with a 19-6 record. For the most part, this has been a really solid start for the Lake Show.

It has not been perfect but that was expected. The Lakers are coming off of the shortest offseason in American sports history, and while they added fresh new blood, the two stars in LeBron James and Anthony Davis have to be monitored.

LeBron is playing at an MVP level and has not missed a single game this season. AD has missed a handful of games and his numbers have been worse than what we expect from him.

He does not classify as a disappointment, though. We all knew coming into the season that the stars in LA would be limited. He will turn it around.

However, there have been some disappointments for the Los Angeles Lakers thus far this season.

This does not mean that these players have been terrible this season, it just means that they have fallen short of expectations.

There is plenty of time to turn it around and this is not indicative of the season as a whole. In no particular order, here are the three Lakers that have been the most disappointing this season.
