The state is simply ridiculously bad! What happened to the Pelicans backup backcourt general?

In the previous NBA regular season, the Oklahoma City Thunder at home defeated the New Orleans Pelicans 137-106. After this game, the Thunder, who had won 7 consecutive games, improved their record to 7-0, ranking first in the Western Conference; while the Pelicans, who suffered a 6-game losing streak, saw their record drop to 0-6, continuing to rank at the bottom of the Western Conference.

In this game, the performance of Pelicans' backup point guard Jose Alvarado was still a mess, and he still failed to make any improvement. Alvarado played 18 minutes and 10 seconds, shooting 1 of 3 from the field and 1 of 2 from beyond the three-point line. He had 3 points, 2 rebounds, 2 assists and 1 steal. He also had 2 fouls, with a plus-minus of -12. Alvarado's presence on the offensive end is very limited. His scoring ability, organization and connection skills have not been fully utilized, and his contribution is also seriously insufficient. Not only that, Alvarado's performance on the defensive end was also very average, and he also did not have very good results. Alvarado's performance on both ends of the offense and defense was very disappointing. The team's situation was a mess when he was on the court. He did not show any competitiveness at all, which also led to the injuries to the team's second team and the team's disastrous defeat to a certain extent.

In the NBA regular season last season, Alvarado was affected by injuries and played a total of 56 games, averaging 24.4 minutes per game and averaging 10. 3 points, 2.4 rebounds, 4.6 assists, 1.3 steals, 0.2 blocks, 1.5 turnovers and 1.6 fouls. The shooting percentage was 39.2%, the three-point shooting percentage was 35.9%, and the free throw percentage was 81.1%. In this summer's Men's Basketball America's Cup, Alvarado played a total of 4 times, averaging 30.2 minutes per game. He averaged 17.8 points, 3 rebounds, 4.5 assists, and 2.3 steals per game. He also had 2.8 turnovers and 1.8 fouls. He shot 44.3% from the field, 38.2% from the three-point range, and 40% from the free throw line. Since the start of this season, Alvarado has played a total of 5 times in the first 6 games, averaging 14.8 minutes per game, averaging 3 points, 1.8 rebounds, 1.2 assists and 1 steal, 0.4 turnovers and 1 foul, shooting 29.4% from the field, 30.8% from the three-point range, and 50% from the free throw line.

It has to be said that Alvarado's performance so far this season has been outrageous. His offensive efficiency is a mess, his scoring performance is extremely poor, and his contribution on the defensive end has also declined. He is simply useless on the court. Last summer, the Pelicans reached an early contract extension with Alvarado. Alvarado received a two-year contract from the team with a total amount of $9 million, of which the second year of the contract was a player option. Alvarado's new contract this season has just begun. However, judging from this series of performances, this contract can be regarded as a garbage contract to the naked eye. If you bring in any player with a minimum salary, their performance cannot be worse than Alvarado. We don’t know what happened to Alvarado. Why did his condition decline so obviously?
