Where does Russell Westbrook go from here?

[Reggie]

Still a place for him as an energizer off the bench who can change the tempo of the game. If he's content with that then someone will pick him up.

He's still got his athleticism, which is rare for a guy his age and who played 100mph like he has. He can fit a team as a backup PG and take it serious on the defensive end.

He used to have that middy on lock... how the f*ck do you lose your jumpshot?

fukk a jumper look at his FTs

Would be a solid backup guard on the Mavs

No he wouldn't. He would be unplayable cuz he can't shoot.

Y'all just say stuff

 

[Standing on business]

He’s still athletic but his touch is non existent. I don’t understand why more players don’t pull a J Kidd and focus solely on spot up threes the latter part of their careers. Spot up 3 point shooters are needed now more than ever.

I'm a bit confused by your post. Russell Westbrook is still explosive and athletic and can contribute

Did u watch a young Russell Westbrook? No one could stay in front of him. He was the top athlete in the league. He keyon fooling status now u sound crazy. He 36 years old bruh cats can stay in front of him and push him to his worst spots. Have u watched him in his thunder days vs the past 4 seasons?

He's never been that consistent of a midrange shooter, it's just he took a lot of them so it became his image.

His prime was basically 2011-2020. In that time, he varied from 33% to 44% from 10-16 feet. In his best years 2012-2018, he shot 40%, 40%, 44%, 40%, 43%, 43%, 38%.

From 16-23 feet over the same period, he varied from 35% to 44%. Those 2012-2018 years he was 44%, 39%, 42%, 36%, 39%, 35%.



So he in terms of straight #'s, he was a capable midrange shooter but not an elite or consistent one, even at his absolute prime.

You're right about that, his FTs fukking cratered.

to the driving academy to get his CDL

Russ doesn't fit on a contending team nor a young team. What he needs is a team that is content competing for the play in tourney and wants a big name.

Nets, Bulls... come on down.

Wizards are gonna lose Tyrus Jones, so they'll need a starting point guard.


Westbrook - Poole - Kuzma would be must-see television. They could probably get Christian Wood from the Lakers too to fill them out inside.

Yeah forgot about them, going back to the Wizards would be comedy

I @Slaimon Khan Shah always chose Kevin Durant over Russell Westbrook in NBA 2K video games!
