Let's just give Darvin Ham the benefit of a doubt for now, I know he is somehow inexperienced when it comes to being a head coach but all coaches who became a head coach started the same stage as with Coach Darvin's situation now. The whole management surely thought of this hard and the fact that they picked Darvin as the new head coach really means something.
About Darvin Ham, I heard that he's also keen to keep Westbrook in the roster as he's willing to give Westbrook a 2nd chance to prove his worth and he also said that he could bring something out of Westbrook which Vogel didn't. Anyway, let's see!
Yes, it's not like every coach is a veteran when they came in.
I like his attack, he's already optimistic about what he can do with Westbrook. A new plan from a new head coach and maybe he really have something up in his sleeves.
The difference with Coach Vogel maybe because he was a defensive coach and WB is not. That's a player who is most likely better with Coach Mike D'Antoni who plays small ball speed offense. Run and gun.
Darvin Ham should also learn how to keep LeBron under him because we know that the King can climb up the ladder if he don't like how the coach moves, I knew that Darvin have already some plans to keep LeBron and Westbrook and restore the chemistry that has been missing because of what happened last season.
Vogel made a lot of mistakes throughout the season because he didn't expose the big players too often and only let them play when its needed and often use Westbrook even if he's not producing any good, Darvin may have some say about that but he doesn't have much voice as Vogel has the last decision that time. Now, we will see what Darvin could do.
