Westbrook is 33 years old already and near to past his prime. He is athletic I agree with that and yes he is one of the most athletic and most explosive guards in the NBA. The problem is that, he doesn't fit with the system.
I agree with this one. Westbrook does not have the same explosiveness that he have before. He is still very athletic compare to others but the explosiveness that he needs to drive into the basket is simply lacking now. He cannot run as fast or jump as high as before.
... Same situation here but this time it's 3 of them. I don't know but LBJ and Russ kinda have the same way of playing. Scoring and passing and maybe that is also a reason why we don't see any chemistry with the team. No one wants to make adjustment for the betterment of the team and look how they played this whole season.
This must be a unpopular opinion but I think the one that needs to adjust is Lebron. Since he is the one who brought WB into the team, he should let WB play to his natural position. Anyway, Lebron can play all positions, except may be as center, because of his skill, talent and athleticism. WB can drive, can be a good PG but what he cannot do is to consistently shoot. He have poor shooting average. If Lebron can give way and let WB be point guard and Lebron can be the receiving end for the outside shooting. Maybe they could fair better. I am not confident though if they have not tried this set up last season.
