    Russ’ lack of self-awareness is his biggest problem. He refuses to change the way he plays the game. When you’re a part of an organisation like the Lakers who are “championship or bust” every season especially with LeBron on the team, you have to take accountability for your poor performances. Unfortunately, he doesn’t ever do that and his poor play demoralises the rest of his team.

    This is Russ' last chance to prove that he can still play. There is a real, legit chance that Westbrook could be out of the league next off-season, whether a trade from the Lakers happens or not.
    He could legit be the next Allen Iverson with the way his career is winding down. An unwillingness to accept a lesser role plus being oblivious to the fact that they are not what they used to be.
    With the way the first 3 games have gone, it's not looking promising.

    Westbrook's game has always been reliant on his physicality and explosiveness.
    Now he's lost it, his weaknesses are so much more aparent.
    I don't see him developing a jump shot or increasing his awareness overnight.
    That makes me think of Vince Carter, who became a really good three point shooter later in his career.
    But again, I can't imagine Westbrook having the commitment or even self analysis to do something like that.

    • @SCep34life
      @SCep34life ปีที่แล้ว +9

      Westbrook has never been held accountable by anyone over his career. When KD left, he ran the show and his poor care of the basketball(turnovers, forcing shots) was overlooked because casuals have a hard on for triple doubles.
      His ego is out of control, and you’re right, he doesn’t have the self awareness to understand how to actually play basketball. It was the biggest critique of his game out of college, and he still has the same habits 15 years later. If he slowed down and took care of the basketball, shoot, even if he just dished it out without playing 100 mph and made some off ball cuts, screens, etc, he’d be a good player. But he’s too stupid to understand that, and it doesn’t help that there’s tons of people out there who refuse to believe he is a problem

      Jason Kidd would be a far better comparison, IMO. He used to be called "Ason" because he had no jumper, he's a stat-stuffer like Westbrook, and yet he's made his way to the all-time 3 point list. Though I guess he's always had the awareness needed to adapt.

    I think one of the biggest issues with Westbrook rn is just the fact that he starts every season injured. This dates back to his last years in OKC, even his short stints in Houston and Washington. Idk why he continues to do this when you see a player like Dame who took an entire year off to seriously take care of himself, then comes back playing at the same MVP level. I guess there's just levels to committing to greatness.

      Draymond is a glue player. He won't be the best scorer, rebounder, passer, or (in his current age) even the best defender on most teams but he can guard all five positions, be a competent playmaker, and make energy plays that amp up his team. I can't think of any championship aspiring team that doesn't need a player like Draymond. If the critique were of Draymond's antics (the flailing, flopping, technicals/suspensions, etc.), it would be warranted but his play and contributions on the court are undeniable.

    I think you're a little harsh on Draymond Green's game. It's true his offensive game has deteriorated to at times unplayable on the court, but he's still a great passer, a great screener, and his synergy with Steph and Klay is unmatched. His defense is still superb. Having an effective Green on the court elevates both team offense and defense. The season just started and the Warriors are slacking on defense, as does he, but I expect that to turn around comes mid season. I fully expect him remain in Golden State beyond this season.

    Wastebrick needs some time to realize himself have to change his initial role. He’s no longer what he used to be. Here are some examples of players who didn’t realize the decline in themselves. Carmelo Anthony, for example, he was a superstar who could score 30 pts in a game if he wanted to, however, as he aged, he was not able to score in a efficient way and his defense was getting worse as well but he still thought himself a superstar, a team leader. Therefore, he couldn’t receive an offer even a minimum contract. After few seasons of the reflection, he came back to the court with a new mindset and he was willing to play as a role player in the team. Dwight Howard, another example, he’s been to lots of different teams after his failure in Los Angeles. He, however, still won a chip with the Lakers and he actually made a contribution to that lakers’ success. Wastebrick is at the situation where he haven’t known his decline. But I think he is more struggled than Melo and Dwight cuz he can’t hit the jumper and play good defense either.

    Athleticism is always the first thing to go. You see it with every player who uses their athleticism to their advantage, they don't really have any other game, that's the problem with Westbrook.

  • @hishamshokry6390
    @hishamshokry6390 ปีที่แล้ว +8

    hi Andy. nice video as usual.
    I agree about Dillon Brooks, he should focus on the court and helping his team instead of trash talking or talking in general.
    Draymond is Draymond, but he was and will always be a solid asset of the Warriors.
    Regarding Westbrook, he's finally defending!!! If the Lakers have good shooters, Russell should only worry about assists and defense. His ego is legendary, but if he was elsewhere (ie: not in L.A) he would have bounced back very early. Imagine everyone everywhere trash talking you on a daily basis, this will affect you for sure. We are talking about human beings not superman or a robot, so I hope the media and the so called analysts can give him some space and leave him alone.
    Finally, Simmons didn't arrive at Brooklyn as a top tier shooter, he came as a top defensive point forward. The problem with the Nets is the amazingly low contribution from their bench, check the 5 games stats. Also, the overall defense is .... let's say that I didn't see any proper defense except some efforts from Simmons himself.
    In addition, Simmons is still adjusting to the system, he has 2 ball dominant teammates in Durant and Kyrie, a underperforming bench and a team playing kind of chaotic basketball. And we should always remember that this guy is a big kid, somehow immature but with an amazing talent. He needs guidance and encouragement, and he hasn't found any yet, and Durant and Kyrie can't help him in this particular issue if you now what I mean.
    Let's say he is with the Spurs or the Warriors or the Raptors, the system and culture would have helped him to the extreme. But with the Nets, alongside Durant and Kyrie? With the current team? I'm afraid he'll get worse on a daily basis.
    Anyway, as a summary, Brooks is a liability who needs to shut up and help his team, Aquaman should smack him every now and then to keep him focused. Westbrook needs to lower his ego and neglect everything surrounding that got to his mind and focus on helping the team win, especially that his team is not promising and needs him badly.
    Simmons requires help, guidance and strong personalities around him or he will crash.
    Finally, no worries about Draymond or the Warriors, everything will be fine.
    Thanks Andy, and as always, see you next time with another good video.
    My Sincere Regards,

    It's kinda poetic to see the Nets crash and burn and having Ben Simmons on this roster is straight karma. The Nets downfall will be a celebration for Houston as they practically OWN Brooklyn's future thanks to that Harden trade. As for Draymond - it's safe to say that without Steph and Klay he's just another guy and the extensions on Poole and Andrew Wiggins pretty much sealed his fate at Golden State - if he wants to stay, he needs to take a huge pay cut and no other team will meet his salary demands. And then, there's Westbrook - a lost cause indeed. The worst of all for the Lakers is that they're stuck with him unless they want to gut their future even further by adding the 2027 and 2029 1st round picks (the only valuable thing the Lakers have apart from LeBron and AD, but even their trade value is sketchy due to age/health) in any trade package involving Westbrook (even if they do it for say Buddy Hield and Myles Turner, they won't win the championship anyway). Thus the Lakers have to concede that this season will be a wash and to wait for the next offseason when Westbrook's contract will be off their books anyway.

    Westbrook's struggles should not be a surprise to anyone. He has never been a good shooter, and has been terribly inconsistent for the most part of his career. The triple-double, as it is for everyone, is not always indicative of a efficient play. He proved me right when I was telling anyone who wanted to talk about Westbrook, that OKC would be better off with a classic point guard. OKCs record percentage improved the first year he was gone.
