how you never replied to the last article that showed that he makes his team worse. The list of players with a usage percentage over 30, a turnover percentage above 15 and a true shooting percentage under 55 is very small:
1 Russell Westbrook
2 DeMarcus Cousins
3 Russell Westbrook
4 John Wall
5 Shawn Kemp
6 Deron Williams
I chose these three numbers for a reason. When taken together, they show wasted possessions. The below average true shooting percentage coupled with the high volume of shots means that Westbrook’s shot selection could be better. Add in the high turnover percentage and you see he’s forcing possessions as well.
This isn’t guesswork. When Westbrook takes 25 or more shots, the Thunder are 12-13. He takes about 1.3 more true shooting attempts in losses than wins, and his true shooting percentage is 2.9 percentage points lower. He also turns the ball over .2 more times and averages 1.8 fewer assists.
But watch the Thunder for a while and you see teammates start to ball watch. Westbrook has had the ball in his hands 8.8 minutes per game, which is third in the NBA. Only John Wall and James Harden are ahead of him. But Wall doesn’t nearly have Westbrook’s usage and Harden has passed the ball 67.5 times to Westbrook’s 60.2
To whit: Westbrook is a ball hog. And that can take your teammates out of rhythm, and that sort of thing doesn’t go away just because you sit down

You can say whatever you want about rebounding, I watch them play every night, he outworks everyone on the floor, but to call him a ballhog is hilarious. Kobe was a ballhog, guys who average double digit assists per game aren't ballhogs.
