It’s just too late man. Analyst have been telling him he needs to throttle the aggressiveness for nearly a decade. Wall listened, Russ hasn’t



wall also learned to shoot 3pters and improved jumpers.

First 3 years: 32.9% 16ft+ and 24.3% from 3
Next 5 years: 36.8% 16ft+ and 34.0% from 3

The issue for Westbrook isn't the aggressiveness, the issue is poor shot selection and failing to improve those bad shots to at least make them reasonable.

I learned to love Westbrook's style of play and how he can play at 100% all game. The issue is him going at 100% leads him to play reckless to his weaknesses.

Rubio made a 3pt shot in his face
He goes down and tries to shoot one to respond. smarter decision would have been to drive since Gobert wasn't in position, he had a decent lane and he's fast enough to get there.

Russell Westbrook is the antithesis of the maxim(s) "work smart, not hard" or "work smart and hard," that said I love his max effort approach to basketball however it ain't translating to a lot of Ws or great team success like it did for one Allen Iverson back in 2001 when he led that Sixers team to the NBA Finals no sir

Donovan Mitchell will be an absolute stud in this league. Looks like the Jazz hit the jackpot when they picked him up at 13.

Also I really wish Russ could learn to play in control more. He is such a fantastic player and it's so fun to watch. But with his current style of play I doubt he has what it takes to lead a team to a finals victory. He always goes 100% and thats great, but he also plays out of control too many times.
