Since the Lakers closed the Russell Westbrook trade, he has not stopped analyzing his fit in the team. If you don’t have an outside shot, if you need the ball in your hands … It seemed that the Angelenos were heading towards the most absolute disaster. It is not being this way. The veteran point guard has been finding his place and in recent games he has been improving his performance until he currently has an average of 19.4 points, 8.8 rebounds, 8.5 assists and 1.5 steals. They are good numbers, especially considering that it is the complement to two huge players like LeBron James and Anthony Davis. Justo El Rey has spoken of Russ, whom he praises for not having changed his style of play despite criticism.
“Russell is a special player and has remained himself for the past few weeks. He is the most explosive point guard in the history of the NBA, ”he commented, praising his teammate.
LeBron is right. Having Westbrook can be very beneficial, but only if you do what you do best. Sending him to a corner or trying to vary his game would not help the team. We all know the MVP of 2017, both his strengths and weaknesses. When they took over his services the Lakers knew they were getting, and listening to LeBron it seems that they are happy with the decision.
Regarding the team’s results, they have improved significantly. On the final night the Big Three combined to score 84 points and beat the Rockets. They have won five of their last six meetings and are currently 5-3. There is still a long way to go. They will continue to progress.
