Good point... Roberson really needs to work on his three point shot. Defensively, he’s a fantastic player.
I think Russ’s problem is he’s not coachable. He’s got all the talent in the world but he hasnt improved much in terms of bball iq...
But yes his lack of range doesn’t help either. I didnt know much about shroder but after doing some research discovered that he can’t shoot. So yes you are probably correct...
As long as Russ is the leading man, I feel that the potential of the others on the roster will probably not be realized...
That said, the best chance a Russ led team would have is to surround him with 4 elite shooters who can switch everything on D. Even then you gotta hope he passes the ball to them...
Schroder is going to have a bad season because of Westbrook. He’s not a good teammate on the court. Reggie is actually a pretty solid pg now. Oladipo got unleashed, Melo had his worst season with them, KD is happy now. The Westbrook effect.
that's extremely unfair. Reggie Jackson sucks. He is a lockeroom cancer in Detroit too and makes his team worse. Oladipo had noone to blame but himself. He sucked before he went to OKC for years. Then he sucked in OKC. Melo sucked there and will almost certainly suck this season too. KD is happy because he got rings without having to fight for them. Funny how people rewrite history.
he led his team to the worst record in the league. can't get much worse than that this is a breath of fresh air for him and hes getting paid starter money for the bench in multiple years
Schroeder actually wanted out of the Hawks because he was being cast in the unappealing role of tank commander. So this move to a contender should actually please him a lot, what with him having his offcourt issues and still ending up in a good situation. Also Westbrook is actually his idol and the one player he models his game after (can't understand why he would feud with Westbrook). But, that said, are we even sure that this dude will even see the floor as an OKC Thunder ? It may well be that Presti is again playing 4-D chess and may well get out of the horrible Melo contract for f***k all like prime Houdini.
