1 for 16 in two games! Bad, too bad! Westbrook is expected to succeed in usurping the throne

FIBA is a dragon, NBA is a bug.

In the past two games, he scored 2 points, 2 rebounds and 8 assists on 0-of-10 shooting, and 3 points, 3 rebounds and 2 assists on 1-of-6 shooting. A total of 1-for-16 in sports games... This is the data played by Schroeder, the King's starting point guard and MVP% of the European Championship.

This summer, Schroeder joined the Kings for three years and US$45 million. So far this season, he has averaged 12.7 points, 3.6 rebounds, 6.5 assists, 2.2 turnovers, and 1.2 steals per game. His three shooting percentages are 39.2%, 28.3%, and 88.9%. Under his command, the team temporarily ranks 13th in the Western Conference with 3 wins and 7 losses.

But to a certain extent, this is a good thing, because the more disastrous Schroeder's performance is, the greater the chance that Westbrook will be promoted to the starting point guard.

In fact, Westbrook has started in 5 of the 10 games he has played for the Kings so far. He has made a cameo appearance as the starting power forward and has had unexpectedly excellent results.

Weiless started all three games from November 4th to 8th, scoring 26 points, 12 rebounds and 6 assists, 23 points, 16 rebounds and 10 assists, and 24 points, 6 rebounds and 9 assists respectively.

So far, Westbrook has played 28 minutes per game this season, contributed 15 points, 6.4 rebounds, 5.5 assists, 2.9 turnovers and 1.2 steals. He shot 46.6% from the field and averaged 2.3 three-pointers at a 45.1% field goal percentage per game. However, he only received a non-guaranteed veteran's basic salary contract, which is extremely cost-effective. Many people are calling on the Kings to quickly turn him into a regular player and lock in his starting position.

But the Kings seem to have other ideas. After Westbrook performed well in three consecutive starts as mentioned above, he was suddenly demoted to the bench in the recently concluded 117-144 loss to the Timberwolves. In this campaign, he should have only scored 6 points, 1 assist, 1 steal and 1 shot, and played less than 16 minutes.

Could it be that Westbrook is too fierce and affects the king's plan?

If the Kings don't plan to win and have no plans to turn Westbrook into a regular player, it would be better to cut Westbrook as soon as possible. The latter's market value is very high, and now entering the free market is a sweet potato, and he will have the opportunity to play for a championship team instead of wasting his few playing career on a weak team.

An old Ferrari is still a Ferrari.

The 36-year-old Westbrook has won back the respect he deserves with his hard power.
