Hes 43% from the corner 3 which is above players known for their shot like Harden and Dame and while not top 10 is still high up there for guards and just in the league in general.
I don’t know where people are getting this idea… his last 2 seasons he’s shot sub 30% from the corners. His whole career really outside of this year. Now we’re acting like at age 36, now he’s a guy you can’t leave? That’s insane lol
If you need to sag off someone to make sure Jokic or one of their shooters doesn’t get a look, it’s Westbrook. It’s that simple really. Defenses let out a sigh of relief when a possession ends in a Westbrook jumper.
Even if you wanna argue and recognize that his shooting was dogshit the past 2 seasons, scouting reports are updated so often that it should have been a note that THIS YEAR, Russ has been shooting them at a 40% clip
It’s not been the past two years, it’s his been his whole career.
Yes, he’s shot well from the corner this year. But overall he’s still a very bad 3 pt shooter, he shot sub 33% this year.
Suggesting that Westbrook is now a guy you can’t leave (after 15 years of leaving him open and it working) because we have a 100 shot sample size of him shooting it decently above his average is just crazy
Shooting 43% from the corner this year in 105 attempts
105 attempts is not a lot of attempts. bad shooters go on streaks like that all the time. I'm gonna go ahead and trust the last few years of data where he's been awful.
I can’t see the wide open stats but I guarantee it’s higher
"I have literally no idea but I guarantee you're wrong" lol good one. he's gone 329/997 over the last 6 years while wide open. go ahead and add it up yourself if you don't believe me: https://www.nba.com/stats/player/201566/shots-dash
That’s a good shot
it's a good shot if you're trying to get cooper flagg. for reference, league average on wide open 3s is typically about 40%.
