MPJ is a career 41% 3 point shooter. Dario Šarić shoots 37% from distance & Denver has two excellent shooters who were rookies last year & while their numbers don't show it yet, both Julian Strawther & Hunter Tyson will be 40% 3 point shooters as well when they get some consistent court time. Russ brings leadership off the bench if he can adjust his game.
Malone got Boogie Cousins to do that so anything is possible.
Bruce Brown replacement with a bit more. Great fit.
"Let" Bruce Brown go? Denver could NOT come close to matching the offer from the Indiana Pacers. They were literally barred by the terms of the CBA from doing so. Now KCP was possible to keep IF the Nuggets ownership was willing to take the hit by bouncing into the '2nd wall' of the new CBA. They weren't so KCP took the significantly better offer. Did that hurt… oh my goodness yes, but KCP didn't make the All-Star team either. Now Russ REALLY stepped up his defense for the Clippers. So much so that he became their 2nd best stopper after multi All-NBA and All-NBA Defensive team Kawhi. Russ has never had a major injury and you can still see plenty of 'bounce' in his athleticism. Personally, I think after this season folks will look back at the Russ Westbrook pickup as the 'sleeper' homerun of the off-season.
I thought LeBron James was the best player in the world!? 😂 it's funny how indy media knows the truth but the so called pros will say anything for the right price.
Westbrook wins a ring ! Believe me
GPT2 💀
@0:09 part, that jumping form was terrible, and he was still flying.
Tired of this false narrative that Jokic is the best. He clearly isn’t not in the least. That title belongs to Giannis or even LeBron still.
The Nuggets needs a Grayson Allen 💯
"stick around to find out" = gonna waste about 9:47 minute of your time.
He can make their bench serious.
When did Jokic ask for Westbrook? Not a single source said he had anything to do with the trade, he was at Olympics and attending horse races in Serbia.
HIM: you confused my professionalism with a lack of ambition
cute
Russ mvp season averaging triple double and the game winning 3 to knock nuggets out the playoffs at home probably helped with jokics decision
I feel bad for Nuggets fan. Although I doubt Coach Malone gives him any playing time.
I will forever had pat bev for what he did to Russ man..
His atletik ability still is amazing dude! What you talking bout?! Last season,do you watch his top dunks?!!! Show some respect!
Starting Lineup if they are smart is Westbrook at PG, Murray at SG, Porter Jr at SF, Gordon at PF and Jokic at C. Westbrook has always had a shot just not a 3 point shot, the game is now lazy and promoting uncoordinated, lazy players for the current trend and creating the decline in viewership, along with lack of defense. Jokic is not the best player in the league and it is more evident every year. Murray doesn't play point guard well he has low assists and is better in set shots or dribble drives off the pass.
"But when Alot of different teams improving their roster" proceeds to show a clip of the Lakers 😂😂😂 you must be a bronsexual cause Lakers have done nothing to be better
You really dont know basketball
Joker has a plan 🤔
Jokic.know bball.
How much minutes per game would work best for Westbrook?
Denver misses Bruce Brown. Russ fills that role pretty well. High energy. Will rebound, will hustle and be that dog. He will trash talk too. Denver missed that. Not too worried about Braun replacing KCP.
The Russel Westbrook experiment just keeps going , and going.
have you not watch what he does in clippers?
he will replace what AG does when he and jokic is both inside.
I wish dallas got russ
Jokic understood that he had bums playing wit him in the clutch, nobody could help him score. This is an easy pickup.
stats aside, Russ is one of the rare players who still plays with a heart
The only good decisions Nuggets made were:
1. Releasing Will Barton.
2. Signing Aaron Gordon.
Now the bad decisions.
1. Release Grant
2. Release Brown
3. Release Campazzo
4. Sign Jordan
5. Release Caldwell Pope
6. Giving max contract to Murray
7. Signing Jackson
Yeah it can make sense. Westbrook doesn't need to run the offence and doesn't need to play full minutes. I can see it working out.
This is a masterclass in how to make a 45sec YouTube Short into an (almost) 10min video. Geez….
Westbrook is a helluva player. He def could start
wesbrick is trash.
hes still fast, jokic loves that
BRODIE gonna ball out…😂
