Russ’ finishing has fallen off this year
Russell Westbrook's Finishing Talent has taken a dip this season. Why is that?
📉 Rim Shot Creation
📉 Rim Shot MakingOne positive: his assist rate on drive passouts is up!
Can he turn it around and get back into form?

This year? Lol
Further athletic decline?
But his playmaking is so important
/s
Tim watch some games. This team was a disaster whenever Russ was off the court last night.
That’s odd I feel like he’s better finishing layups this year then he was last year. He still sucks at it overall but is doing way better than before
Fallen off THIS yr? Then wat was LAST yr??? I guess he went to a level lower than westBrick.
He’s garbage .
Washed.
I swear if he just made his layups he’s probably averaging 6 to 8 pts more a game
It was never on
He’s shit
I swear I’ve seen 3pointers brick softer than his layups. I don’t even know how it is physically possible for the ball to bounce that hard off the rim. It feels like physics are broken
No spacing.
The spacing problem affects Russ just like it does Bron.
Russ was never that good of a finisher even back in his prime years.
Russ does not have good touch around the rim like Giannis, Zion or Jokic
His decline in athleticism and the lack of spacing just hurt his finishing even more
This dudes stats are iffy in my opinion.
