I also read that the new coach wanted to used Westbrook and be a shooter.
That's funny because Westbrook will never be a great shooter, unless he will be the one carrying the ball and find ways to get inside and draw a foul. his point percentage has gone down, that's because he is not anymore with OKC, it's a different system that he is playing now which does not fit fully fit him.
Damn, all of these Westbrook rumors aren't that great at all. Westbrook is far from becoming a shooter but we don't know what's on the mind of this coach.
If he sees the potential of Westbrook being like that, then he sees it and he's the only one that can maximize his usage into that full potential of what he's saying.
If we talk about Westbrook's current status, he's not that great shooter now but before I can say he was pretty good. What he can do now is to focus on inside scoring as even already far from his prime, he is still athletic and quick. Can still consider one of the strong and quick shooting guards in the league. He can still destroy defense inside with his acrobatic and strong moves.
I consider Westbrook is still a better player compared to the majority of the players in the league. Westbrook still has it. It's just that he needs to be strong in facing the criticism and try not to think of that as that's a distraction.
If the coach is thinking of playing him as a shooter, it is quite possible that this plan is going to fail. He is not playing well right now and I think if he is handed the shooting job, he will not be able to perform effectively. I know everyone is expecting him to perform more effectively. But I don’t know if he is willing to do that as well. He will have to check his work carefully and try really hard. And through diligent work, he will have to prove that he is actually willing to change. Yes, I also consider him to be a competent player and better than a lot of players in the league. But that doesn’t mean he will be able to carry his team alone.
It would be nice if Clarkson will land to Phoenix, though I doubt if Utah will let him go. He's still young and with
this rebuilding process he can be the main man for this team. The Jazz can surround him with good role players and with those
future picks, he can work on them and utilize those new young bloods.
Though there's nothing is for sure. While you are in this league, we will hear any updates if Jazz will also trade those three known
stars.
It's highly unlikely that the Utah Jazz will allow Clarkson to be released from them. I think his contract will last until next year and that's the deal that he's got from there.
Well, if the Jazz management will pick some other helpers for him then that's a good deal. But if he's the one that will be buyout by any other team and gives them an offer that's hard to decline, we don't know what's next.
Without Mitchell, Utah will have trouble managing already. If they also let Clarkson leave the team, the team will end up being very weak. They can do that if they are contemplating changing the team for the better. But I really don't think that is the case. Anyway, I think Utah should keep him on the team. They should see out the contract until the end. And I believe he will be quite productive for the team until the end of his contract.
