On January 1, Beijing time, since the Lakers traded Westbrook, his performance has been controversial and questioned, and the famous NBA journalist Zach Lowe said bluntly in his personal program that no matter from which point of view is defined, Westbrook is no longer a superstar.
'It's time to be honest, Westbrook is no longer a superstar, no matter how you define a superstar, when I hear the word, the first thing that comes to my mind is that he can be named to the team of the year, but Westbrook is obviously no longer a player of this class." Zach Lowey said.
This season, Westbrook has averaged 19.7 points, 8.1 rebounds and 8.3 assists per game, but there will be as many as 4.7 turnovers per game, and too many mistakes are his most criticized problems, but Zach Lowey believes that Westbrook's problems are more than just mistakes.
"People have been watching Westbrook's turnovers, and the number of turnovers he has made this season remains high. But it's important to note that Westbrook is no longer just an ordinary mistake, he often loses simple layups, which are extremely harmful to the team and often put the Lakers in a 4-5 situation," Zack Lowey continued.
It is worth mentioning that in the last moments of previous games with the Nets and Grizzlies, Westbrook has missed dunks and layups. It may be unfair to blame Westbrook for the Lakers' poor performance this season, but from the current situation, Westbrook has dropped significantly from his peak state, and he is indeed no longer a superstar.
