Thunder swing it around and literally none of the people they swing it to can actually shoot. :mjlol:

Sabo is fukking unbelievable he has some unbelievable shot selection

These two things are related. There's no spacing for him to destroy inside which is what he'd be best at. He has to go through people to score.

He has to shoot jumpers over people because no one else can do shyt on the perimeter with Dipo out and Payne gone. He's trying to make whatever work because he can't just keep passing and hoping everyone else around him can manage to score.

He's not the greatest 3 point shooter or really mid-range either, defenders can cheat screens and not get burned for the most part.

Of course he's bound to get some just off of his shot volume alone.

What does this have to do with what I said? What do you want Westbrook to do?

Shoot less so Abrines can shoot more? Turn the ball over less, which means handling and distributing less, and letting who run the offense, Roberson? People want to make it black and white: Russ needs to shoot less dumb shots, Russ needs to turn the ball over less, Russ needs to etc. It's not that simple. People will bring up last year with Durant saying he was doing the same shyt when he was shooting 5 less shots a game, shooting 45.5% which is pretty damn good, one less turnover per game(and Durant's were high too) and shot less 3's overall too.

It's not the same this year as it was last year. He has to do everything because atm, the only player that helps take even some of this pressure off of him as far as ball handling and creating on his own from perimeter is out(Oladipo) and the other one was traded(Payne).
