Much has been made about the flaws in Russell Westbrook‘s game. Many view him as a poor defender, a player who is too ball dominant and a poor three-point shooter.
I’m not exactly worried about those things nor do I necessarily agree with those points either. Everyone will always rush to judgement before a single game is played and before we even see what Mike D’Antoni will draw up.
What I’m really concerned about however is something different and something Westbrook will have to change on his own. His free throw shooting.
Westbrook has had his free throw shooting dip in each of the last two seasons.
