OKC Thunder star Russell Westbrook must move more off the ball to improve shooting percentages

Know your limits, Master Westbrook. “Beastbrook has no limits,” is the only fitting response that would come out of OKC Thunder Russell Westbrook‘s lips. But turns out he does have limitations, becoming more apparent with father time creeping into the future hall of famer’s body. His lift is lower, thus he is relying more on his upper body and wrist action, leading to most of his jump shots being way off the mark. Either the ball barely grazes the rim, or they go high across the backboard.

The biggest indicator of shot effectiveness has always been his performance at the line.
