Russell Westbrook and the reasons to believe he will rise again with the Denver Nuggets
The veteran point guard could find an ideal ecosystem to be important again and help the Nuggets contend for the ring.
The competitive drift in which Russell Westbrook has been for some time now has led the point guard to be crushed by his detractors and for the Denver Nuggets' bet on him to be trivialized. However, there are diverse and powerful reasons to think that the point guard can be a perfect complement to Jokic and company.
One of the most complicated processes for NBA superstars is to assume the change in role that time demands. Russell Westbrook disappointed for some seasons, but he has been for some years now in the process of accepting that his best times are behind, trying to understand himself and embrace his new possibilities to maximize his chances of winning a ring. The exercise of humility of taking a pay cut and not claiming a predominant position has been done, and now he arrives at Denver Nuggets, a place conducive to him.
The automatism generated by the franchise's starters of Colorado and how much everyone has improved in terms of tactical intelligence hand in hand with Jokic, can be harnessed by a Russell Westbrook who will come off the bench with nothing to lose and assuming a leadership role in the attack. He must be aggressive, draw fouls, and change the game pace in a team that plays excessively slow and lacks unbalancing elements that can surprise.
