Who dares to want Westbrook? The Rockets are now coming out and want to trade Wall for Westbrook. It would be better for them to cash in another first-round pick. To be honest, if the deal goes through, the Lakers will lose 80% of the time. Soldier, it doesn’t matter if there is no first-round pick without Westbrook, winning the championship may be completely out of the question, and for the Rockets, this may be considered a robbery.
In the offensive style of guards, Wade, Rose and Westbrook are actually the representatives of extreme speed in the past ten years, and Wall is one of the representatives later, but in terms of style, what do Wall and Westbrook have? Is it different? If we talk about the advantages, Westbrook’s quickness and fierceness are really not comparable to Wall, then in terms of disadvantages, the two can laugh at a hundred steps, and the Rockets’ abacus is playing well. Wall was originally interested in They are useless people, and it is their wish to cash in on the Lakers.
From an attacking point of view, Wall may have the impression that he is a speed guard with a softer hand than Westbrook, with a higher offensive efficiency and a better mid-range shot. Throughout his career so far, Wall’s two-point shooting rate is only 45%, Westbrook is 47%, Wall’s shooting rate from 3-10 feet is only 32.8%, and Westbrook’s range is 34.2%; look at 10- From 16 feet, Wall’s shooting percentage is 36.4% and Westbrook’s 39.1%; from 16 feet to the three-point line, Wall’s shooting rate is 35.6%, and Westbrook’s is 38.6%. The only thing Wall’s shooting rate is better than Westbrook’s is His three-pointers are nothing more than 32.3% against 30%, and the gap is not big.
In terms of style, Wall’s speed may not be as fast as Westbrook’s. It’s almost enough to see everyone. What we are discussing now is the comparison between the first triple-double king in history and Wall’s. Wall is the kind of really immersed in breakthroughs. Player, 9.1 assists in his career sounds good, but the rate of attracting double teams and playing the ball in the first time may not be as fast as Westbrook, and turnovers are better, but what the Lakers need now may not be this kind of speed guard. After all, the US media is worried about the Lakers’ season-long offensive and defensive conversion rate this season. One of the reasons for the incompatibility between Westbrook and the Lakers is that everyone is not at the same point. Fast and slow are not compatible with each other. The matter of Wall coming will not change, and the probability is similar to when Westbrook was there. So in terms of offense and style, when Wall came to the Lakers, he would be a blind man breaking corn, one corn for another, no difference.
If the Lakers really get Wall, it may be even more of a loss, because from the perspective of defense and confrontation, Westbrook is better than Wall. In his career, Westbrook has entered the top 20 in rebounding in 4 seasons and top 20 in steals in 11 seasons. Wall has only reached milestones in 6 seasons. Wall has only entered the top 20 in player efficiency list twice in his career. Westbrook is 7 times. As for defensive efficiency, Wall only ranked 12th in the league in defensive contribution when he was at the peak of his career in 2014-2015. The defensive efficiency has never entered the top 20, which is already Wall’s best data. However, Westbrook has ranked in the top 20 in the league in defensive contribution 6 times in his career and top 15 in the league in defensive efficiency twice. Even now, Westbrook’s defensive contribution value in the Lakers is still better than James.
To sum up, Westbrook is no worse offense than Wall in terms of function, better in usage rate and physical state than Wall, is a famous iron man in the league, and is better than Wall in defense, then the Lakers If the team and the Rockets make a deal, it may be to let a small Westbrook into the camp, which is meaningless. In addition, the injury of the thick eyebrows this season is still unknown. It is not known to what level of recovery. Westbrook looks stumbled now, but at the critical moment, Westbrook is an MVP-level superstar after all, and it is a bet that can be on his own. Not a discussion at Wall’s level. Therefore, the rumored transaction between the Lakers and the Rockets seems like the Rockets want to take advantage of the situation.
