I’m no Wiz expert but they not far from respectable. I doubt Westbrook is the sole reason for their issues but his double-double stat machine act will get him to HOF as MVP and its impressive.
He is a special individual athlete in a team oriented game.

yeah but the next game he had 35 pts 14 rebounds, 21 assist.
I think he would play entirely different under this coaching staff, as opposed to scott brooks and his staff

“Entirely Different”? Describe how that works? LIke when Earl monroe came to knicks? Earl Came to team whose core was still in its prime after winnng a chip and to be the 5th HOF on the team. Then you change your game. Pay a guy 90 mil to play entirely different?
Off the top of my head I can only think of one other player in his prime who did what Earl did with an injury not playing a role and that was Mark Aquirre when he got traded to the Pistons.
