Why is Westbrook way better now? (alien.top)

As a Lebron fan, it seems like Westbrook seems like a much better player now compared to when he was a Laker. What happened? What makes him work so much better in the Clippers system?

As I type this though, he had a crucial turnover lol.

He's on a team with a better fit for 1/11 the salary. Having 3 max players that are all inconsistent at the 3 is simply not viable in the modern NBA.

Lebron needs the ball in his hands and spacing. His assists usually cone from kicking it out to shooters or cutters. It was a bad fit for Westbrook because he's neither. With the Clippers, he gets to do what he does best, which is go full speed, drive and find open guys.

Fax. D Wade = great cutter, kyrie = great shooter, that’s what works

Cause he has a coach that maximize his talent rather than forcing him to be someone else. A lot of players are like this

He’s not. Defense is a thing. He was a -8 in the game
