I want to see how his style of play changes once his athleticism declines, because everything he does it dependent on his athleticism.

Does he came resemble that of the current Derrick Rose?


he's dead once that happens.....but he's a way better athlete than rose. he might last longer.


He can't shoot, all of his points come in the paint on fast break layups/dunks, and he isn't a good defender.

i agreed with you. but rose lost his athleticism early because of surgery and he never was quite as athletic as russ. he's not gonna fall apart as early. once he does though he's finished.

see, this aint normal westbrook.....there's a big difference between 37 percent and 21 percent. that is terrible. i also read earlier that melo is shooting like 22 percent on 3s with nobody within 6 feet. this is a special kind of awful.
