NBA 2019-20: 3 burning questions for Russell Westbrook heading into the next season

#1 How can Russell Westbrook integrate with James Harden in the same team?

Russell Westbrook needs to fit in perfectly with James Harden

Harden and Westbrook are two of the best players in the NBA. They are also very ball-dominant players and usually end up with the highest usage rate percentages across the league.

Westbrook makes his best moves in transition plays and is also good in the mid-post area, as well as when pick-and-rolls are executed well. Integrating his playing style with that of Harden will be difficult, since James Harden prefers a slower pace and requires plenty of ball-watching in possession at times. Harden has also been the number one preference for the Rockets over the years, so it will mostly be Westbrook who would need to adjust his play.

If they can manage to develop a good chemistry on-court and a deadly understanding, there will be no stopping the Rockets.
