NBA Players: 5 Superstars who could underperform next season

#4 Russell Westbrook

Brodie continues to fortify his triple-double dynasty.

Although Russell Westbrook has turned into a bonafide facilitator during the years following his MVP season, his long-range shooting has been a consistent disastor. The 30-year-old has been shooting just 30.9 percent from downtown over the last five years and shot just under 30 percent in four of those five seasons.

Ironically, he has been shipped to a team that lives and thrives on shots from deep. There is no denying the fact that the Rockets are a high-volume three-point shooting team and that Westbrook cannot make even a third of his 3-point attempts.

With the veteran entering into his 12th season, a substantial jump in his perimeter conversion rates is highly unlikely and it considerably increases the probability of him not fitting well in Mike D'Antoni's system.

Nevertheless, the pairing of Westbrook and Harden incorporates MVP’s, scoring titles and more All-Star appearances than you can count, it's the Larry O'Brien hardware that evades both the megastars.
