Russell Westbrook finally gets to be “the guy” with the Oklahoma City Thunder after Kevin Durant‘s decision to sign with the Golden State Warriors. Now fans will get to see Westbrook operate with the ball in his hands even more.
What will second year head coach Billy Donavon do to compensate for the loss of Durant? He picked up a good young guard in Victor Oladipo to play on the perimeter alongside Westbrook. OKC also adds rookie forward Domantas Sabonis as a versatile offensive threat and solid defender.
The most comparable season that Westbrook had without Durant came during the 2014-15 season when Durant only played 27 games.
