Following another record-breaking regular season, OKC Thunder star Russell Westbrook averaged a triple-double for an astounding third season in the row. Brodie not only stepped up defensively, but he also did so while deferring to Paul George who was having a spectacular season in his own right.
This accolade is sadly diminished by how OKC’s season ended.
While Russ improved his defensive effort, and once again led the league in assists. His abysmal shot selection and shooting percentages have plagued his career. Without a dramatic change, his shooting will undoubtedly continue to be exploited by opposing defenses.
