Our Washington Wizards player evaluation series is down to two players, plus a couple more posts for Head Coach Scott Brooks and General Manager Tommy Sheppard. We have two players left, namely, the starting backcourt. Today, we’ll get to Russell Westbrook.
How did Westbrook perform last season?
Westbrook averaged 22.2 points, 11.7 assists and 11.5 rebounds per game in 65 appearances for the Wizards in the 2020-21 season. This is the fourth triple-double average season he had in the last five seasons.
His signature game came in a 125-124 loss to the Atlanta Hawks on May 10, when he scored 28 points, dished 21 assists and grabbed 13 rebounds because it was his 182nd career triple double, breaking a long-time record held by Oscar Robertson.
