I don't think you'll ever see a more animated and energetic than player than Westbrook. Westbrook is a highlight reel, showing off his vicious dunks or acrobatic layups, and has a good shooting touch from about anywhere. Westbrook is a player that leaves all on the court, makes great hustle plays, and on ocasion gets a little lucky with some of his shots. It seemed that Russell would miss a good chunk of the first half of the season with the meniscus tear in his knee in last year's playoffs, but it was miraculous Westbrook came back only 2 games in the season. Westbrook took a little while to get back to his former self, and eventually he got his rhythm back. Once Westbrook regained his rhythm, he proceeded to put his usually numbers, good scoring, great rebounding for PGs, and decent assist numbers. Still though, there's a lot of room for improvement in a couple areas for Westbrook. First off, the shot selection of Westbrook can be very, very poor, especially when it comes to crunch time. Given, no player makes every shot he takes, but in Westbrook's case it seems like he's just forcing too many of his shots. Secondly, Westbrook is most times selfish with the ball, granted that he is apart of the two headed scoring machine in OKC along with KD. I feel that Westbrook's assist numbers could be among the best in the league, because of KD's verstile shooting, and Serge Ibaka's ever improving offense. Those major points keep Westbrook out of the top 2 PGs in the league.
