2. Russell Westbrook, Oklahoma City Thunder
2014-15 Stats: 28.1 points, 8.6 assists, 7.3 rebounds
If there is any player in the game that can give opponents nightmares, it’s Russell Westbrook.
He’s the most intense player in the game — he can get a rebound from under one hoop, take three steps and already be in the air for a dunk before you can even mentally register what happened.
He has a very underrated pull-up midrange shot and can play excellent defense when he wants. His three-point shot can be inconsistent, while still developing, and his shot selection is suspect, but his incredible athleticism and versatility far outweigh those negatives.
