Backcourt: Russell Westbrook & Dion Waiters
I know what you’re thinking. Any team with Russell Westbrook should be at least in the top-5, but this is about the whole backcourt and not just one person.
Westbrook is a beast. He can easily drop 30 points and 9 assist per game, but his counterpart, Dion Waiters, is still trying to find his place on the team.
Westbrook has the skills to do anything he wants on the court. Waiters might prove to be the most important piece to the Thunder’s success this season. Defenses will collapse on Westbrook and Kevin Durant, leaving Waiters open on the perimeter to knock down those long jumpers he loves to take.
