No. 2 Russell Westbrook and Victor Oladipo – Oklahoma City Thunder

Combined averages: 39.5 points, 14.3 assists, 12.6 reboounds

At No. 2, Westbrook and Oladipo will be one of the most fun duos to watch. Both are extremely athletic, quick, and strong. Westbrook plays with a passion like no other, he is always giving 120 percent.

As Oladipo plays more and more with Westbrook I think he will learn and will begin to do the same. Both Westbrook and Oladipo are “do-it-all” guards who are triple double machines. With Durant’s departure from Oklahoma City, Russell immediately becomes a candidate for the NBA MVP trophy.

With the loss of Ibaka and Waiters, this team replaced their scoring with Oladipo, who will be Westbrook’s second-hand man. These two should combine for countless transition highlights the coming year, but will those highlights be enough to make a push in the Western Conference playoffs?
