Point Guards

1. Russell Westbrook

Stats: 32 points, 10 assists, 9 rebounds

Maybe Westbrook should join a league that’s more advanced than the one he currently is in. Okay, I know that’s a complete joke, but quite frankly Westbrook is performing at incredulous levels, averaging 30.9 points, 9.4 assists and 8.9 rebounds a night while carrying a make-shift Thunder squad to surprising 6-5 record.

There shouldn’t be an argument for who the best point guard in the NBA is at this point. RW3 is re-defining the game of basketball every time he steps on the floor; penetrating, shooting, and defending his way into a category that very few players can attest to.

Can you say MVP front-runner?
