4. Russell Westbrook – Oklahoma City Thunder
Arguably the most explosive player in the league, not just in the ranks of point guard, Russell Westbrook has often been the catalyst of big wins by the Oklahoma City Thunder in the past three years.
Possessing blinding speed and amazing athletic ability, Westbrook can look like a bull in a china shop when he is going to the rim.
But when he finishes with a dunk it’s fitting he plays for the Thunder given that’s what the rim sounds like when he throws it down.
Westbrook’s biggest problems in his career have been his offence going missing, sometimes in crucial moments, as he jump shot can look rusty and his passing.
He has often been criticised for not passing enough, but that was before when he had Kevin Durant and the now departed James Harden in the side.
Westbrook will have plenty of attention this season, not just being the second prong to the Thunder’s maybe skinny offence, but also has he tries to comeback from two off-season surgeries.
