Following the acquisition of Russell Westbrook, the Houston Rockets faced many questions from the national media on how Russ would fit. These questions were fair, as the Rockets employ a heavy 3-point offense, which isn’t necessarily a strength of Westbrook’s. On top of that, The Brodie has been accustomed to having the ball in his hands, which many expected to not be the case while playing alongside James Harden.
But Westbrook has averaged 26.7 points per game this season, which is the third-most of his career and the ninth-best in the league this season.
