Russell Westbrook‘s rank amongst the NBA’s top players seems to go as high as 10 and as low as 30 in the minds of fans and the media.
Westbrook, who is a former MVP and has lead the league in assists and points twice, puts up numbers that would easily put him in the top 15 of the NBA’s elite. After all, ESPN ranked him seventh entering last season, one spot ahead of Kawhi Leonard and two ahead of Joel Embiid (that aged poorly).
San Antonio would be an odd destination for the the eight-time all-star considering their depth and youth at the guard position.
