Fantasy Analysis
Westbrook continues to prove himself as one of the elite Fantasy options in the league and has put together his fine scoring season as a pro thus far. While his shooting can be a bit streaky at times, Westbrook should remain active in all formats over the final few weeks of the season. (Updated 03/28/2012).
05/22/2012 00:28 Westbrook, Durant lead Thunder past Lakers, return to Western finals
Russell Westbrook scored 28 points, Kevin Durant added 25 points and 10 rebounds, and the Oklahoma City Thunder surged ahead in the second half to beat Los Angeles 106-90 in Game 5 on Monday night and eliminate the Lakers from the playoffs.
Westbrook blossomed from solid contributor to Fantasy stud last season alongside Kevin Durant in Oklahoma City. The former UCLA standout poured in 21.9 points per game to go with his 8.2 assists, 1.9 steals, 4.6 rebounds and career-high 44 percent shooting from the field. Westbrook, like teammate Durant, will be just 23 for the majority of the 2011-12 campaign. Already entering his fourth NBA year, Westbrook should only continue to show improvement as he attempts to polish the finer aspects of his game while limiting the 3.9 turnovers per game he had last go-round. The more comfortable he and Durant get in sharing the spotlight, the better each players’ games will become. Westbrook could conceivably pick up his assist production close to double digits. That is a scary concept as the young Thunder look to improve as a unit with Westbrook running the show. Westbrook should be considered among the NBA Fantasy elite entering the season. We like him as a possible top three Fantasy guard above such names as Kobe Bryant, Deron Williams and Steve Nash. Consider him in Round 1 in most Fantasy drafts. (Updated 8/28/11)
