2.) Russell Westbrook

Ranking these last two guys are always fun, but arguably the best overall player in the league comes in as the second best point guard in the West…and league.

We all know about Westbrook’s elite athleticism and ability to score almost at will. We also know about his ability to record triple doubles on what seems a nightly basis. But now we all wait to see what he will do as the sole leader of the Oklahoma City Thunder.

With Kevin Durant in Golden State, Westbrook takes the reigns as the team’s best player and leader. There isn’t a point guard in the league that presents more match up problems than Westbrook as he is bigger and surprisingly quicker than most point guards.

The only thing Westbrook has to prove is his late game performances and turnovers when it counts the most.

He will look to lead the league again in triple doubles and is an early favorite for the Most Valuable Player award.
