Name:
Russell Westbrook |
 |
|
School:
UCLA |
|
Position: PG/SG |
|
Class: Sophomore |
|
Height: 6'3" |
|
Weight: 192 |
|
Strengths: |
Westbrook is a rare athlete who possesses an elite first-step
and leaping ability. He was one of the most improved
players in college basketball last season, going from an
after-thought as a freshman to an impact player as a sophomore.
He's one of the best defenders in the NCAA and has the ability
to be a lock down guy at either guard spot. Doesn't go
looking to do to much on offense. A real team guy who
brings a ton of energy. |
|
Weaknesses: |
While
is ceiling across the board is enormous, he's no where near
reaching any of them. His assist to turnover ratio last
season proves he can effectively run a team, but he's not what
you'd consider a true point guard right now. More of an
up-tempo guy then a half-court player right now. Only an
average shooter and ball-handler at this point. |
|
Overall:
|
Westbrook is improving by leaps and bounds and his work ethic
suggests that it will continue. Right now it's hard to see
what the finished product is going to look like. Even if
he never reaches his ceiling, he's still going to be a useful
NBA player for a long time. |
