Russell Westbrook 2023-24 Profile

Russell Westbrook — the 6 foot 4, 200 pound point guard for the Los Angeles Clippers — will go down as one of the best point guards of all time. Yet, considering the way that people have disrespected him in the past few seasons, it’s easy to forget just how incredible Russell Westbrook was during the first half of his career. And even now, Russell’s blend of explosive athleticism, adept passing, and defensive tenaciousness still shines through whenever he’s on the court. It’s just that the turnovers and other haphazard playmaking decisions sometimes muddies his narrative.

Russell Westbrook Background

Westbrook attended Leuzinger High School, but was very undersized during his first three years there and therefore didn’t receive collegiate interest. The summer before senior year, Westbrook grew to 6 feet, 3 inches tall.

During his senior year of high school, Westbrook averaged 25.1 points, 8.7 rebounds, 3.1 steals, and 2.3 assists. Once the season ended, Westbrook committed to play college basketball at UCLA.

Playing behind future NBA player Darren Collison, Westbrook averaged 3.4 points, 0.8 rebounds, and 0.7 assists as a freshman at UCLA. Westbrook finished his sophomore season averaging 12.7 points, 3.9 rebounds, 4.7 assists and 1.6 steals, and was named All Pac-10 Third Team and Pac-10 Defensive Player of the Year.

UCLA advanced to the Final Four in both of Westbrook’s seasons at UCLA, but never made it to the NCAA Championship game. After losing in the Final Four as a sophomore, Westbrook declared for the 2008 NBA Draft. And on June 26, 2008, Russell Westbrook was selected with the fourth overall pick of the 2008 NBA Draft by the Seattle SuperSonics (who became the Oklahoma City Thunder 6 days later).

Russell Westbrook’s NBA Career So Far

Westbrook averaged 15.3 points, 5.3 assists, 4.9 rebounds, and 1.3 steals per game in his rookie season with the Thunder, and finished fourth in 2008-09 NBA Rookie of the Year voting, as well as got named to the NBA’s All-Rookie First Team.

In his second season, Westbrook averaged 16.1 points, 8.0 assists, 4.9 rebounds, and 1.3 steals per game. The Thunder also made the playoffs for the first time in Westbrook’s career, but lost in the first round. During these playoffs, Westbrook averaged 20.5 points, 6.0 rebounds, 6.0 assists, and 3.2 steals per game.

Westbrook made his first ever All-Star team in the 2010-11 season. He finished the season averaging 21.9 points, 8.2 assists, 4.6 rebounds, and 1.9 steals per game, and was named to the All-NBA Second Team. The Thunder advanced to the Western Conference Finals that year.

In the 2011-12 season, Westbrook made another All-Star team, earned All-NBA Second Team honors again, and averaged 23.6 points, 5.5 assists, 4.6 rebounds and 1.7 steals per game. The Thunder advanced to the NBA Finals, but would lose in five games to the Miami Heat. Westbrook averaged 23.1 point per game throughout the playoffs.

Westbrook made another All-Star team in 2012-13, and finished the season averaging 23.2 points, 7.4 assists, 5.2 rebounds, and 1.8 steals per game. Unfortunately, Westbrook tore his meniscus in the playoffs that year, and the Thunder lost in the second round.

Westbrook missed the first half of the 2013-14 season due to that same meniscus injury, and played on limited minutes when he returned. The Thunder advanced to the Western Conference Finals that year, before losing to the San Antonio Spurs. Westbrook averaged 26.7 points, 8.1 assists, and 7.3 rebounds in the postseason.

Russell Westbrook returned to the All-Star game in 2015, and was named the All-Star game MVP. Since both Westbrook and his teammate Kevin Durant missed time due to injury, the Thunder missed the playoffs in this season — despite Westbrook averaging a then-career high 28.1 points per game

During the 2015-16 season, Westbrook earned his second consecutive All Star game MVP, and finished the season averaging 23.5 points, 10.4 assists, and 7.8 rebounds per game. The Thunder made it to the Western Conference Finals and went up 3-1 against the Golden State Warriors, but lost the series in 7 games.

In the 2016-17 season, Westbrook broke Oscar Robertson’s record for most triple doubles in a season, with 42. He became the second player in NBA history to average a triple double, after averaging 31.6 points, 10.4 assists, and 10.7 rebounds per game. Westbrook won his first and only NBA MVP award by season’s end.

Westbrook averaged a triple double again in the 2017-18 season (averaging 25.4 points, 10.3 assists, and 10.1 rebounds per game), finished as the league leader in assists per game, and was named to the All-NBA Second Team. The Thunder lost in the first round of the playoffs.

Once again, Westbrook averaged a triple double in the 2018-19 season (22.9 points, 10.7 assists, and 11.1 rebounds per game), earned his eighth All-Star selection, and lead the league in assists for the third straight season. His Thunder were once again eliminated in the first round.

Westbrook was traded to the Houston Rockers prior to the 2019-20 season. In a pandemic-shortened season, the Rockets advanced to the playoffs, but were eliminated in the second round. Westbrook averaged 17.9 points, 7.0 rebounds, and 4.6 assists per game in those playoffs — the lowest averages of his postseason career.

Then Westbrook was traded to the Washington Wizards prior to the 2020-21 season. He averaged a triple double for the fourth time in his career with the Wizards, and averaged 22.2 points, 11.7 assists, and 11.5 rebounds per game. The Wizards lost in the first round of the playoffs.

Prior to the 2021-22 season, Westbrook was traded to the Los Angeles Lakers. Westbrook received a lot of criticism during his time with the Lakers, mainly for poor shooting. Still, he averaged 18.5 points, 7.1 assists, and 7.4 rebounds per game in his first season.

Westbrook began the 2022-23 season with the Lakers coming off the bench, but was ultimately traded to the Utah Jazz in February. When traded, he was averaging 15.9 points, 7.5 assists and 6.2 rebounds with the Lakers.

Westbrook never played for the Jazz, and instead had his contract bought out by Utah and went to the Los Angeles Clippers. During the regular season, Westbrook averaged 15.8 points, 4.9 rebounds and 7.6 assists while shooting 48.9% from the field for the Clippers.

Despite Westbrook averaging 23.6 points, 7.6 rebounds, 7.4 assists, 1.2 steals, and 1.4 blocks per game in the playoffs, the Clippers were eliminated in the first round of the playoffs.

Russell Westbrook also has an accomplished National Team career, winning a gold medal at the 2010 World Championship and at the 2012 London Olympic games for Team USA.

Russell Westbrook 2023-24 Season Forecast

There’s no doubt that Russell Westbrook has talent skill left in the tank. Now on a star-studded Clippers team, Westbrook won’t average as much of anything as we’ve come to expect from him, and will be more of a role-based player. Still, he has a chance to win his first NBA Championship with the Clippers, which is likely what motivates him these days. Regardless of whether he gets that Championship, Russell Westbrook will go down as one of the greatest point guards in NBA history. And it’s about time we all show him respect for that.
