Russell Westbrook is quickly becoming one of the most entertaining players in the NBA to watch. While it's still early in the season, Westbrook is off to an amazing start and is quickly establishing himself as one of the best point guards in the league.

Through the first 19 games of the season, Westbrook has posted averages of 24.6 points, 8.6 assists, 5.6 rebounds and 2.2 steals per game.
