NBA 2017-18: Top 10 Iso Scorers During the Regular Season

#6 Russell Westbrook

Westbrook couldn’t even dunk until he was a 17-year-old high school senior.

Stats: 4.1 ppg on 36.4% shooting, 0.82 points per possession

Westbrook's athleticism and ability to accelerate amid traffic is superhuman. Anything he does, from driving to the basket, to running around a screen for a mid-range jumper is done at a blistering pace and intense energy at the same time. His ability to gun for mini loopholes and/or spaces and/or clear paths to the basket is meteoric.

His isolation game stands out in the vast ocean of ball-handlers owing heavily to the fact that he brings the ball up the court around 63 percent of the time when he’s in the game for the OKC. He accounts for 46 percent of Oklahoma City’s potential assists.

What keeps Westbrook away from leaving an indelible mark on the NBA landscape even after averaging triple-doubles in consecutive seasons and winning MVP, is the harsh reality that he is ineffective & offers nothing when he doesn't have the ball(keeping the off-ball movement of Curry and Thompson in mind).
