Russell Westbrook didn't mince words when responding to Skip Bayless for calling him "Westbrick" on Twitter. His response came after Bayless fired shots at him in a tweet about the Lakers' draft pick.The LA Lakers selected Michigan State's Max Christie in Thursday's draft. Christie is a work-in-progress and needs to improve his efficiency from long range. Bayless wasn't impressed with the Lakers for picking the MSU guard with their second-round pick and took to Twitter to express his frustration."Lakers acquire a 2nd-round pick, take Michigan State's Max Christie, who shot only 32% from 3 last season. Perfect! He'll fit right in with LeBron and Westbrick."Bayless took a swipe at Westbrook and LeBron James, who aren't known for being efficient 3-point shooters in their careers. Both players do most of their damage inside the paint. This led to the duo being a misfit alongside each other last campaign.The LA Lakers lacked spacing on offense, as they only had a few reliable shooters on the team. As such, many believed they should've acquired an efficient shooter in the draft.Skip Bayless has been critical of Russell Westbrook for a long time and the Lakers guard didn't hold back this time. He decided to respond to the Fox Sports analyst in a bold manner. The former MVP wrote:"Yoooo… watch your mouth. Don’t say anything here you wouldn’t say to my face."Russell Westbrook@russwest44Yoooo… watch your mouth.
