Few players from this era of NBA basketball have been as polarizing as Russell Westbrook. And the Washington Wizards 120-91 loss to the Detroit Pistons on Thursday is a good illustration of why.
Westbrook had 16 points, 12 assists and 11 rebounds, and his Wizards were steamrolled by 29 points. And that came courtesy of a 14-34 team.
Washington s point guard leads the league in triple-doubles, and the team is now 8-10 in those games.
The scoring efficiency (or lack thereof) is the easiest culprit to find. His effective field-goal percentage is almost seven points shy of the league average. On Thursday, he needed 16 shots to get his 16 points, and he went 1-of-6 from the free-throw line.
