20-year old Russell Westbrook is a player for the Thunder to build around. Westbrook played in 82 games for the Thunder last season and he averaged 32.5 minutes, 15.3 points, 4.9 rebounds, 5.3 assists and 1.3 steals per game. The Thunder like the fact that Westbrook isn’t afraid to shoot the ball but they will likely want him to pass more down the road. 24-year old Shaun Livingston will back up Westbrook as long as he can stay healthy. He played in 12 games last season with the Heat and Thunder in which he averaged 19.3 mintues, 5.9 points, 2.3 rebounds and 1.7 assists per game. He has a huge upside. 36-year old Kevin Ollie will also be around at the point. He played in 50 games for the T-Wolves last season and he averaged 17.0 minutes, 4.0 points, 1.5 rebounds and 2.3 assists per game.
