The Thunder are 12-7 on the season and Westbrook has started 11 of these 19 games, placing OKC at the 5th position in the Western Conference currently.
Characteristically, he is averaging a near-triple-double this year, posting 23.2 points, 9.5 rebounds and 9.3 assists per game, and just posted his second triple-double of the season when OKC faced the Nuggets(the first one coming against the Golden State Warriors).
What's even scarier is that he's shooting a career-high 46% from the field in the 11 games he has started this season, and looks like he has found his shooting groove.
