NBA 2018-19: Top 10 point guards going into the new season

#2 Russell Westbrook

Oklahoma City Thunder v Utah Jazz - Game Six

The Brody is primed for another humongous season this time around, as the Thunder front office managed to add talent, trim the fat and reduce their luxury tax bill with a series of shrewd moves that have put them in a better position this season than they were in, last year.

Despite a chance that he'll miss the first couple of games of the season, the Brody is still going to have his hat in the MVP contender bag if the Thunder manage to win 50+ games and he racks up his third straight season with a triple-double average.

Neither scenario is too unrealistic, considering that the Thunder now have a functional bench, a young power forward-center who signed a new deal and the likes of Paul George and Steven Adams to pick up the slack when he's not around on the offensive end.
