NBA Season 2017-18: Top 5 Transition Scorers

#1 Russell Westbrook - 6.8 points per game

Ever since KD left, Brodie has been a one-man machine.

Yes. It's Brodie at the very top when it comes to ridiculous individual transition offence.

He had the most number of transition possessions (6.7 per game) in the league last year, although scoring just 6.8 transition points per game. This incongruity can be attributed to the infamous 'No help for Russ' Thunder roster where Westbrook often finds himself trying too hard to make things happen, particularly when he’s outnumbered during fast-break situations.

He drew an impressive 23.2% of his offence from transition plays. Between freakish athleticism and the sheer fury with which Russ plays, he is the floor general and the go-to man for the Oklahoma City Thunder, even after acquiring Carmelo Anthony & Paul George last season.

Westbrook's speed-demon tendencies get the Thunder ample amount of fastbreak opportunities but the efficiency often takes a hit. His speed oft-times results in a head-on collision with an obstruction, more than it ends in a hammer dunk.

Keeping the burden of carrying the team aside, Russ is still pretty effective in running down the floor, though many still accuse him of pulling down uncontested rebounds and stat-padding.
