How does the Russell Westbrook grade out for the Washington Wizards right now?
Not only is Russell Westbrook an odd fit for the Los Angeles Lakers right now but the team gave up three valuable pieces for him. Kyle Kuzma, Kentavious Caldwell-Pope, and Montrezl Harrell were sent to Washington and have contributed to a strong start in D.C.
Where we stand right now, the Washington Wizards are one of the top-three teams in the Eastern Conference. Who had that coming into the year?
Bradley Beal did not request a trade out of town and the front office turned Westbrook into some productive players with experience. This has worked out well for Washington early on.
It is no surprise that Beal is leading the team with 22.7 points per game but Harrell is second on the team scoring 16.6 a night coming off the bench. Harrell has started just three games this season.
