The Importance of Westbrook’s Leadership for the Clippers: More Than Just Stats

There is no denying that Westbrook’s services are extremely important for the Clippers. While his raw stats aren’t earth-shattering (11.1 points, 5.1 rebounds, 4.6 assists, 45.4% FG, 27.3% 3P), his influence as the team’s vocal leader is.

Westbrook repeatedly helps the Clippers out of lethargic phases with his fighting mentality and energy. Last but not least, the Clippers played mediocre basketball in Westbrook’s absence (6-7 without Westbrook).

His teammates also appreciate Westbrook’s lack of starting minutes. “We just owe it to him to make it work that way,” said teammate Paul George.
