Westbrook can score and he is someone who can command the ball while LB is not on the floor. One thing the Lakers were definitely missing is that when LB is not on the floor the office just dies. A rotation of LB, Westbrook and AD with at least 2 of them on the floor at all times give them nice firepower. Russ ability to dish, gain rebounds and penetrate goes hand in hand with LB and AD abilities. If they get JJ Redick then they have at least one more knock down shooter on the wing. I believe you are actually going to see LB with the ball less and Russ with the ball more utilizing his strength better. It will also allow LB to cut his mins a lot.
