Russell Westbrook Ranked No. 7 on Sports Illustrated List
The recipient of a master's degree in business management from Oxford Brookes University, Craig Luschenat is a basketball player development specialist who aspires to work in the National Basketball Association (NBA) one day. In the summer of 2016, Craig Luschenat worked as an intern with Integrity Hoops and helped train former NBA MVP Russell Westbrook.
Sports Illustrated released its Top 100 NBA Players list in September, and Westbrook, who won MVP in 2017, came in at number 7 behind Giannis Antetokounmpo and ahead of Chris Paul. LeBron James, Kevin Durant, Steph Curry, James Harden, and Anthony Davis comprised the top five, in that order. Westbrook was ranked sixth in last year's list and averaged 25.4 points, 10.1 rebounds, and a league-leading 10.3 assists through 80 games in 2017-18.
Westbrook has played at least 80 games in each of the past three seasons, but his durability will be tested this season as he underwent arthroscopic knee surgery on September 12 to remedy feelings of stiffness in his right knee. He was expected to be re-evaluated in four weeks.
