Russell Westbrook is many things at once. A force of nature. Polarizing. Exceptionally talented. Loudly flawed. All of which makes predicting his fit alongside LeBron James, Anthony Davis and a newly overhauled supporting cast a challenging, but fascinating, puzzle for Frank Vogel to solve. At his best, Westbrook is a uniquely versatile player who makes life easier for his teammates. At his worst, he stubbornly ignores his own limitations while sucking the life out of a game. Which version of Westbrook the Lakers see most often will be a huge determining factor in their success this season. - To talk all things Westbrook, the Kamenetzkys brought in Ed Oliver, a D.C. sports media staple and the host of Locked On Wizards.
