Western Conference Case Study

This just proves he is the best by beating Kobe Bryant who is considered also as one of the best players of all time.

The third in our trio of best current players in the game could come from a dozen different superstars. A handful are salty seasoned veterans, with the rest emerging from a crop of young talent.

On Tuesday, Duke Blue Devils freshman Harry Giles declared for the 2017 NBA Draft. Having entered the college basketball season as a then sure-fire lock to be a lottery selection, Giles' current stock has him going anywhere from the middle of the first round to the middle of the second.

Russell Westbrook manages to get his team the playoffs. The reason why this important is because his team is a really under average team in the in the toughest conference which is the western conference. This player has put on an incredible performance this season. He has

So, here are my first batch of waiver-wire players who could impact your fantasy basketball squad going forward:

It does not come as a surprise to see the Sixers pick up both players’ fourth-year options. They both played an integral role in helping the team win basketball games over the years and ultimately making the NBA playoffs this season.

Russell Westbrook finished the game with an amazing triple-double production of 20 points, 15 rebounds and 10 assists, making the two-time All-Star Game MVP the NBA’s leader in triple-double performance.

Steph Curry is one of the best point guards in the NBA. I chose to do Steph Curry because he is a great, hard-working, determined, joyful, and an amazing basketball player. He has broken many of records and plays for one of the best teams in the league, the Golden State Warriors. Steph is very passionate about what he does and works very hard in practices and on the court, and most importantly, he never gives up.

Kevin Durant: 18,000 career points, 4x nba scoring champion, winner of the mvp, 2 olympic gold medals… No NBA Title. Kd knows what he wants and deserves a title.

Introduction: Since the departure of Kevin Durant leaving the Oklahoma City Thunder (OKC for short) to the 73-9 Golden State Warriors, Russell Westbrook now a lone star in Oklahoma has been taking the league by storm averaging a triple double this season with (31.4 pts, 10.6 reb, 10.3 ast).This feat haven’t happened in over 55 years since “The Big O” Oscar Robertson who played for the Cincinnati Royals averaging a triple double in the 1961-62 season with a staggering average of 30.8 points, 11.4 assists, and 12.5 rebounds. However, by acknowledging the fact that this output hasn’t happened in over 55 years, I believe that James Harden in the Houston Rockets will win the MVP race. As much as I like Russell Westbrook to win the 2017 MVP award,

There has been a lot of talk in the sports world about how loaded this year's NBA Draft will be. UCLA freshman Lonzo Ball and Washington freshman Markelle Fultz are the two front runners leaving NBA scouts hesitant to decide who should be the number one pick. I believe Ball should be the number one pick in the 2017 NBA Draft because of his ability to change the momentum of the game without scoring himself and his determination to win. Some analysts say Ball only had more success this year than Fultz because of his better supporting cast, but Ball, in previous years, has proven that he can win with any team.

Williams will join what appears to be a crowded back-court (until Kobe retires) that includes; Jordan Clarkson, Bryant, DeAngelo Russell, and Nick Young.

The clock is ticking and you have both Lebron and Kobe on your team. Two second left in the Nba Finals. Who would take the last shot. Kobe would obviously be chosen because Kobe is better than Lebron. He is better because of rings, success, and statistics.

Barring him leaving (something I don’t think he will do) Westbrook will finish his career as the franchise’s all-time leader in almost every statistical

There are plenty of other favorites you could argue for in this article. Newly acquired Patrick Marleau will prove to be a boon in Toronto's salary when the time comes to sign the rookies, and there's almost no way he'll live up to that contract.
