What will Russell Westbrook do this year with KD jumping on the bandwagon?

KD officially jumped on the bandwagon. He left one team that folded in a playoff series to join another team that folded in a playoff series. One thing is for sure, next season will be interesting.

With KD leaving, and assuming Westbrook stays, what kind of stats will he be able to put up being "the man" for an entire season? He will be able to do his thing without looking over his shoulder at Durant. Westbrook is a tremendous athlete that can take over a game, but can he do it on his own for an entire season?

If Westbrook can stay healthy and not run out of gas, he could get close to averaging a triple double. The above link shows that Westbrook has averaged 28.0 ppg, 8.4 apg and 7.1 rpg in the 61 games he has played without KD. Disclaimer: I have not researched myself, but it is on the internet so it has to be true.

The closest LBJ came to averaging a triple double was in 2009-2010 when he averaged 29.7 ppg, 8.6 apg and 7.3 rpg. He also averaged 26.8 ppg, 7.3 apg, and 8.0 rpg in 2012-2013.

What do you think Westbrook will average next season if he stays in OKC?
