1. Russell Westbrook is insanely talented.

If you watch Russell Westbrook play you fall in love. He knows how to shoot, but isn’t afraid to be physical in the paint.

Westbrook is an all around player. The guy has averaged a triple double in 3 straight seasons. He has carried the Thunder on his back.

Now obviously Westbrook brings some great scoring ability, but one of his greatest assets to the Celtics is his rebounding. Boston has been in need of some rebounding help.

Now obviously you hope that big men like Enes Kanter and Robert Williams will help out on the boards, but having a great rebounder like Westbrook is always a bonus.

Also Westbrook’s physicality would be welcomed. When he is on the fast break there is no stopping the point guard. There are times where you think he is going to tear the rim off of the backboard and shatter the glass with how strong he is.

Having Russell Westbrook on the Celtics would definitely be fun to watch.
