(Photo by Ezra Shaw/Getty Images)One particular NBA scout explained to Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel why he would advise teams to avoid Westbrook at this point in his career.I wouldnt touch him in a million years. You cant rely on him in terms of whats going to happen. Yeah, hell have, you know, great games. Sure. But he cant shoot. He plays his own way. Hes not going to fit into a system. He doesnt really defend, the scout said.I mean, yeah, hell put up some numbers and hell win you some games. In terms of truly building a winning team, you dont get him on your team.Westbrook is still a productive player statistically. He averaged 15.2 points, 6.7 assists, 5.4 rebounds and 1.3 steals per performance for the Kings last season. It is fair to question how positively he impacts winning at this point in his career though, as hes spent the past several years bouncing from team to team.Ultimately someone will likely sign him to provide some backcourt depth, but thats not guaranteed to happen. There is a possibility that weve already seen the last of Westbrook on an NBA court.This story will be updated.Like HEAVY's content?Be sure to follow us.This article was originally published on HEAVYThe post NBA Scout Blasts Russell Westbrook Amid Uncertainty Regarding NBA Future appeared first on HEAVY.
