NBA 2K18: 10 Specific Player Characteristics We Need To See
4. Russell Westbrook's Ferociousness
The player that was better than Thomas in scoring per game in the fourth quarter? That's Russell Westbrook. The explosive point guard of the Oklahoma City Thunder is not so much a freak, but a force of nature. He can will his team to win games.
Westbrook's main feature is that he's everywhere on the court, willing to the anything and everything, which is reflected in his triple-double (over 10 points, rebounds and assists in a single game) average for the season. Westbrook is the first player to do so since the 1960s.
He's fast, he's angry, he's aggressive. If there's one individual player that can win you a basketball game - it should be Russell Westbrook. NBA 2K should therefore give the player enough freedom to be anywhere he wants to be on the court, not just wait behind the three point line like regular point guards do. Just like Thomas, Westbrook needs to be the biggest threat on the court, although not limited to the fourth quarter alone. He's really that good.
