Sam Presti apparently knows more about basketball than I do

I know, I know it's hard to believe. But I think it's true.

Presti picked Russell Westbrook very high in the draft and projected him to be a point guard. Throughout Russ's rookie season, I would occasionally gripe about his (a) taking too many shots and (b) not taking care of the ball.

But wow, look at him now. He should be the Western Conference player of the month for February.

Over 11 games, he has averaged 18.8 points on 46% shooting, 6.6 rebounds, 10 assists and only 2.3 turnovers while playing about 36 minutes.

That is big time point guarding my friends.
