Heck, even Kawhi Leonard (54% eFG), who is known more for his defense, is a better shooter than Westbrook. So is Draymond Green (48% eFG).
Anyone can rack up triple doubles if they handle the ball and chase rebounds as much as Westbrook does. But that doesn't make you an MVP-quality player.
And never mind all of Westbrook's turnovers....

If anyone can rack up triple doubles then why has only 1 player averaged that for a season?
In a few weeks we will have a second player to join that club. I am pretty sure many people thought that breaking the 100 pints in a game would be easier than averaging a triple double for the season due to the fact that you could go off in a game but it would be so much more difficult to sustain a Triple Double throughout an entire season. But low and behold, it's about to be done while leading the league in scoring. With a hugely flawed roster and fighting for home advantage in the first round.
