A somewhat surprising pick by Sonics considering the players left on the board, but reports had Seattle general manager enamored with Russell Westbrook because of his athleticism and his on-the-ball defense.
Westbrook is certainly not ready to take over the reins at point guard, but will be allowed the learn the ropes from fellow UCLA product Earl Watson.
It's certainly an interesting start to the draft, and I'm interested to see what big man Seattle picks at 24 to help shore up the void in the middle.
Here's some clips of Westbrook in action, thanks to fellow News Tribune staffer Victor Yoshida.
