Russell Westbrook is having one of the best seasons at rebounding ever by a point guard

OKLAHOMA CITY, OK - APRIL 29: Russell Westbrook #0 of the Oklahoma City Thunder jumps for the rebound with Zach Randolph #50 and Marc Gasol #33 of the Memphis Grizzlies in Game Five of the Western Conference Quarterfinals during the 2014 NBA Playoffs at Chesapeake Energy Arena on April 29, 2014 in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma.

Russell Westbrook is currently No. 2 in the NBA in assists and No. 3 in scoring among point guards. He’s also by far the best rebounder at the position in the league with 7.7 boards per game, which is a career-high for him and one of the best marks ever by a point guard in league history.

Only Fat Lever, Jason Kidd and Darrell Walker, who played shooting guard too, have averaged better numbers in an NBA season.

Per Basketball Reference, Westbrook is grabbing 12.2 percent of available rebounds when he’s on the floor. That’s better than Marc Gasol, Serge Ibaka, Roy Hibbert and LeBron James.
