Ignore his worst category (turnovers) and he's worth -2.11.
At 37 he still stuffs the box — 12 points, 4.7 boards, 5.5 assists and 1.2 steals — and that counting-stat density is rare this late. The 2.8 turnovers and 68% foul shooting are the permanent tax, making him a punt-TOV/punt-FT special. Draft the volume, punt the percentages, and accept the games line in the mid-50s.
Russell Westbrook enters 2026-27 at #218 on our board — Round 19 value in a standard 12-team draft, projected for 12.3 points, 4.7 rebounds and 5.5 assists in 25.8 minutes a night. The value is built on assists and steals, with turnovers the soft spot in the profile. He's a natural fit for punt-turnovers builds — take that category out of the equation and his value climbs. Availability is the swing factor — we expect about 53 games, which is priced into his draft value.
