The Supersonics probably could have selected a better player with the 4th pick in the NBA Draft last night. Westbrook fills a need for the Sonics as Luke Ridnour and Earl Watson have not stepped up. He will likely get to start right away for the Sonics as they have no illusions of making the playoffs this season. Westbrook played in 75 games (35 starts) at UCLA and he averaged 8.3 points, 2.4 rebounds, 2.5 assists and 1.0 steal per game. This was likely a reach but at least the Sonics picked for need.
