Westbrook is averaging more turnovers (6.0) than everyone in the league not named Kevin Porter Jr. (6.3).

He has missed 19 of 23 3-pointers so far (17.4 percent). The silver lining? At least he’s off to a better long-range start than Damian Lillard (17.1) and De’Aaron Fox (16.7).

The not-so-silver lining? Sacramento’s Buddy Hield, the player who came so close to being traded to the Lakers, instead of Westbrook, and whose spacing would certainly come in handy right about now, is shooting 44.2 percent from beyond the arc while taking 10.8 attempts per game (second in the league behind Golden State’s Curry).

The massive divide between the Lakers’ net rating when he’s on the court (minus-9.3) and off (plus-12.7) is surely enough to keep Lakers coach Frank Vogel up at night.
