To begin, a bricked shot is essentially any attempt that clanks off the backboard or rim without going in. There’s no official statistic measuring that, so I decided to pick 5 random games where he shot a lot and use that as a baseline percentage. It’s not perfect, but it’s the best we can realistically do.

After those 5 games, I determined that 29.96% of Westbrook’s misses were bricks. Westbrook has missed 11,604 shots in his career. 0.2996 * 11,604 = 3,476.5584, which we’ll round down to 3,476.

There are at least 10 different brick sizes, but we are going to go with a standard modular brick - 3 5/8" x 7 5/8" x 2 1/4". We are going to plan for 7 bricks per sq. ft.

With 3,476 bricks, we need to determine how much wall area they will cover. Each brick covers approximately 0.1429 sq. ft.

Multiplying 3,476 bricks by 0.1429 sq. ft. per brick, you get a total wall coverage of approximately 496.57 sq. ft.

At 7 bricks per sq. ft., 3,476 bricks will cover 496.57 sq. ft.

    Westbrook’s project could be classified as an outbuilding or maybe an ADU in certain areas.
