Youre comparing Nash to Price... I hope not... I can understand some of the biases toward this generation of players. but alot of it is just oldtimer talk... And Price wouldnt be an upgrade over half the league in todays NBA... and no way he starts over Westbrook for that OKC team sir.. No matter how bad you wanna disect Westbrook's game ... Westbrook is the heart and soul of that team... As he goes the team goes...
Hill is somewhat serviceable, but Thabeet is a pure bum and the bust of the decade. I wouldn't be surprised if he's out of the league after his rookie contract.
I'm not comparing Nash to Price. I'm using your arguments against Price and pointing out that they are also applicable to Nash.....yet Nash is far from a 6th man. If it were, you'd be able to provide a good counter argument. Fact is, right now, Westbrook is a poor perimeter shooter, doesn't have good court vision, and has questionable basketball IQ. I think you're confusing Westbrook with Durant.
No seriously... Of course he's not the best player but Westbrook makes life easier for his teammates and life hard for his coaches/teammates on a bad night.... Hence the term Heart and soul...
