They both have similar stats, and their team sharing similar record, only difference between those two is that Rose is the alpha dog in Chicago while Westbrook has Durant. Which one is better, and which one would you rather have.
Westbrook clutch too,, he scores ALL of OKC 13 points in the 3rd OT vs Nets,, in the OKC he had to share the spotlight with Kevin Durant, but when Durant is out, he proves that he can carried the team,,
Definitely Rose for now. Both guys have shifted to another level this season. I expected Rose to do it. Didn't think Westbrook would explode out of the gate like this.
This is really tough, but I think westbrook proved he could hold his own while durant was out. im takin wb, especially since he already can pass.
since rose has a jumper now i would take him over westbrook. westbrook's jumper isn't as polished as rose at the moment.
can't go wrong with either. i would choose rose b/c he's a better shooter with 3pt range. but westbrook is mad clutch too y'all. he's up there. i would peg him as the best player on the thunder now and not durant. and i don't know if durant can take it back permanently. no clear cut #1 player on the thunder now, which shows the kind of jump westbrook has made and the durant didn't make. if durant made the same jump, the thunder would be scary.
You guys are missing the biggest difference of all between these two. Westbrook is a lockdown defender. When the two teams played, Westbrook held Rose to 3-13 for just 11 pts. Rose, on the other hand, couldn't guard a paper bag. Rose is the much more dynamic scorer at this point, it's really close. I'd take Westbrook by a hair.
Westbrook is really, really good, but for me, it's still Rose. Rose is a serious beast. I think that we're looking at one of those generational players in Rose right now. This mean's scary. I just think that he's the kind of player that scares opponents.
