What's westbrook's doing better than drose?

His statline:

22.7 pts, 8.1 assists, 4.9 rebounds, 28 percent from 3, 44 percent overall field goal percentage, 11 blocks total for the season, 2 steals a game

Drose's statline:

24.3 pts, 8.4 assists, 4.8 rebounds, 38 percent from 3, 46 percent overall fg percentage, 17 blocks total for the season, 1 steal a game


So westbrook is getting more steals a game, big deal. 

They're point guards and you bring up blocks? What about getting to the ft line, which Westbrook has 248 (8 per game) and Rose has 147 (5.25), and Russell shoots them better at 87% to Rose's 76%

I'm not even saying Russell is definitively, I think they're close enough you can argue either way, but funny you cherrypicked those stats and left some out too.

All you have to do is think about switching roles.

If you put Westbrook on the Bulls, we wouldn't be a better team, same as Chris Paul.

But if you put Rose on THOSE teams ...

  He's one of the best PGs in the NBA, and while he does have his faults w. his shooting, he makes up for it with his play-making ability and defense.

because the last time he played without three HOF'ers it was a 28-54. and the ten minutes per game added wouldn't have equated to the skyrocketing in assists etc...

Did you ever think that maybe Rondo has improved his game since he was a 20-year-old rookie?

[hymen man]

Switching teams is stupid because that $!#% is farfetched and not gonna happen, so why speculate? Opinions will stay the same no matter what.

Because Marbury does not have the intangibles Rose has. Rose is like Kobe and Marbury is VC when it comes to work ethic.

I'd take Chris Paul in a heartbeat, but I wouldn't want any other pg running my squad. D. Rose all day.

People got so used to saying Paul & DWill were the two best pg's in the league, that it's hard for them to stop. Why are people assuming Paul is going to get healthier? Why are the same people pointing out the bad defense Rose plays not saying anything about Paul's bad man to man defense? If you've watched a handful of the 30 games Chris Paul has played in this season, you can clearly see the difference between the pre & post knee injury CP3. He hasn't fallen off, but he's not the clear cut #1 that he once was.

If I'm starting a team there isn't a player in the NBA I would pick to play point guard over D. Rose.


But if a need to win a championship right now gimme Chris Paul.
