    westbrook

    kid is top 3-5 player in league if he can get attitude in check and cut down on turnovers

    more explosive than a healthy rose

    Westbrook by far

    Rose is Allen Iverson II one dimensional but with a great attitude
    Rose cannot rebound, cannot defend, not a great passer

    Westbrook no question in my mind. Don't know how it's a real debate.

    no one was singing this tune last year when d. rose was the MVP singlehandedly carrying the bulls, and westbrook was fighting with durant on the sidelines and jacking up terrible shots....

    if rose and westbook are both healthy on their A game its definitely a debate, how can you say otherwise?

    I wish I could hear what everyone thought last year at this time. I can't remember who I liked better last year to be honest.

    Westbrook wears Nikes, so he isn't going to break down like Rose.

    At full strength Rose is/was better. But Rose may never be full strength again, and given that Rose is out probably for a year, of course anyone would take Westbrook now.

    Westbrook. The guy isn't as fragile and he is taking making huge strides it seems like every month.

    The guy has gotten even better than he was last year.

    Only thing Westbrook really lacks is effective decision-making, which results in turnovers. Other than that, he is an explosive point guard.

    Rose might have reached his full strength but Westbrook keep's taking strides every year. Next year's Westbrook is gonna be better than this year's and 2014 Westbrook is going to be better than 2013 Westbrook, barring any injuries.....but Nikes got his back

    D rose absolutely. Westbrook almost shot OKC out of a win tonight. D rose would have gone to the rim for atleast foul shots.

    cant stand these point guards like westbrook, athletic freak and he pull up from midrange over and over again

    I think Westbrook has more room for improvement compared to Rose which is scary.

    The reason you didnt hear this debate last year is because westbrook wasnt anywhere near the player last year that he is now. His makeup is still questionable. But i would still take westbrook over a healthy rose. And that has really nothing to do with rose being hurt. Westbrook is better than a healthy Rose
