Thunder fans: If you could only keep WB or Harden, who would you go with?
Westbrook for me and it isn't even close as much as I love the beard.
- One of the best scorers in the league that can create his own shot pretty much any time he wants. Harden has to rely more on others and sets to free him up.
- Freakish athlete with a size and speed advantage against many point guards.
- Seemingly unlimited confidence in his ability but has learned to defer to KD in winning time. Harden seems to get down on himself a bit and will pass up good looks that Russ wouldn't.
- One of fastest players in NBA history to get to 5000 pts, 2000 assists, 1000 rebounds
- improved every season and has a work ethic that is overlooked by a lot of people that don't follow the Thunder very close.
- He plays primarily against the first team of NBA teams where Harden gets most of his minutes and production against the 2nd team.
- 2nd option that can single handed take over a game or keep it close when KD is not scoring.
But why is he so selfish?
He is selfish enough to help make Durant the scoring leader for the past 3 yrs.
But he isn't a true point guard!
On this team with KD, he doesn't need to be. He has been playing PG for 4 years now and I would say that he has been pretty successful.
Don't get me wrong, there are a lot of things that Westbrook does that really pisses me off but I will put up with everything Worstbrook does to get what Bestbrook brings to the Thunder and I have confidence that he will continue to improve and evolve his game as he matures.
