Russell Westbrook is harder to defend than pre-injury Derrick Rose

[JohnMax]

Derrick Rose got outplayed by Jeremy Lin in March 2012. Rose looks shorter than Lin. (for those who think Westbrook and Rose are the same size) Lin seems to have no problem staying in front of Rose. (for those who think Rose is faster than Westbrook)

Basically

Westbrooks a bit taller/bigger and is faster + more explosive off 1 leg

pre injury rose was more explosive off 2 feet and was slightly quicker and was also quicker laterally

I think that he is harder to guard but he takes too many opportunities for himself. His style is russell russell them russell russell them. That should not be a point guards mentality.

Russell needs to move to shooting guard and they need to go after a pg this off season. His style wouldnt be so bad if he didnt have the ball all the time

rose was injured multiple times that season, he was never really healthy or got into midseason form.

First you have to see if he's seriously developed a good 3 point shot or if it's an unsustainable streak. Because a Westbrook with a 38%+ 3 pointer is a top-3 player.

For Rose, it's cherry picking to bring up times when he was healthy.
