    He looks a bit faster and more athletic to me. Kind of like a rich man's Russell Westbrook

    Derrick Rose has better body control, but I always thought Russel was more athletic.

    Rose is simply faster and has a better first step. And is a better player, and a MVP. Quit the weak comparisons.

    How was he better?

    Rose is arguably the worst MVP ever.

    Westbrook is a little bit more explosive but hand eye coordination, dribble co-ordination, body control, timing, balance, change of direction, lateral foot movement, off-hand, ability to hold on to the ball, strength, quickness and speed he not as good as Rose. Vertical is probably even - you really can't tell. Unless you stack the deck on explosiveness I just don't see it. What is it that Westbrook does that makes you think he as athletic as a healthy Rose.

    Lol Westbrooks stats would be so horrific had he been in Rose' s situation in Chicago. Like seriously imagine Westbrook as a #1 scoring option and he HAS to run the offense well and play well enough to draw double teams nightly . My ****ing god the bad shots and turnovers.
