curry vs westbrook

[Haks]

Who would you take?
I take curry. He has shown he can lead a team adequately and demands probably the third most attention from a defense in the NBA after Durant/lebron and still puts up 23/8 on 46% shooting

[russwest0]

Russell Westbrook is better at basically everything but shooting.

Are you SRS right now?

[Random_Guy]

Individually Westbrook is better, but curry is easier to build around and would be a easier player to build a championship team with

[KDthunderup]

If Currys jumper isnt falling he doesn't bring much else to the game, whilst you can at the very least expect WB to bring hustle and energy

Curry is a better scorer passer playmaker shooter efficient less eratic than Westbrook whilst Westbrook is a much better defender but other than defence and intangibles he isn't better than curry

Correct.

[AintNoSunshine]

they're vastly different so it depends on their supporting cast.

Everything else the same, Westbrook is the better player of course.

not a better scorer, and not a better playmaker
Russell plays like 30 minutes a game look at his numbers
hes way more energetic
better defense
better rebounder probably the best at the PG position
he has the killer mentallity to
Russell is the best PG in the NBA right now

[Jlamb47]

id take Westbrook btw

[Warfan]

Scoring? Passing and Playmaking? How is not atleast arguably better?

Stephs faces more defensive attention and doesn't have the best player in the league to open up his game for him, and is still much more efficient. He even finishes at the rime at a higher rate than russ, albeit he takes less shots at the rim and is a much better mid range shooter and well a better shooter in general. Also stephs wouldn't take away shots from the best player in the league and he doesn't forces up terrible shots like russ because he cant control his 'alpha' and 'killer' instincts. Steph is one of the if not the most clutch player in the league. And came off of some very good postseason play last year.

Lol at the people acting like it isn't close

[RoseCity07]

Westbrook without giving it a second thought.

[dabigbaws]

westbrook. he's on a minute restriction and is coming just shy of triple doubles basically every game

[Jailblazers7]

Pretty tough but I think I'd take Westbrook. They bring similar value to the team as far as production but the leadership and energy that Russell adds is so underrated. That dude goes all out the whole game and gets his teammates to up their effort as well. A great "lead by example" guy.

I like Curry but Goatbrook is a different beast. Curry can get his own crowd rowdy too even when he's off, by knocking down a 3 but that's about all he can do to ignite his team. Westbrook can ignite the crowd/team in a million ways.
