Russel Westbrook or Damian Lillard

[PistonsFan#21]

Who's the better player and who would you rather have on your team?

[LoneyROY7]

Westbrook has a higher ceiling if he's playing the way he can, but I'll take Damian Lillard on my team.

Lillard is a much smarter player and he's a dead-eye shooter in the clutch.

[Le Shaqtus]

Only two thing Westbrook has on Lillard is athleticism and defense.

So I'm taking Lillard.

Lillard is only a sophomore and is still developing as a player. He's obviously had a better learning curve thus far when compared to Westbrook' first 2 seasons.

Given that Westbrook has ego issues that draw comparisons to Steve Francis, I'd be comfortable in saying that I like Lillard's chances of becoming a superior player.

gimme DLil

[TheMarkMadsen]

D Lil gets his and keeps his teammates involved consistently.

[veilside23]

Lillard for me ...

Lillard if he can improve his defense

You say athleticism like it's merely run and jump, or that he's Rudy Gay (as an athlete) and not Russell Westbrook.

Westbrook is quite possibly the best athlete in the NBA and that athleticism allows him to reel triple doubles and average 22/7/6, even with all his faults. It's why he's one of the best rebounding guards, one of the best at thefts, how he gets to the line better than almost everyone, and so on. But yeah, he also can run real fast and jump real high.

Whichever guy had the better game most recently....isn't that how it works?

[comerb]

ISH constantly overrating players who make a few plays in the clutch. Same thing happened with Rose.

When you look at minute per minute production, Lilard is not better than Westbrook and the gap is pretty notable.

So one series and all of a sudden Lillard is the best PG in the game. Cool story.

[Genaro]

Only two thing Westbrook has on Lillard is athleticism and defense.

So I'm taking Lillard.

And you said like those things are minor skills and not what makes WB better than Lillard

Except for 3pt shooting Lillard has nothing on WB. Gimme WB any day of the week.

[JohnFreeman]

Lillard, he is not an idiot.
