Hmmmm tough choice. I like Westbrook's game, but he's too much of a headcase for me. I'd probably take Harden if given the choice.

Westbrook is a freakish athlete though, the sky is the limit for him if he can hold it together.

Yeah I think I'd just take Westbrook bc like you said skts the limit bc of his freakish athleticism. If he gets his head on straight he could be a Derrick rose type player. ( bout same build n athleticism)

I would also take Harden over Jennings; that isn't the debate though.

Lakers lose again, and the sky is falling in LA. I'm being patient. Yea, it sucks, but I'm assuming they'll gel and work these issues out before May.

Jennings actually looked really good last night, as well. Five assists and five steals in the third quarter. 21, 13, and 6 for the night.

You anti-Harden folk will look for literally anything to avoid accepting the truth. Brandon Jennings? "Mo Williams has scored a 40 point game"?

You guys are pathetically reaching. Harden is light years better than both of them.

Your slobbing of Harden is just as pathetic. We provided statistics comparing the 2 players, and Jennings clearly has better numbers and they are almost exactly the same age. You've just been watching too much ESPN and theyve been telling you how amazing he is and you eat it up. Hes a solid player, but excuse me for not going gaga over a career bench player averaging like 13 3 n 3. When he plays an entire season as a starter not being aided by playing against 2nd teamers and having teams worry about 2 other superstars on his team, then maybe ill agree hes a great player. Until then ill wait to proclaim him as great

Jennings has a worse fg%,ft%, and 3 point%. Significantly worse in fg% and ft%. Jennings averaged 19 PTS on 17 shots. Harden averaged 17 pts on 10 shots. those numbers tell me everything I need to know. And we are not even talking about how much better on defense harden is compared to jennings

Please tell me more about how much you watch Jennings and Harden particularly on the defensive end.

Point is, theyre comparable, very comparable and Jennings doesnt even sniffff the top 25 in the league. If at the end of the year Harden continues to tear it up without the aid of playing against 2nd teamers alongside 2 legit superstars then ill agree with you that hes a great player. Until then, hes just a player who cashed in on his hype and signed a deal worth way too much IMO

Uhh Westbrook 23 ppg, 4rb, 5 as, almost 2 steals per game

Harden last year: 16 ppg, 4rb, 3as, 1 steal per game.

That's not "much difference". Not to mention Westbrook dropped 43 on the Heat in the Finals.
