OT: Is Russell Westbrook an elite PG?

[waldo7239117]

Westbrook is not elite, Lin kicked him out of the elite status and Lin is now elite...

Don't blame the big 3 on Rondo's inability to score. That is his fault. And its not their fault that he is a horrible free throw shooter either.

I don't get the reasoning at all behind not looking at the leading scorer at the position as an elite player at the position.

Kobe, Durant, Love, Howard...all leading scorers at their position...all are elite players at their position...except Westbrook who isn't as good as a guy not in the allstar game?

I don't get it...but its your opinion. That I can respect.

Not blaming anything on the Big 3, not what I said. And I even said it's on Rondo to improve as a player. But having to never be relied on as a scorer has hindered his game a bit, I don't think there's really any denying that. But like I said, & you said, it's on him to get better. I don't know if it's laziness or what it is, but it's high time he got off his ass & started taking 1,000 jumpers a day because the Big 3 aren't gonna be around much longer.

Westbrook is an elite scoring guard. I feel he's more of a combo than a full fledged PG, like his counterparts. He wasn't a PG at UCLA. That was Collison, so he's got more of that scorer's mentality because of that. I just have a hard time calling him an elite PG when his ast/to ratio is one of the worst in the NBA. It'd be one thing if he was in the top 10 in assists, but he's not.

Westbrook, Parker, Nash, and Rondo are all top 20 players. Unless you consider the "elite" to only be first ballot hall-of-famers, it is fair to say all of those players/PG's are elite. It really depends on how you define the word. It's incredibly subjective.

I hope you are not serious...

I don't like Westbrook he is a punk just like Rondo, Rose needs to stop training with him in the off season.

 

[Diddy1122]

It's amazing that people, myself included at times, completely forget how good Tony Parker is.

 

[Bukkake]

Name me 5 PGs better than him.

I can only think of three, maybe four. Rose, CP3, Nash, and Deron. No other PG has a case over him.

Trust me I'm not ... Lin is playing good, but I don't think he's gunna keep it up. What's he aveging, 7 turnovers a game?

Let's see him do it for another year or so before we start comparing him to Russell Westbrook.

Westbrook has helped to make Rose a better basketball player. But in what way is he a punk?
