I love Wesbrook but top 15 is more apt, than top 10 ...but it's close I say he may even be top 12 ... if EVERYONE is healthy
He's 23.

I'd argue that Westbrook is better than both. First off your rating bynum of pure potential so your already saying brook is better, and Im pretty sure even the blazers don't think Aldrige is a top 10 player, would you really blow up a playoff team the year the west was open if you have a top 10 dude. I think not.
But honestly this is fairly subjective and I do see where your coming from.
Replace the 2 then.
Put Harden and Kobe in there. Heck, put Manu in there too.
^ that ginobli gif is intense, tbh
Yeah, this gets tricky, for this year I'd probably still give Westbrook the nod. Kobe's in cause he carried that team but Manu didn't really do much and Westbrook was to me atleast better than harden.
that's very true and I can't argue with that, but the way I see it if you had to pick one of those guys to lead your team I'd pick Westbrook. So atleast for this situation I feel he's better. But you know to each his own.
Pretty much sums it up.
who knew a such a poor schtick could have such a long shelf life. i couldn't imagine anyone spends more time thinking about durant than harlem.
Yeah, it's hard to do a top 10 because everyone interprets it thier own way.
It's like most of the spurs fans thinking about kobe and la.

Westbrook is my favorite player on OKC, but he's not a top 10 player, even this year. Harden, sure is a top 5 SG.
While Ibaka/Perkins are the best shot blocker, post defender, they give OKC NOTHING offensively.
OKC got 23 points not from Harden, Durant, RW, Spurs got 53 or 55.....
He's only 23.
Unfortunately we run into a team of destiny, and a team that has no flaws the past 2 years.
if the thunder keep the team together, they are going to own the west for many years to come. they are still young and once they figure out how to play defense, the thunder will dominate.
Ibaka is a good shot blocker, not so good post defender.
As for Thabo, he is a pretty good on the ball defender, why Fisher is playing more minutes over him, i have no clue. Stick him on Manu. He won't shut him down, but he'll make it tough on him.
LeBron has a top 5 player in Wade, and a top 13-15 player in Bosh, at best it evens out with the Big 3 from each team including Durant/James.
And Durant is 4 years younger then James.
Players i'd take over Westbrook, if LeBron nut sucker thinks he is.
James
Durant
Dirk
Kobe
Wade
Love
Parker
Rose
Paul
Deron
Dwight
Melo
Aldridge
They gotta get rid of Westbrook and their coach.
Harlem is trolling tbh.
He ain't.
Brooks put Sefolosha on Parker early in the game. You probably didn't notice because Tony was running circles around him. Sefolosha might be able to hang with TOSBs like Kobe, but quick feet is a problem.
Now, on the comparison, the Thunder are simply deeper. I know the Spurs are making Westbrook look like , but if you were to erase the games against the Spurs (both RS and playoffs), Westbrook has been phenomenal for OKC. And again, the Thunder bench >>>>>>>> anything on the Heat bench. It's not close. Cook nailed 3s all season long, no comparison with an old dude in one leg like Miller. Sefolosha is the younger Battier. Heat has no post defender like Perkins. None, not even Bosh. Turiaf and Haslem would beg to have Ibaka's jumpshot. It's not close, that's why I thought OKC would beat Miami if you guys made it to the Finals.
Yeah, they got no answer for TP, he ate them up in the last 2 RS games, and so far, dude is a beast. One of my favorite players to watch, extremely underrated. I'd stick him on Manu, and hope his length can bother him a little bit.
I don't think it's as bad as you make it out to be with Harden off.
- The Thunder will never become a dominant defensive team with a big 3 of Durant/Harden/Westbrook, they're all average, or worse, defensively..
-90% of the posters here downplay Chris Bosh's absence, but now he's a top 15 player in the NBA?..

Probably won't be, to be fair, not many top defensive teams out there. When it's crunch-time, they turn it up defensively.- The Thunder will never become a dominant defensive team with a big 3 of Durant/Harden/Westbrook, they're all average, or worse, defensively..

- They can get by without him vs Boston, they aint beating SA without Bosh.
- Stacked, hardly, they have a good roster, unfortunately they are playing a really, really good team with no holes who has the best coach in the league. If you go big, they can throw Duncan and Diaw or Splitter. If you go small, they can throw out TP, Neal, Manu, Jackson/Leonard, Duncan. They can match any lineup we throw out there.
- Deron Williams plays with no one, that team is crap. I will wait to see how he does coming back from injury.
Really? I'm pretty sure that Kobe was slightly more protected with Shaq et all in the early 2000's.
