Is Russell Westbrook Better Than Kevin Durant?: Fantasy Analysis

Kevin Durant is one of the games top five talents and he is only getting better.

In fantasy basketball however this is a more intriguing query.

If you simply follow box scores you may indeed think that Russell Westbrook is the better player as he routinely has the more eye popping lines, putting up two triple doubles so far this season and narrowly missing four more.

Westbrook is 12th in the NBA in scoring and is 8th in assists, and is ranked 13th overall in the Yahoo! fantasy basketball game based on totals and is ranked 20th overall based on averages.

There is no denying that Russell Westbrook has taken an enormous leap this year and that some have a valid and logical rationale for asking if Westbrook is better than Durant.

The answer is still no.

We are still talking about a top five player vs a top twenty-five to thirty player.

No one, and I mean no one would include Westbrook in the NBA’s top five players overall, everyone would include Kevin Durant.

‘Nuff Said’.
