If you were starting a team, would you pick Derrick Rose or Russell Westbrook to be your starting point guard?

STRAIGHT TO THE POINT

Derrick Rose and Russell Westbrook both were drafted in 2008 and have enjoyed successful careers. Here's a look:

CATEGORY	ROSE	WESTBROOK
PPG	21.0	19.0
APG	6.8	6.8
RPG	3.9	4.7
FG%	.464	.430
Games missed	33	0
MVP	1	0
All-Star Games	3	2

Melissa Isaacson and Jon Greeberg debate the point in ESPNChicago.com's latest Hot Button.

Part of the debates revolves around Rose's surgically rebuilt ACL and whether he'll come back as strong as ever.

But there is no denying the brilliance Westbrook had on display while scoring 27 points and dealing 11 assists and just one turnover on Tuesday in a Game 1 win over the Miami Heat in the NBA Finals.

But how would Rose benefit from having another scorer like Kevin Durant on his team?
