If you had a fantasy keeper team who would you want on your team the most and why?

very similar players in all categories, but I'd favor Westbrook just because of his rebounding.

The thing that I think is key is that while Westbrook "might" have a slight statistical advantage in a couple of cats, he'll always be 2nd fiddle to Durant while they play on the same team.

Wall on the other hand will be THE man in Washington.

Does that tip the scale in the favor of Wall?

Wall can certainly be better but at the same pick with both available, Westbrook is more of the obvious choice. I can see Wall having a higher FG% and steals possibly....but Westbrook's stats besides his FG% aren't bad either. Plus you can count on Westbrook being more consistent. Even though John Wall has more upside, he's a rookie and it's not like Westbrook doesn't have upside either. He doesn't get you 3's though. I'm not a huge fan of either to be honest. I think Blake Griffin is the best candidate if you want a rookie this year.

Westbrook...easily. Even as a second fiddle, Westbrook put up 18-8-5 and has room for improvement. Wall could be better but until he proves it, it is kind of a bad gamble to pass up Westbrook. And I doubt Wall is ever going to average more than 20-22 a game, even as THE man.

And I don't see Durant as a deterrent at all for Westbrook. In fact, quite the opposite. Having a reliable scorer like Durant should only help Westbrook's assist totals.
