Bayless vs. Westbrook

Who has the better PG skills? To me, both seem like solid PGs on the fast break, but very limited as playmakers in the half court.

Note: I'm not comparing their scoring (Bayless is obviously a much better scorer), or their defense (where Westbrook is obviously much better). I'm just wondering which player is better at running a team's offense (right now, and in the future).

right now I think Bayless will be the better guy to run an offense. However in about a year or 2 when Westbrook has had a chance to spend a majority of his time at PG he will be the better floor general although not as good of a scorer.

Bayless.

He has the ability to break down his man with the intent of setting up a teammate. I don't necessarily think Westbrook is there yet.

Both are looking to score first, but Bayless can balance that with seeing the open man.

I'd agree. Bayless, to me, always seemed poised with the ball, while Westbrook at times looked out of control.

Bayliss right now. The guy has mad potential.
