Russel Westbrook/Victor Oladipo or Damian Lillard/CJ McCollum

[Dr Seuss]

which back court would you rather have?

....bitches.

Russ+Oladipo and it isnt even close.

Oladipo will finally get some national TV love and people will see he's pretty darn good. He just needs to work on consistency

Lillard By Himself > westbrook and oladipo

[RedBlackAttack]

McCollum is crazy underrated. I think he and Lillard are closer than most people realize. The guy averaged 21 on 45/42/83 last year, with over 4 assists and 3 rebounds a game. That's borderline All-Star level play.

For this year, Westbrook/Dipo, but going forward the Blazers duo for sure. Both are outstanding shooters, elite ball handlers, crafty, terrific footwork. Their games do rely some on quickness/speed but for the most part they have a ton of feel and skill in their game to age very well. Westbrook is a game changer on a totally different level when he's still a freak athlete, but I'm not sure how long that'll be. Oladipo isn't that special, good player but doesn't move the needle too much.

Basically, it's Westbrook >> Lillard > McCollum >>>> Oladipo.


Give me the two guys in the middle, no offense to Dipo who is a pretty good player. He just isn't on the other three players' level. McCollum is closer to Westbrook than Oladipo is to McCollum, imho.

Weird way of putting it, but true imo.

He's a great player sometimes I think he forces his offense too much. Sometimes he would rather throw up a bad shot then pass to his open teammate. I'm sure he will learn though.

Yeah that's fair, in terms of talent I'd agree the Blazers duo as a whole is probably a hair above OKC's. I just think if I'm building a team from scratch for just this season, if I'm getting a balanced, high level supporting cast for both, I think Westbrook gives my team a bit higher ceiling in the playoffs.

I've thought that about CJ for a while. I just hope he hasn't peaked yet. He needs to be more consistent. Sometimes he just completely disappears. He has more offensive tools than Lillard for sure. Lillard can't handle the ball as well.
