Nolen is the one "attacking the tin" as Bill Raftery would say. And drawing fouls which is key. He went right after Kalin Lucas down the stretch tonight when somebody had to. I agree with Mike.

He's not a great shooter, but he does a lot of other things well on the offensive end of the court. Westbrook is a good player, but i'd like you to show me a highlight of westbrook in which he isnt shying away from contact...he doesn't go up strong and draw fouls, he's only been to the line 39 times this year, thats 4th on the team, awful low for a team's leading scorer. Also, read the article a little closer....one of the points i make is about nolen fitting with the offense, you can't tell me you'd rather have westbrook driving and kicking as opposed to nolen, especially when one is clearly better at it than the other...

Westbrook is the contact loving, free-wheeling, trick shot artist. Nolen is extremely limited offensively, regardless of two good games in 3 seasons.
