I don't know what the stats say, but I know Westbrook is either well-regarded defensively or regarded as having the potential to develop into a top notch defensive player. It was just college, but Westbrook was very good on defense at UCLA.
All that said, yeah, I have consistently heard about how good Rondo is on defense, and I think it's going to take a little bit for Westbrook to catch him (if he ever does).
Westbrook is definitely a much better scorer and shooter, though, as mentioned, and that's now (as he develops further, he will probably far outpace Rondo in that respect).
