It's part of his offensive game, so I don't think it's irrelevant, no.
Except for the fact that it's arguably the least important part of a point guard's offensive repertoire.

Deng is a better offensive player at this point than everyone you named, except KD.
Eh, when Deng is having a great night or on a roll, I'll agree with that, but he isn't that consistent. Durant is easily one of the top 3-5 scoring options in the league. He is very versatile in how he can score points.

Boozer probably is too, though he was horrible last year.
Boozer is kind of like Deng in that when he is on, he's on. When he's off, he's off. Believe he suffered from a hand injury early last year as well.

But yes, Rose is "the guy" on his team while Westbrook is the default no. 2 offensive option. Which, to me, makes it more impressive that his numbers are in the same realm as Rose's.
By that same token, Westbrook has a top 5 threat on the roster to take pressure away from him. He's not counted on to be the number one scoring whereas Rose is counted on as the number one option on his team.
Westbrook is a great young point, I just don't think he's as good as Rose is at this point in time.

Maybe. I'm not saying that a PG that can't rebound is worthless, I'm just saying that if one can, it's just another asset to his game.

It's going to be interesting to see how they progress going forward. They are the same age too. Westbrook had a better PER. I like him a "bit" more but not by much. I have no issue with anyone saying Rose is better than Westbrook, nor Westbrook > Rose.

Westbrook only average less than half an assist more per game than Rose, shot a lower percentage from the free throw line (grant not by much), but the biggest difference is their FG%. Westbrook is a career 42% guy while is a 47% guy. Rose took over 3 times the amount of 3's that Westbrook did and still not only had a higher overall FG%, but a higher 3 point percentage - his career 3-point percentage is better as well, but Westbrook is barely better than Rondo at 3s and Rose has been average so far at 3s though he is improving noticeably in that regard.
