There is no comparison talent wise. The similarity is taking over games more selfishly than doing so within the context of team play, but totally different situations.
Earl took over control of the team from his coach, he was competing against GREAT OG big east teams & though they stole a couple big Ws mostly UConn was way over-matched talent-wise & coaching wise. Earl was the only player on the squad near the talent level of the top 2-3 guys starting for the rest of that league. Earl's worst year in assists was better than CV's best and his athleticism and shooting were NBA level. I don't recall many games were he jacked up a ridiculous amount of shots and he was never a 'volume' scorer.  IF JC had come along in Earl's sophomore year like he did for Cliff, 51% Earl has a similar 10+ year NBA career - OR 49% he'd have been booted off the team in year 1.
Good stats bad team guys are common, sometimes they are a product of their surroundings (Earl) and other times they are one of the causes (CV).
