Message: [QUOTE="Gurleyman, post: 5258600, member: 175"] Sigh. As I wrote, Ben was another level … but there is a case to be made for Cam based on efficiency. Which isn’t a knock on Ben. It’s that Cam was a freaking unicorn. I don’t think anyone here grasps what they saw with Cam. He was a whisker from being a 50-40-90 shooter (ended up 48.5 after threatening 50). And he had a 3.5-1 assist to turnover ratio, which is insane for a 2 guard. Not only that, he closed out his career with a 7:1 assist to turnover ratio over his last 17 games (almost a half season). He had 30 assists and 3 turnovers in his last 8 regular season games, 19 and 4 in the BET and 21 and 4 in the NCAAs. That’s 70 and 11. Absurd. Whatever the equivalent of a shooting “heater” is for decision making, we witnessed one of the greatest ones of those ever. He missed shots … but he played close to perfect basketball. Obviously Ben was more talented and had a harder job, and it is unlikely that Cam could have been the same go to guy that Ben was with the defensive attention that entails. But Ben couldn’t touch Cam’s efficiency. And that’s in no way a knock on him. Non-unicorns can’t. Ben had 40 assists and 37 turnovers in 13 NCAA games (19 and 17 during the championship run) - which is perfectly fine. But when you compare it to Cam, it’s not a fair comparison. Because Cam was one of one. [/QUOTE]
