Both were incredible athletes and were highly skilled. Speed and quickness are underappreciated talents. Guys with true high end speed, that can handle the ball, have a place in the league..

Bogues played 2 more years; Webb scored about 2 points more a game, but Bogues had an extra half rebound (2.6) a game, more than 2 assists more a game, about half a steal a game more, and blocks are about a wash.

Bogues was better from the floor for his career, though Webb edges him in 3 point and FT shooting. At peak performance for a season, Bogues had 10.7 assists-- probably the high water mark for either of them in anything- but Bogues found a way to get 4.1 rebounds a game one year. And to the everlasting credit of peak Spud, he averaged a third of a block per game once.
