Yeah your point is fair. I just kind of took his point to be that you can't just post stats and say "hey this guy is better" when there are other factors at play such as how successful the team actually was.

thats a fair point.

IMO, there isn't any stat line you can show me to prove Ben was a materially better player than Randolph at LSU. But, if you watch each play 2 random games, one of them is clearly a more skilled player all-around.

Im not sure what else you need besides his stats, which were much better than Randolph. His PER is also top of the charts.
Ill be the first one to admit that Ben underperformed to his freakishly absurd expectations. But those expectations are unfair for any 18 year old. With that said, Ben was still a dominant force. Much more dominant than anything Randolph showed me in his one season.
