Sell me on Culver being the better prospect coming out of college.

I know your question is tongue in cheek, but I'll answer anyway.

Statistically I can't sell you. Comparing their final college seasons, Wes had a much higher FG percentage, a much higher 3-point percentage, a higher FT percentage, significantly more rebounds and more steals. Johnson also has substantially more length with a 8'10 overhead reach compared to Culver's 8'4.5. Wes was probably more athletic as well.

But I suspect that Culver has a thousand times more heart than smiling Wes.

And I believe Wes was like 23 when drafted and Culver just turned 20 a couple months ago.

Culver is infinitely smarter in terms of body control and BBIQ.

Culver also didn't come from a program notoriously poor at developing good NBA pros.

Considering some of you guys wanted Brandon Clarke at 11 and he and Wes are basically the same size, sell me on Clarke being better because that's a fairer comparison.

To be fair , he comes from a program that isn't known for developing good or bad prospects.
