You're stating a fact (Eason came off the bench), and then inferring information from it, that you haven't proven and can't show.
Unless you're saying that every single one of the best players on others teams is a starter, we cannot know how much coming off the bench impacted his competition. It's a silly point to make.
Eason is LSU's best player, and he came off the bench. This point alone should illustrate why you cant deduce the level of competition each individual player faced based on whether they started the game on the court or on the bench.
Again, if If you want to argue their per 100 poss/per 40 mins are slightly inflated by playing less minutes overall than some other players on this list, and that they might not be able to keep that pace/rate with increased minutes, I can understand that position.
That means nothing, he went against 2nd units frequently just like other reserves on all levels of basketball.
Do you honestly not understand the problem with your position? Or you just aren't willing to admit it's wrong?
I'll put it more simply
Your argument is this:
All bench Players= inferior to starters
Tari Eason is the best player on LSU, and came off the bench. Therefore, you cannot say that just because someone comes off the bench, they are inferior competition.
I'm still waiting for you to show any stats/data, I'll take anything at this point, that shows Eason benefitted from playing against "bench units", whatever that actually means, given most teams run 7 man rotations for most of the game.
Someone? No there are multiple reserves, and they collectively are inferior to starting units.
