Clearly different supporting cast situations but Who was the better anchor offensively throughout their prime?

Moses.

Hakeem was essentially a variant of Carmelo Anthony on Offense. Who never had a TS+ above 104 outside of '93 & '94 in his prime years.

Hakeem. Especially in today's NBA.

Hakeem was more efficient than Moses in the postseason. Also scored on higher volume and was a MUCH better (if still not great) passer.

I think they are comparable as the clear leading anchors without secondary stars, but Moses fits way better with offensive talent.

Yeah, it's Moses rather clearly to me.

What makes Hakeem more suited to modern NBA than Moses?

RS:

1979-83 Moses: 25.0 adj pp75 on +4.7 rTS%
1989-95 Hakeem: 24.5 adj pp75 on +2.3 rTS%

PS:

1979-83 Moses: 24.8 adj pp75 on +2.9 rTS%
1989-95 Hakeem: 27.5 adj pp75 on +3.1 rTS%

Where does this "much more efficienct" come from?

I never said that. I said he was "more efficient" and a "MUCH better passer".

Fair enough, but 0.2 percentage point advantage in TS% isn't something I'd even mention.
