I'm kind of surprised you picked Moses over Wilt, I'm not that high on Wilt's offense but I feel like Moses was probably worse. It's definitely arguable though.

The thing about Wilt is its hard to get away from him playing 45-48mpg during what was by far the fastest pace era in league history but if you limit him to say 36mpg I would think his level of play on a per minute basis has to improve. So maybe he refines his game more and also becomes better defensively with the added energy. Because when guys are tired they tend to throw up more wild shots and stuff like that. So I think its very hard to compare Wilt to anyone from the mid 70's onward. He's just such an outlier in so many ways. The one thing about Wilt that doesn't translate well though is his ft shooting. That's going to drag down his relative efficiency even more now than it did back then. The strict rules he played under also has to be factored in. I seriously doubt that Moses could have averaged close to 50ppg back then for instance.

I am high on both, but Moses has very unique style that maximized his potential on offensive end like few other superstars. On top of that, his conventional skillset is significantly underappreciated as well. The only thing he lacks is his passing creation, but he was still extremely impactful offensive player.

As I said though, I think I'd put Wilt a bit ahead after longer thought. Mostly because he was much better passer and comparable offensive rebounder.
