Bender would have been a big one because he was early in Stansbury's career, but Monte would have been a much better get. Bender was hurt by injuries, but he played 59 games his second year and averaged 3.3 pts per game. He topped out at 7.4 points per game. He would have been good in college, but not a big time scorer night in and night out. MOnte would have been. He scored over 16 a game in the pros his second year. He scored 6.8 a game his rookie year while only playing 18 minutes a game. So basically 13.6 per 36 minutes against NBA players as a rookie. Presumably he'd have done better than 13.6 per game against college players.
