1779. That's how many shots Maravich missed in his career at LSU. That averaged out to 21.4 per game. He never even hit 45% of his shots. His teams sucked, he didn't make them all that much better, and then he went to the NBA and immediately made a pretty good team worse.
Austin Carr, OTOH, managed to average 38 ppg each of his last 2 years in college while shooting 55.6% and 51.7%, He was a better FT shooter than Maravich, a better rebounder, and though Maravich was certainly a better passer, I'm also betting that Carr turned the ball over less than half as much (no stats kept on it at the time, but Maravich went on to set NBA records for TO's). Defensively, I have no idea beyond the fact that Maravich was considered an absolute 0 on that end in the NBA, whereas Austin Carr was not.
And Carr put up his numbers on pretty good teams. His Sr year, he got a win against UCLA.
Maravich also played against UCLA his Sr year (year before Carr). LSU lost 133-84.
Here are the Pistol's stats vs UK his Jr and Sr years. 4 games, 216 points (54 ppg), 85/187 (45.5%) shooting.
Here are Carr's in the 3 games he played against UK his Jr and Sr years, including one in the tournament: 145 points (48.3 ppg), 63/94 (67%) shooting.
