Assists/TO would be useful.

Pretty sure that player 1 is an all time ISU great, and player 2 is possibly a contemporary of his? not sure on 2.

Offense is about the same. Would depend on type of offense being used and Defense.

Player one is a better passer and defender, but sucked at shooting. Tinsley?
two is probably Diante

I am not asking you to guess who just vote

The question was which is better, not who are they.

I wouldn't necessarily assume he sucked at shooting - his % could be affected by taking a disproportionate amount of 3 pointers - and considering his 3-point % isn't that far off from his overall FG %, this could be the case.

That being said, personally, I would rather have a PG that was better at distributing, and playing defense than putting up tons of points. I've always viewed points from a PG to be "gravy".

I just don't want to fall in to this trap lol.

Statistically the two are pretty even. Slight scoring edge to #2, but more shots taken, and steal and assist edges to #1. Shooting percentage is not a huge deal for these 2, and #1 gets to the line more.
