There is definitely an argument for choosing West. As similar players he definitely has the greater span of elite years. No question. I’d argue though, that Jobe’s peak performing years were superior to West’s. The number of team lifting games he inspired were eye-catching. West went about his business in a super-consistent way of which I admire massively but he was a beige player and at their peak I’d choose Jobe. Again, this is my subjective take, and I have absolutely no issue in others objectively preferring West. Also, Jobe’s BnF total would definitely have been 2, or even 3, more if not for injury. 2011, 2013 and 2014 he missed games despite consistently being his side’s best player when fit. I think it was probably the ability to will himself upon a contest at crucial times in a game that sways me as much as anything.
