NBA or D-League Candidate Number Six

Its down to two of you.  The same stats sheet has been handed to both of you.  You need to get this one right.  Immediately you notice both candidates are 20 years old.  Panic begins to settle in as you expected the ages to be different.

Searching for birth dates, you locate one birthday is before the other.  At peace now, you place the first birthday data to the left and determine that is player one, and the second folder to the right and that is player two.

You note player one is 6-foot-8 210 pounds.  He has scored 10.7 points in 36 minutes of play, appearing in 65 games and starting in 11.  Player one shot 35.2 percent from the floor, 31.4 percent from three point range, and 59.1 percent from the free throw line.
Player one also chipped in 5.2 rebounds, 2.1 assists, 1.0 steals, and 1.8 blocks per 36 minutes.

You next turn your attention to player two.  You note player two is 6-foot-9 220 pounds.  He has scored 13.5 points in 36 minutes of play, appearing in 61 games and starting in 19. Player two shot 45.3 percent from the floor, 29.7 percent from three point range, and 76.2 percent from the free throw line.
Player two also chipped in 6.4 rebounds, 1.8 assists, 1.8 steals, and .7 blocks per 36 minutes.

Your competition just turned in his recommendation, and you have been asked to submit your final recommendation.

Who will you recommend to sign, and who will you recommend to pass on?
