He's been much better once (11-12). Otherwise the average difference between the two is around 5 or 6 points.
Defensively however, Backlund plays a better all-around game.
I'm not saying Backlund deserved it over Marcus, but it's not as simple as saying "take the guy who was better two seasons ago"
