Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Rotator at none against Blocky Basketball FreeStyle's shown. Rotator also leads on iOS requirement (9.0 vs 15.0). Blocky Basketball FreeStyle's advantage is update cadence (every 5 months vs every 26 months) and rating (4.3 vs 4.1). On price, review sentiment, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
