I really wish they would rank the 3 point shooters by percentage instead of makes. They should do it like free throws and require a minimum number of shots per game and rank by percentage made. I think that would be more meaningful than number of makes in terms of who the best three point shooters are. Makes, in some cases, have more to do with how many attempts a player has than how well they shoot it.

Zion Harmon?? Can you just jump to any school you want. I thought he played for Bowling Green. Guess I have been hiding under a rock. Where will he be next year? Who ever has the best chance of winning a state title!

If three-point shooting leaders were ranked according to percentage made, Bishop Brossart's Zach Hamberg at 50% (52 of 104) would be atop the list it seems.
