March 9, 200719 yr It was mentioned during the UK-Bama game today who the all time best shooters are in college basketball. I thought it would be interesting to throw some names around. Obviously older guys will have different lists. Larry Bird Pete Maravich Kyle Macy Chris Lofton JJ Redick Ray Allen Salim Stoudemire Travis Ford Jayson Williams Scotty Thurman Thats just 10 guys Im throwing out there. Im sure Ive missed some great ones. This is a pretty good list, but, I can't see Travis Ford or Jayson Williams up there with the best shooters ever...Cameren Mills would be better than them..
March 9, 200719 yr This is a pretty good list, but, I can't see Travis Ford or Jayson Williams up there with the best shooters ever...Cameren Mills would be better than them.. As a senior Cameron Mills shot 41.8% from the field (53/127), and 43.7% 3FG (38/87)...Jason Williams' last season he shot 45.7% from the field (249/545), and 44.6% from 3FG (108/242)... And he was the focal point of many defenses.
March 9, 200719 yr This one will be tough, I am not sure that I can come up with 10 right off the top of my head and will surely leave some out. Here it goes. Pete Maravich (no question the best) Larry Bird Kyle Macy Mark Price Jay Schidler Travis Ford Steve Alfrod J.J. Reddick Jim Lemaster Michael Jordan Ford burned it up his Junior year but stunk it up his senior year.
March 9, 200719 yr Reddick would probably be the best pure shooter in the last 10 years that I can remember.
March 9, 200719 yr JJ Redick (Duke) Chris Jackson (LSU) Chris Mullin (St. Johns) Pistol Pete Maravich (LSU) Jerry West (West Virginia) Rick Barry (Miami, FL) Ray Allen (Connecticut) Mark Price (Georgia Tech) Steve Alford (Indiana) Larry Bird (Indiana St.)
March 9, 200719 yr Kerr at Arizona was awfully good also, I think his first name was Steve. I also agree on Jim Masters and Kevin Grevey who posters mentioned earlier.
March 9, 200719 yr I think we are talking about shooting basketballs, not guns. :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: Good One!
March 9, 200719 yr Author This is a pretty good list, but, I can't see Travis Ford or Jayson Williams up there with the best shooters ever...Cameren Mills would be better than them.. Probably as much as anything with my list I was brainstorming. Now, as for Travis Ford, his junior year he shot over 50% from 3 point range. And he took a lot of 3s! But Ford had an amazing year. Now, his senior year the % went down some. And rightfully so without having Jamal Mashburn out there as a guy who gets double teamed and is a great passer. But Ford was awfully good!
