Don't forget shooting, he was as good a shooter as I've ever seen. The LSU Sports Information Dept. took every play-by-play sheet from Maravich's career and charted every shot he took. They determined that with the 3-point line, Maravich would have averaged 7 more ppg upping his career average to 51.2 ppg. He played in an era in which there was no shot clock and freshmen weren't allowed to play varsity.As gifted a basketball player as has ever played the game. Ball handling, passing, creativity, showmanship. It was fortunate for the game that he came along. Unfortunate for his college career that he did not attend LSU a decade or so later.
