In general I don't really have anything against spot up shooters. In fact I heard there's a guy named Ray Allen in the NBA who broke the NBA all time three's record this past year. Hey you never know.

Understand what your saying but Ray was so much more than a spot up shooter. He was very athletic when he was a young guard.

From what i have heard, he would be taller, faster and possible stronger then allen in high school. This does not mean he is better ... people that i have talked to say he has an amazing offensive skill set, but terrible onside D.

We seem to have a surplus of slashers, guys who can dribble-drive. We've had a woeful deficit of shooters lately to keep a defense honest and nail those back-breaking 3's. I wouldn't mind another Rashad Anderson type.

Edit: Trivia question -- who's the last UConn player to average better than 38% on 3's (minimum 25 attempts)?

I'm going with Rashad. And I totally agree with your post.

I think it was Sticks...

How about Ryan Boatright last season? he shot 38% from 3

 

[huskiesnyc]

Niels Giffey also shot 43% percent from deep but on only 21 attempts

 

[Tenspro2002]

Well, Boat was 37.7% last year. Close, but not quite. I'm not gonna remember to do this later, so here's the answer:

The last player to shoot 38% from 3 was AJ Price, in 2009. That's 3 years we've gone without a dangerous threat from the perimeter.

Sticks was the only other player to do it in that era, at 41.8% in 2008 and 38.1% in 2007.

From 2002-2006, every year we had at least 2 guys shoot it at 38% or above:

2006 - Rashad (40.7%), MW (40.0%)
2005 - Rudy (46.7%), MW (40.3%)
2004 - Ben (43.3%), Rashad (41.0%), Denham (39.1%)
2003 - Ben (41.9%), Denham (41.7%), TR (40.3%), Rashad (39.3%)
2002 - TR (43.6%), Ben (41.3%), Caron (40.0%)

Not coincidentally, I would argue, that 2002-2006 period was the strongest period of sustained success in program history.

It was donnell Beverly

 

[huskiesnyc]

It was donnell Beverly

7-15 in 2011. not enough shot attempts

Wow, look at 2003. That was clearly a strong shooting team.
