Need a clutch shot...who you got?

Shabazz, but then again I love him so much I named my Shih Tzu Shabazz so I may not be unbiased. Current roster Jalen Adams
 
Shabazz.

Kemba hit a number of them, but Shabazz is a straight-up better shooter. He practically hero-balled his way through the NCAA Tournament in 2014. Think of the pull-up 3's against Nova, late shot clock heroics against MSU, Kentucky, etc.
Kemba because he had so many ways to hit a shot. Mid range, step back, 3 PT, drive. Dangerous from anywhere which is very tough to guard.

Don't believe anyone on our current roster has been clutch...or simply presented with the opportunity to hit a clutch shot. Other than the Jalen full court heave of course, but that was more luck than anything.
 
I think Khalid deserves more credit here. While I can only remember one buzzer beater (Pitt), he was without question the guy on arguably our best and most important team that I wanted to have the ball. Against Duke he hit a huge runner against Brand to make it 75-72 and then the final two free throws to secure, at worst, a tie.

Kemba and Bazz hit more "big" shots because they were on worse teams and that should obviously not be discounted. But Khalid had an "it" factor that is just impossible to ignore.

Love em all

But it’s Kemba 1 and Shabazz/KEA tied for second.

I didn’t even have to think all that long about it.
 
Depends on the situation....

We have the ball opponenets baseline--Shabazz. He'll get you the best look from long, long range.

Baseline OOB-- Ray. I know he'll get open for the mid-range J or corner 3.

10 seconds left with time to set up? Kemba.
 
Makes me smile so wide that this is truly an impossible question to answer. You could probably come up with a starting 5...even Okafor was money when the game was on the line.
 
It's Kemba. The other team knew he was taking the shot. He was double,sometimes triple teamed. Didn't matter. Now if it was a three barely passing half court I'll take Shabazz. For the ability to take it and make it Khalid is right there.
 
I wasn't sure who I'd want taking it this year if it had to be a three ball.

You'd think Vital, Polley, and Gilbert are our best shooters, but Polley literally hasn't hit an unassisted 3 all year, 90% of Vital's come off of an assist, and 78% of Gilbert's have as well. Jalen actually leads the team in isolation 3 pointers. So I think you'd have to go Jalen.
 
This isn't my choice, but sometimes, the guy with the weightiest pair is a better choice than your best pure shooter.
Exhibit A:


That being said, I'll go with Kemba because he had the biggest balls AND the stroke.
