Meeks....have to at least consider him after that game he just had

raptors · Answer

The NCAA will move the 3-point line back one foot to 20 feet, 9 inches this coming season, but these 10 guys will not be affected at all. In fact, because they have been proven shooters in college basketball, opponents often chase them back a foot or two behind the arc, but it usually doesn't slow them down.

From Way Downtown

With the 3-point line moving back from 19 feet, 9 inches to 20 feet, 9 inches for the upcoming season, it's time to reflect on the greatest 3-point shooters of all-time and in college basketball today.
• Bilas: Best ever from 3
• Katz: Adjusting to the new line

Shooting percentages can be misleading when it comes to determining a great shooter because some of these guys are the focal point of their team's offense. Consequently, they will be defended more aggressively and, often, have to take tough, end-of-shot clock shots.

But here are my top 10 shooters in the college game today:

Peej72 · Answer

I would vote Mcalarney but I just wanted to throw Meeks in the mix

raptors · Answer

1. Stephen Curry, Davidson, Junior: 284-668 (.425)Curry was not only the best shooter in college basketball this past season, he saved some of his best performances for its greatest stage, the NCAA tournament. He averaged 32.0 points a game and made 23 3-point shots in four tourney games. And his 40-point performance in the win over Gonzaga in the first round was punctuated by 8-of-10 shooting behind the arc. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;2. Kyle McAlarney, Notre Dame, Senior: 174-394 (.442)The Fighting Irish had their own version of Mr. Inside and Mr. Outside in the rugged Luke Harangody and the sweet-shooting McAlarney last season, and both return this year. In a league where zone defenses are prevalent, coach Mike Brey has an excellent weapon to keep them honest in McAlarney, the senior from Staten Island, N.Y. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[&#x2B;] Enlarge &#xD;&#xA;[&#x2B;] Enlarge &#xD;&#xA;Lester Hudson, Tennessee-Martin, SeniorAlex Ruoff, West Virginia, SeniorAlan Voskuil, Texas Tech, Senior

3. Jack McClinton, Miami, Senior: 232-556 (.417)McClinton is a deadly shooter who helped the Hurricanes back to the NCAA tournament last season. He shot nearly 43 percent from behind the arc and 92 percent from the free-throw line. And he did this while making the transition from shooting guard to handling the point much of the time for coach Frank Haith. That&#x27;s not easy to do. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;4. A.J. Abrams, Texas, Senior: 284-711 (.399)Great shooters have to have short memories and don&#x27;t worry about the last missed shot. While Abrams doesn&#x27;t miss many, he has ultimate confidence in himself that is matched by the confidence his coach, Rick Barnes, has in him. In seven games this past season, Abrams made six 3-pointers or more. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;5. Josh Young, Drake, Junior: 143-374 (.382)Young was as obscure as his team at the start of the season, but he exploded to average 15.9 points a game on 43.4 percent shooting from behind the 3-point line as the Bulldogs became college basketball&#x27;s biggest surprise. With two seasons left, he is poised to become a well-known name, at least to NBA scouts. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;6. Robert Vaden, UAB, Senior: 267-669 (.399)The former Indiana transfer finished the season on a 4-for-28 schneid behind the line, but it didn&#x27;t tarnish an overall excellent junior season. Vaden averaged 21.1 points a game and shot 40 percent from deep. His nationally televised 33-point performance at Kentucky (including 7-for-11 from 3) was one of the best performances of the season in college hoops.

7. Josh Akognon, Cal State Fullerton, Senior: 199-534 (.373)Who? This guy transferred to Cal State Fullerton from Washington State after leading the Cougs in scoring. He is a mighty mite who can really score. This past season, he made 116 3s and shot 90 percent from the foul line. He can play. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;8. Garrison Carr, American University, Senior: 188-446 (.422)After averaging 3.8 points as a sophomore, Carr helped American to its first NCAA appearance by scoring 18.4 points a game on 45.2 percent shooting from behind the arc and 89.2 percent from the foul line. He made five 3s in a game an astounding 14 times and made seven 3s in a 26-point effort at Dayton. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;9. Jimmy Baron, Rhode Island, Senior: 243-578 (.420)The Rams&#x27; struggles at the end of the season mirrored Baron&#x27;s struggles as the coach&#x27;s son shot just 30.6 percent from behind the arc in his last 11 games. Rhody lost nine of those games. Baron still finished the season shooting 40.6 percent from 3 and has as much range as anyone in college basketball. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;10. Ryan Wittman, Cornell, Junior: 171-386 (.443)The son of Randy Wittman, former Indiana and NBA sharpshooter, has put the Big Red back on the basketball map. He shot 45.9 percent from 3 last season and has already made 171 3s in just two seasons. His team-leading 15.1 points led Cornell to the NCAA tournament for the first time in 20 years. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Honorable MentionJosh Alexander, Stephen F.

Give me a couple minutes I will post the BEST 3pt SHOOTER of all time

raptors · Answer

any guesses who the top 3 are?

raptors · Answer

Here are the top 3-point shooters since the inception of the 3-point line for the 1986-87 season:

1. Dennis Scott, Georgia Tech, 1988-90: 351-831 (.422)
Scott gave "range" a whole new meaning. I first heard about Dennis when he was in seventh grade, and I never saw anyone shoot with such ease from so deep.

2. Steve Kerr, Arizona, 1983-88: 114-199 (.573)
Kerr made the 3-point line look like a layup, and he probably hit a higher percentage of his 3s than he did his layups. Kerr's 3-point percentage is the kind of shooting percentage reserved for big guys who don't shoot outside the paint. He was a great shooter, and he turned that singular skill into a stellar career. Kerr is a great lesson: Don't get caught up in what a player cannot do at the expense of what he does so well.

3. Reggie Miller, UCLA, 1983-87: 69-157 (.439)
I played against Reggie in high school, and he was ahead of his time. Most coaches of his era thought his shots were bad ones, but they went in. And when the 3-point line was introduced in his senior year, Miller was an even bigger star.

4. J.J. Redick, Duke, 2003-06: 457-1,126 (.406)
As prolific a shooter and scorer as the game has seen in the past 20 years, Redick went from being a shooter to a player and diversified his game with drives and well-conditioned movement. Nobody faced more defensive attention at the guard spot than Redick, and he was one of the best shooters when challenged I have ever seen.

5. Kyle Korver, Creighton, 1999-2003: 371-819 (.453)
There was not a better shooter in the country in 2002 and 2003 than Korver, Redick included. He just wasn't on television as much. Every time he shot it, it had a chance to go in.

Curry hands down!!

raptors · Answer

ARROWS:&#xD;&#xA; &#xD;&#xA;he was on the list, just didnt post them all&#xD;&#xA; &#xD;&#xA;17. Jeff Fryer, Loyola Marymount, 1986-90: 363-940 (.386)Fryer was the perfect complement to Hank Gathers and Bo Kimble, and he really took advantage of Paul Westhead&#x27;s breakneck-paced system. Fryer would have shot a better percentage if the pace of play were anywhere near normal.
