Looking at our current woes shooting from 3 in conference play made me wonder who RRS considers the best 3-point shooter in Tech history. I'm mainly curious what the old timers that have seen all these guys think. Let's make the deciding metric this: From one slightly contested look from 3, who do you want shooting with your life on the line?
Potential candidates:
Todd Duncan: 132-287, 45.9%
Jerry Mason: 129-283, 45.6%
Alan Voskuil 203-460, 44.1%
Stan Bonewitz: 241-561, 43%
Jarrius Jackson: 232-554, 41.9%
John Roberson: 274-698, 39.3%
Lance Hughes: 168-438, 38.4%
Rayford Young: 169-443, 38.1%
Cory Carr: 262-716, 37%
Koy Smith: 237-638. 37%
Gotcher: 138-377, 36.6%
Keenan: 133-369, 36%
To make it interesting, I say we remove Bubba Jennings and limit candidates to the 3-point era.
I didn't get to watch most of these guys, but I'm going with Voskuil. In his senior year, he shot 50% on 134 attempts. That's ridiculous.
Bonewitz being only 3% percentage points lower than Duncan & Mason is incredible, since he took about 300 more attempts than those guys.
John Roberson having over 30 more career makes than Bonewitz should count for something.
Jarrius Jackson has three consecutive seasons shooting over 43%. That's insane.
I guess Dusty Hannahs (242-612, 39.5%) doesn't count. He went 7-7 from three in one game against West Virginia, though.
Just to show how active Mooney was at South Dakota. His current numbers of 193 made threes on 570 attempts would put him at 4th* most attempts in Tech history and 7th most in career makes.
*for some reason, the 2014-2015 edition of Tech's record book has Koy Smith at 230-569, while the 2009-2010 version has him at 237-638.
