This. Big difference between being a great shooter, and an accomplished scorer which is what Roy senior was.....
Pretty sure your aware of the context the posters referring to with Roy Marble senior vs Roy Devyn Marble.....
All depends what you want to use as a criteria for great shooter. Chris became an icon at Iowa as a volume shooter who would fearlessly pull from almost anywhere past mid court. His strength allowed him to shoot a fairly normal jump shot from 35 to 40 feet, but by percentage he was never in the category of any of these other Hawks. He never shot 40% for a season, and his career was around 35%, so about the same as Luka Garza. Mac led the nation one season at 52% and was 45% for his career. Most of these guys are in the 42 to 45% career range. I would take Jbo or Jok anytime over Chris if a wanted a three late in game and needed it. Freddy could fill it up from deep, but have no real data to tell what his numbers would look like.Any list without Kingsbury and Jok is insufficient. Those 2 had range and pure shots that could go in any time. And they were big and strong enough to do it. I didn't see him play but Freddie Brown was supposed to be in the same category ( ) so I think you have to include him, too. JoBo is another pure shooter but not as strong as the others I mentioned, he just shoots it from further away to avoid contact
Well, they didn't call him "Downtown" for nothin....
Downtown Freddie Brown & its not even close.
Brown is easily No. 1. He was a great rebounder too. He jumped way above his height -- 6-3, I believe. I doubt that he ever had a shot blocked -- given his quickness and jumping ability.
Vince ran hot and cold, and his shot was flatter than most of the others. But when he was on...
....he was the main reason they beat Kansas that year breaking their 60 something streak against non conference foes. Put that in your pipe and smoke it
