Who was the best college B-Ball shooter that you ever Saw?

[PennHOG]

That guy from Loyola Marymount that shot free throws left handed during the NCAA tournament in honour of Hank Gathers.  Man, I can't even zip up my pants with my left hand.

[Eric Sullivan]

Marvin Delph. He would still hold the Arkansas scoring record if there was a three point line in his day.

A few years ago when I was working in Little Rock, Sidney Moncrief was UALR's coach at the time and he brought in Marvin Delph for a pep talk.. He was in dress slacks, a dress shirt with a tie on and wearing dress shoes.. He was about 20 feet out shooting while talking the UALR kids and it was NOTHING BUT NET the whole time.. That guys stroke is flawless!!! He then winked at me and said, "man if that 3point line would have been around I would have made a bunch of money in NBA!!"

My top 5.

1. Larry Bird
2. Pistol Pete
3. JJ Redick
4. Mark Price
5. John Paxon ( of the bulls) or Jeff Hornacek ( of the jazz)

Can't leave this guy off..

Chris Mullin - Best left handed stroke of all time!!!!

Pete Maravich, I watched hiim in high school and his team never won a state championship. He was awesome. Bird is still my favorite.

Bo Kimble. 

[hog caller]

I AGREE WITH picture perfect PISTOL PETE WAS THE BEST I HAVE EVER SEEN

[Just-Go-Hogs]

Pete Maravich

Yep, Pistol Pete was the man, but Marvin Delph wasn't far from that good.  And, when he was on, Al Dillard was amazing at shooting.

[Pig Pumper]

Shaq.

[hogtusk]

Marvin Delph is the best shooter that I have seen in person, Pistol Pete on TV was awsome.

[EastMemphisHog]

Cannon Whitby!

I was looking for someone to say it! Lights out.....

Major Wingate....no question

[THROWITDEEP]

Kevin Johnson from Lyon College.  He could hit it from anywhere on the court.  Should have played D-1 back in the 80s.

[JJHog]

Chris Jackson--LSU

Pat Bradley -Arkansas

[Niels Boar]

A name I bet hasn't been mentioned is Dwight Lamar.  He was a 6' 0'' guard who played for now La. Lafayette (USL) back in the 70's and averaged over 30 a game shooting only jumpshots.  With a 3-point line he might have averaged 50.  He wasn't quick enough or big enough to cut it in the NBA, though he had some good ABA seasons. 

Some serious basketball was played at those small Louisiana schools in the 70's. Robert Parish playes for Centenary, and they didn't dominate USL or La. Tech.  Louisiana Tech had an awesome team that scored 100 regularly before the shot clock and without treys.  It was an event when two of those teams did battle. 

[austinhogfan]

Dillard from the snout

dontell jefferson.

i have to admit Donterrible is a preety good shooter.

in fact i think he is one of the best all around players we've seen

at the hill in the past 5-6 years.

[rupert]

Marvin Delph

[GWINGATE]

Allen Houston 

[lyon98]

Chris Jackson--LSU

When Chris Jackson's team, Gulfport, played Murrah, Jackson, for the mississippi state championship all 10 starters got D-1 scholarships. The most noted were Jackaon and Orthello Harrington.

[rupert]

Opponents' shooters:

1. Chris Jackson (LSU)
2. Barry Booker (vanderbilt)..at the SEC tournament this year he was on the court dressed in a suit, waiting to do a between-game  Jefferson Pilot interview,the ball boys were feeding him  and  he was shooting from behind  the three point line one handed, without jumping, I didn't see him miss and he shoot at least five or six straight, if not more, all nothing but net

[Pioneer Fan]

Kevin Johnson from Lyon College.  He could hit it from anywhere on the court.  Should have played D-1 back in the 80s.

The guy can still shoot. He told me that Arkansas recruited him and took a trip to watch him play, that night he had his worst high school game ever. He had a hard time creating a shot, but before he got sick he could consistently make 25 to 30 three pointers in a row.

[dj shanon "Notshavin" smeya]

Glenn Rice

[firecampbell]

God Shamgod

+1 for you that was a good one, that should have been mine.  I'll go with Chris Mullen

[SpaCityBulldog]

Showing my age - Pistol Pete

[Topcat]

Pete Maravich

Absolutely

[NuttsSacked]

Ricky Norton.  He couldn't shoot off the dribble and his feet were slow, but he displayed the purest form I've ever seen when spotted for an open jumper.  He's the last guy you'd want to play H-O-R-S-E with.

[wrightobe]

Jayson Williams...who else??

http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/basketball/news/2002/05/01/williams_shooting_ap/

Carlton Dotson gets a mention.

That's funny right there.  As for long range shooters, the UofA's own, Al Dillard was lights out from anywhere (just about) inside the snout.  I watched him shoot in the HYPR courts many nights, and that dude was awesome.

What the player's name from Tulsa that played for Nolan Richardson at Tulsa?  I believe it was Willie Biles, or Niles but I can not remember, but I do remember that deadly jump shot that was from what is 3 point range.

He scored 44 points strictly from outside shooting when they played Sutton and the Razorbacks, and was the reason, and only reason, that Tulsa came so close to beating the Razorbacks that year at Barnhill Field House.

He must have shot at least 70% that day, and I think he had several games at Tulsa like that.

[Richard_white]

The best shoot and release was Scotty Thurman

But best ever has to be Larry Bird

Rosevelt Wallace a strong second

[TheSportsGuy]

without a doubt.....travis ford of kentucky.  i truely thought he was going to make every shot he got.

[dj shanon "Notshavin" smeya]

I win.  Glenn Rice.  He has the highest shooting percentage in the tourney ever.

Stand down, fellow posters.

[songofthesword]

God Shamgod

ROTFLMAO!!

God Shamgod might be the worst shooter on earth. Kids in Junior High could shoot better then him, which is sad because if he had any resemblence to a shot he would have had a nice NBA career

[RedSatinHog]

I really believe it would have to be Scott Padgett from Kentucky.  That guy could hit from anywhere, and turn a game on a dime in the process.

Verry fuuny +1

[hogtheball]

J.J.,  Bird, Mark Price, and Chris Jackson at LSU.  I never saw Maravich play, but he's god to my dad so I'll put him on the list too.

[Suwe Blab]

Tim Scott for one night against Kansas in 1987

[sportscrazy]

Larry Bird an Steve Alford.  I give Bird the edge because he could not only shoot from anywhere but he could get open off of screens, using the dribble or posting up.  He could shoot facing or with this back to the basket.  No one else on that list could do that as effectively as he could.

[arkbengal]

Goes back a ways, but Pistol Pete and Chris Jackson (LSU), and Bo Lamar (USL) were some of the best I ever saw from out front.

Chris Jackson was the best college basketball player I've ever seen for one season.  Nobody else in the last 25 years has even been close.

[rricha]

jerry west, 
calvin murphy

[woodhog14]

JJ Redick was the best SHOOTER I've seen in college, but not the best player.

[Hollywood_HOGan]

Im sure this has been mentioned but seriously I've NEVER seen a player with the range of Alex Dillard.

That dude could make a jumpshot from just about halfcourt!

Greatest long range shooter Ive seen.

Very entertaining to watch.

There are probably a lot of guys with Dillard's range.  We'll never know - most of them are too smart to take 35 foot shots in games.  The others get benched if they do.

Hey if you can make the 35 foot jumper the way Al did, why not take em?
