Take a look at the shooting % of some of the college guys during combine testing. They took unguarded shots from college 3 distance and almost half of them shot over 65%. Just keep that in mind the next time you leave your rec league game and had a great might shooting and wonder why the aztecs can't hit a stinkin 3. Darington Hobson shot 64.0% (16 out of 25) from college 3. Luke Babbitt hit 84% (21 out of 25). I wonder if Fredette could beat 21? www.nbadraft.net/nba-draft-combine-shooting-drill-results |

When I played in high school, I would shoot 70% to 75% 3FGs in practice but ended up only shooting 45% in games. It's much different when a guy is jumping at you with a hand in your face.

Hobson is not a very good shooter. He does, however, has a flair for the dramatics in terms of making a clutch shot, pass or getting a rebound for a putback. But, three point shooting is not his strong suit or defense, which is why he make not get selected in draft until 2nd Round. Ray Allen, Mark Price, Reggie Miller and Larry Bird were are three-point shooters! They shoot 3's unguarded and guarded!

That's why it's so important for teams to scrimmage during practice with something actually riding on 5 on 5 games (running, etc) and practice FT's when you are very tired and your legs are fried, to help simulate game conditions. I heard Rahon has been shooting light out in practice. We'll see if he can still do it with a hand in his face? This is also why I think the depth this year will make the team so much better. Jamaal Franklin may not start, but his defensive presence in practice will force the other guards to improve ... i.e. quicker release and/or more arch on shots. |

Love Ray Allen...but hate to say this because I am not a fan.....but right now if I am the opposiiton, the person I fear most from 3 is Kobe Bryant. |

Yes, 70%-75% is not real hard to do in practice with nobody guarding if you are a good shooter. I have seen avg shooters, hit 70% in shooting contests before or after practice. Game time?? Everything changes. |

Nice find. And, yeah, I've seen these stats before and am always amazed. I first came across these when Heath was trying to get a crack at the NBA. I believe he shot 75%. I thought that was fabulous until I checked on some of the other top talent. If I recall, there was a Lottery Pick guy from Duke who was pushing 90% from behind the arc.
