When sharpshooters come to mind, most people would think about Davidson’s Stephen Curry or Duke’s J.J. Redick — Stoudamire was better than both of them. Stoudamire connected on 49-percent of his three-point attempts at Arizona and finished his collegiate career with a ridiculous 64.6 true-shooting percentage — including a 68.9-percent mark in his senior year.
For comparison’s sake, Zion Williamson — who dunked the ball virtually every time he touched it during his lone year at Duke — had a 70.2 true-shooting percentage in 2018. Stoudamire was as accurate of a marksman as the NCAA has ever seen, and it’s puzzling that he didn’t have a lengthy NBA career considering the league’s emphasis on outside shooting.
