If you don't know his rank, I think we could find someone that does.

He made 33 three's. If he shot 38%, he would have made 46. 13 more three's, or 39 more points on the season. That's an extra 1.25 points per game. That would get him to 18 pts per game.

But don't let numbers get in the way of your narrative.
Probably should have read more, before responding. Would have saved you some embarrassment.

I read where you said 23 pts at 38%. Then you backtracked to 20 pts. Looks like it was actually 17 pts. Why would I be embarrassed?

Go read some more, young fella. You'll see why I said his averaged would have been around 20(or so) had he shot his HS numbers from "3". It ain't hard. Take your time.

Why you said it doesn't really matter. Part of your post was wrong. I corrected that part. You're welcome.

You just keep diggin'. No biggie. I was once like you.
Curious, what part was "wrong"---And how did you fix it? I mean, before answering, I'd probably read my post that followed, before doing so. Or not. Continue to look stupid. Makes me no difference.

You're so old and wise, Borden. Here are some quotes from you that I helped you out with.

True. But lets say he shoots his HS percentage from three; 38%. Kid now goes from 17ppg...to about 23.

And 23ppg probably a bit much. More "hyperbole" to get a point across. But at 38%, I do think he averages 20ppg.

He acted like I was a fool for suggesting that IU was a garbage shooting team, now we could've never expected Archie to put together a good squad b/c they never had the shooting to do so.

I am very aware of what I said...If i were you, I'd go look up the rest. Insead of cherry picking fragments of some sentence's. I'm telling you, bro....You need to do this. Tell ya what----I'll help ya out. You seem like a good dude.

Cardinal already pointed out the math didn't add up....And i agreed. It doesn't. BUT....that is NOT why I said his average would be around 20ppg. I wasn't saying him making 13 more three's jumps his average 3-5 ppg. I am a little stupid----but my math is a bit better than that. If he had shot his HS %, it would have(Or COULD HAVE) opened up his game more. He would have been a terror to try and defend. He was hard enough to defend w/o a reliable shot. Can you imagine having to do so, with one? In other words, teams wouldn't have been able to just sit back in the lane, and wait on him. Not to mention, had he shot 38% for the year, odds are----he takes more than the 89 three's or so, that he did take.

My God. SOme of you need everything fvking spelled out, don't you.

Naahhh, now....c'mon. You are being a hit disingenous with this post. But hey, do what you do. I mean I was wrong about IU's shooting. I thought they would shoot GOOD enough. And lately, they have. Which is why they have won 4 straight. Even then, I didn't think it would impact IU's season that much. It did. So of course, after seeing how impactful it was, once can come a conclusion it hurt Millers offensive plans. I mean-----duh.

So 13 more three's, or an extra three quarters of one point per game, now makes him a reliable shooter and a terror to defend? And even with one of the worst percentages of the starters for IU, he already shot the most three's on the team, by a wide margin (29 more than the next guy). I'm not sure how many more he would've/could've shot.

JFC.....Are you trolling? Have to be. Forget the 13 more three's. For some god damn reason, you are stuck on that. So just erase it. Forget it.

Ok. Lets go slower. Back to NOVEMBER. Ok----you with me? Alright.

Game number one.....Or two....or three. Five. six or 10. Game 12, 13 or 15. I don't care . Lets say, from DAY ONE, to NOW, he shots his HS percentage. In other words, there wasn't a time where he was shooting 16% from three. Where he look so terribly uncomfortable taking a "3". That from the get go, Langford was the decent shooter here, that he was in HS. All hypothetical of course. But, I mean, that was the context of my original post.

IF......IF....THis were the case, then IMO, his average would have been closer to 20ppg; or more. Its b/c it would have made him NOT so one-dimensional. Once teams saw he couldn't hit water from a boat, they sat back in the lane, and waited. Yes, it would ahve been a terror trying to defend this kid, with his skills on gertting to the rim, had he had a consistent shot from three. It would NOT have allowed teams to just pack it in on him, sit in the lane, and wait. Why is this so hard to understand?

JFC......

I understood where you were headed with it. I’m just not sure I agree. In the IU games I watched, I don’t recall teams sagging off of Romeo to take away the drive. Maybe they did, I just don’t recall it.

Breathe, Borden. 1 one thousand, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10. Ok, now we're ready for a conversation.

You are completely right in that teams packed it in when they realized he couldn't shoot. Like any freshman, he took this as a sign to shoot more (looking at you RJ, Zion, and Tre). To say if he had a higher percentage, he would've shot more of them, isn't based in evidence. I'd argue he would likely shoot less of them, as teams adjusted how they played him.
 
Hail, thoughts on beilein and the HOF? I’ve been assuming he’s a lock the last couple years, the msu guy a few pages ago thinks not. Guessing that was just a rival trying to talk shit?
Just a matter of when IMO. Amazing journey he has had. Did it with hard work and success, not cuz of who he knew or worked for.

So you were very wrong and now you think Archie could've never overcome this issue. No worries, we're all wrong at times. Just gotta needle you guys for it.

And I was wrong with IU being a 4-5 seed type team. Please mock me to high the high heavens over this.

My brother and his friends are at the college where Nebraska was practicing earlier today. He said they were really friendly and ran some light five on five with them. I think they needed the bodies lol apparently down to 8 dressed? Tough season

Sure I was wrong. And I mean, how could Miller overcome it? I think he too was taken aback with how poorly IU shot the ball. I know I was.

And don't beat yourself up too bad. A healthy all year IU probably is a 4-5 seed.:D
