I looked at wrong year.....
As for quitting on his team, he was one of 5 that transferred in Feb, just days apart...But nevermind that little fact.
Durham’s career percentage (in 4 years compared to Kopp in 3) is almost identical. And unlike Kopp, Durham improved every year and shot 38% or better his last 2 years. It’s looking like Kopp had one outlier good season so far. Durham was more consistent. So tell me again how Durham isn’t close to Kopp? Lol
I love these responses....Maybe I'lll hire Hail to look it up.
34/38 isn't chopped liver.
For modern basketball, they are ok/good, definitely not great. Every team has several guys that shoot those percentages.
Edit: You were the one that brought up the fact that I said Sasha is a great shooter, which I never have. The burden of proof is on you for bringing it up.
Bates shot 44% from three as a Junior at Piper HS..
Scout Jerry Meyer ,among others describe Bates as an "accurate, deep shooter".
Not sure it would be much of a surprise if he shot in the high 30's, at all.
Sure.....Invented the wheel with that one, also. Pretty certain he's the first kid to ever transfer mid-season..
Maybe you said it, I dunno. I know many did----and on here. IMO, a dude who shoots 40% from three is pretty damn good.
Tell me you didn’t just quote his stats from junior year in high school lol. Lander was also a good shooter in high school.
From Sports Illustrated:
Bates is a threat to score as soon as he’s within NBA range.
I guess you decided to skip over where I said Jerry Meyer, among other scouting experts said he is an accurate shooter from deep...
And if it makes you feel better, he shot 40% from three at IMG Academy, as a SENIOR.
Lander shot 34%, 35%, and 34% from three in HS. He was a streaky shooter. Thats a tad different than shooting over 40%. Not to mention, Lander simply was not ready for the college game. Good decision due to the experience....but bad decision due to him simply not be prepared for the college game.
I guess some of you just like to troll---probably your dislike for IU. If this were about a Purdue kid who shot 40% from three as a senior, it would be a different story.
Bates is a very good shooter---a huge upgrade at the "2", and is an elite scorer.
Ok, you didn't---I guess. Really don't know. Don't have a filing cabinet on here. I do know Stef was quite often referred to as a great shooter.

Rank them 1 thru 5 which ones you would want on your roster based on their 3P shooting history alone.

Not sure what this would prove? Other than that Player 5 had an outlier, So. year? And that player two Improved greatly from his frosh to Soph year---but pretty much leveled out.
He likely will not be better than Kopp this season, but he’s a sniper. Your team has no excuse for not offering him. Your guards and wings have been subpar the past few years - especially the shooting.
Agree. I think it will surprise no one other than IU fans if he shoots <33% either. I've seen a hell of a lot of guys labeled as very good shooters over the years that struggle to shoot their first year.
Hard to compare spot up shooters because them getting shots is almost heavily reliant on spacing and if their PG can get them open looks.
Didn’t have to shoot many when he can get any two he wants, but I think he will shoot around 30% this season.
You think he’ll only shoot 30% and still be the most impactful PG in the country?
Yep and the other guys have experienced a lot of winning lol.
