is NBA stats that I quoted initially, have him WAY below 30%
Statistics show that for NBA basketball players, a 3-point percentage (3pt%) above 35% is good and a 3pt% above 40% is considered to be elite.
Green was 28% from the field in the NBA and 18.2% from 3 pt range.
First, this is a discussion of a Gator player. Who give a flying Fuchs about the NBA stats. Second, you will likely get little argument that Green was too small and slow to have an NBA career or to get off a clean shot in the NBA.
BUT, wow does your statistical analysis seem utterly ridiculous when you are citing to 11 TOTAL NBA SHOTS. That's it. You're entire analysis posits we should determine him to be a "below average shooter," as the college player he was, because of 11 shots versus the 478 he took in a Florida Gator uniform in incredibly high stakes/stress games.
As for the article, nice selective quote, but the article also notes:
"In college basketball a good three-point percentage is 35% or above. This might be a surprising statistic because it’s very similar to the NBA shooting numbers.
This is because the college three-point line is a little bit shorter than the NBA three-point line making it a little easier to shoot for a higher percentage. The competition isn’t as competitive as well.
Shooters that are able to make their 3’s 40% or more throughout a game or a season are considered to be elite three-point shooters in college."
For comparison, Lee Humphrey went 1-5 against Stetson and 1-6 in the first game against Kentucky in 06-07. Damn. That is the same as Taurean's NBA career. Lee was probably below average too or using limited statistics for a different league is silly. Yep, one of those two.
