Buddy now #2 while JG3 is #10 all-time 3 pointers made

[Cstate]

Buddy has certainly been on a roll the last 3 games shooting the 3 ball, and that Steph Curry type 3 that JG3 hit towards the end of the first half put him in the #10 spot all-time with 180 threes…..passing Tyus Battle. Not too bad for an undersized kid playing out of position.

Man gmac made a lot of 3s

Yep. A lot of meaningful ones too. Also, Cooney is higher on that list than I would have thought.

 

[Cuse181]

So all buddy needs to do is average 10 3s a game to pass GMac!

How is he undersized or playing out of position?

I think he was referring to Joe Girard.

Oops, I misread that.

Did you know we don't win 10 fricken games without him. Or a Natty.

Congrats Buddy. Rounding into form as timely as the Swallows returning to San Juan Capistrano each February and March.

No knock against anyone else, but watching Shumpert shoot pre-game was incredible. He was so fluid and would just nail every shot in rhythm.

When he shot warming up, it looked like he was born to shoot threes.

Not saying he was the best at it or had perfect form, but it looked so natural and effortless.

I think you missed one of the McNamara years - he's at 103 by my count.

Not saying he was the best at it or had perfect form, but it looked so natural and effortless.

Also not intended as a knock, probably not the kindest thing to add to this type of thread, but if this list shows anything it's that SU isn't exactly known for excellence in shooting. Tyus Battle and Lawrence Moten are two of my all-time favorites. Shooters they were not.

That is the point I was making in a different thread. Now however, the composition of the team has changed drastically to a shooters team. I think Gerry has had a lot of influence on that.

It sucks that Shumpert's SU legacy (which is a great one) gets kind of jaded by Deshaun's drama.

Fair enough, but there were plenty of really good shooters who played before the 3-point era.

Agreed. That team started 9-0 and 16-2 his senior year.

And then the wheels came way off.

Guys like Matt Roe, Elijah Hughes, Andrew White and Carmelo were much better pure shooters than Moten, for instance. They just weren't at SU long enough to compile enough volume.

I do think Shumpert is the best Buddy comparison. Great shooter, average (at best) athlete, minus defender, guy who was really born to be 2nd or 3rd option but miscast as option 1, spent his last year on a weirdly constructed team, could kind of create for himself on the dribble but certainly not crossing over anyone.

I know Rautins is a more popular comparison but Rautins was really a guy who only came on in his last two years. When he did put it together as an upperclassman, Rautins had court vision and defensive chops that Buddy hasn't matched, but on the other hand was not a guy who you'd hand the ball to and ask to create for himself.

No joke, during a pre-season game, I one time saw Elvir Ovcina dribbling the ball down on a 2 on 1 break as time was running down, we were down by one, and Elvir stopped at the arc and jacked a three and missed.

As infuriating as it was, it was a thing of beauty to watch Elvir have that type of chutzpah to throw that three up when we just needed two.

If that was in the regular season, I have no doubt JB would have had him killed.

If it were a regular season game Elvir probably would have been watching in that circumstance.

LOL, fair.

Yep- my bad fixed. Glad we have so many auditors on the board. Reviewing contracts since 5am and my brain is about broken before lunch.
