Malachi the man, the legend...

[Dave85]

I just read this: Malachi Richardson made three 3's against BC. That moved him passed Carmelo Anthony and Jonny Flynn who each had 56 three's as freshman. Can any of you stat-heads confirm this factoid? If it's true I think it's worth saying "wow" about.

Melo 56-166.

Flynn 56-161.

Malware 58-160 so far.

GMac finished 85-238.

 

[tee1222]

I can confirm!
Melo:56
Flynn: 56
Mali: 58
You were close but in fact, he has 2 more and counting.
Better stat to keep track on is him against Gerry "not 10 games" McNamara since he was more of a three point gunner.
Gerry: 85

Still, even if Richardson doesn't get close to GMac's numbers, I love the way he drives and gets easier looks or gets to the stripe.

85 is a lot! That's going to be really tough to beat.

GMac played 35 games. Mal will get at least 33.

Say we have 9 more games, 5 regular season, 2 ACC, 2 Tourney at 3 per game and he ties GMAC. He has a shot but I think Donte is out of reach.

I almost spit out my lunch when I read this!

What Donte record are you referring to?

You are assuming, as per the post above, that he will play two ACC tourney games and two NCAA games? I guess that's not a stretch!

With these numbers already you could argue he's in pretty good company and therefore in legend territory.

Greene went 90-261 as a Frosh.

 

[44doubledees]

What Donte record are you referring to?

Donte holds our record for 3pts made by a frosh at 90

Since we have 31 regular season games scheduled, I was assuming at least 1 ACCT and 1 NCAA.

 

[Brooky03]

4 games in the ACCT, 6 in the NCAAT, 5 regular season games. At 2.2 threes made per game, he'd get 33 more makes and beat Donte with a total of 91.

That would be legendary!!!

His 6 first half threes in the NC Championship game should put him just ahead of GMAC.

hey bro, 3/4 seasons do not make a legend. Those spot's are reserved for bing, Kid Kohls, Dennis Duval, Otis hill, Etan thomas, DC, Sherm , melo, hak, gm, and more. mr is agood player but nowhere near a legend.

 

[orange2win]

Very few freshmen under JB ever saw enough playing minutes to post big 3 numbers, unless they were (or were close to) 5 star prospects.

Devo hit 50, and is the only other player to go 50 or more. Ennis, who saw big minutes, only had 30.

Yep. Then refuse to play the second half so his draft stock doesn't dip!

I love Otis Hill...but Otis Hill? Legend?

In this specific case, I think even bigger than the minutes that JB allows the fresmen... its the green light.

Frank throws up a good look and gets yanked. Mali has probably 4-5 awful shots per game (add in Cooneys 2 awful shots per game with no yanking) and stays in the game.

Not complaining because it is working - but its not really fair. But hell - life isnt fair.

I going to disagree with you a bit. I think he's special. He has that give me the ball and I will win the game vibe going on. He is a go-to guy in my mind. And his hair is especially good on defense. I think this kid is going to be all-time special before he's done.

Just depends on how long he wants to be here.
