Pistol Pete set that in three years. This guy is taking five to approach his mark. Yawn.

IF this happens (and it'd be kinda cool if it does), it also has to come with a HUUUUUUGE asterisk:
This new record will have been set over FIVE seasons.

Pistol Pete didn't get a "Covid year"

In fact, Pete did it in THREE YEARS.

There aren't enough asterisks to put on that. Pete Maravich was my guy growing up.

Ehhhh, Pete also had his dad as coach that let him cook.

 

[CA Monk]

In three years with no three pointer either.

 

[phillydad]

In three years with no three pointer either.

But in a segregated SEC. Asterisks abound.
Don't get me wrong, I was a huge Pistol fan. But it has to be mentioned.

Yup. He isn’t in the same stratosphere as pistol Pet.

He's a pistol, he's a pet, he's a pistol pet!

 

[littlereg]

Davis was really good as a freshman if I recall, I’m surprised he never ended up leaving for a bigger school.

It wasn’t segregated at that time, but still mostly white dudes. There was also no 3 point line.

People name things they own. Cars, boats, guns, etc. Think Full Metal jacket. Most will only use females names. Well, I was looked at funny for naming my pistol Pete. Until I reminded them about Pistol Pete Maravich.

And no 3 pointer. Someone did a study from the Play By Play of Pete's games, using the announcer's estimate of the distance from which Pete shot any particular shot, and determined that Pete would have averaged 15 PPG more. ( I believe that my recollection on the amount is accurate.)

 

[Fly Rodder]

37 FGAs per game lol! He nearly took as many shots in one year as Joe has in four years.

That's a green light!

We need another Pistol Pete.

Excellent, in depth story of Pete Maravich. Long but revealing and worthwhile. Pete’s sons were only 6 and 9 years old when he died at 40.

He did all that with part of his heart anatomically missing when after his autopsy doctors had no idea how he even lived into adulthood. Unbelievable.

We had Jason Williams, but they made him dial it down, smh.

That guy was must watch TV on the League Pass his rookie year.

 

[Toga]

Someone did analysis of the impact on his scoring if there was a 3 point line. I can't remember the results but they were insane.

 

[upperdeck]

Pete only played 83 games in those 3 season as well.

He would have avg 10pts a game just on his Fts..

Not only is this kid gonna play 5 seasons , he is going to end up with 60 more games.

He also averaged 5.1 assists and 6.4 rebounds/game as a 6’5” guard in college.

Great highlights of him, especially with Sac. Town.

 

[HOFCeluck]

His record will be broken. But also…it’ll never be broken.

 

[UpstateSM]

Pistol Pete also had the fortune of not seeing modern, more complex defensive schemes and playing before widespread integration.

If we are talking asterisks

Everytime I see someone post about this, the average per game continues to go up. I think I read ~10 more ppg. So ten 3's per game (if true)!
