[DC 86]

According to http://www.sports-reference.com/cbb/play...ich-1.html, he made 16.7 FG's a game. It's hard to believe 13 of 17 (75%+) were from behind the 3 point line. It wouldn't be rational. But remembering that anecdote made me wonder how he would compare to Lee Otis Wilson in the "best outside shooter before the advent of teh 3-point line" discussion. His FG% of 44% isn't too much to get excited by, so hopefully a lot of the shots were from long range.

I agree that it's impossible to believe that 13/17 were from behind a virtual 3-point line, but if he had been playing with an actual 3-point line I assume that instead of shooting from 17/18/19 feet he would have pulled up behind the line a lot. The footage that exists shows a lot of long range shots, certainly 57 ppg seems like an exaggeration but 50+ ppg seems eminently reasonable, which is crazy for a guard playing in a major conference pre-shot clock.
