Can not compare players today to Ainge

Yes you can. Ainge was not a better shooter from deep than Jimmer. This is

For much of his NBA career, Ainge had the highest 3 point % in the NBA.

CopperLix

So did Jimmer one season. Jimmer was a better shooter from outside.

Blueto

Did you see ANY of Ainge's NBA career?

BigD Coug

2/12/16 8:23am

Sure. That was his role. Are we talking NBA careers or NCAA? Ever hear of

Blueto

I never heard of CurryRange either. Just face it, Ainge was a great shooter,

Great player. Great shooter. The records would look like they do today.

Ainge started and scored in double figures in every game for all 4 seasons at

Ainge was also a +.500 FG % for his career. A big reason is he didn't take long

Exactly. He was a mid range pull up jump shooter and slasher at BYU.

Blueto

So you don't think Ainge could have come up with 132 additional points?

BigD Coug

I think he would avg roughly as many PPG as he did. Not a big change no.

Blueto

2/12/16 9:25am

That is absolutely ridiculous.

Why? Too many factors you don't know. Maybe a 3 point line has a negative effect

Blueto

Ainge was the leader on the court from game 1 season 1

Why would you shoot it from 3pt range if you weren't rewarded for doing so?

Comparing any two players is apples to oranges. Every player means

That is why Ainge is still the best Cougar ever.

Compared just to Jimmer, Ainge was worse....

I'm sure Jimmer never had as many bogeys, on the golf course, either.

While this is true, Nick coasted to his totals last night. He coulda easily got

Almost impossible to top without a 3 point line. Ainge would've had to have been

I didn't mean to take the numbers literally. Just the shooting percentage.
