A big difference is the amount of games Haws and Jimmer played.

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.

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

Did you see ANY of Ainge's NBA career?

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

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

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

Blueto

LOL. You think the fact that there wasn't a 3 point line may have impacted his

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

That is absolutely ridiculous.

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

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.
