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

range shots. A 3 point line would drop his FG% in college. I think it's a wash. If Since played as many games as Jimmer and Haws he would be the leading scorer. But he didn't. So he isn't. Doesn't mean he's not great.

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,

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

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.

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.

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

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.

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.
