wouldnt classify him as a great shooter, a great athlete who plays basketball yes but not a great shooter.  if you're talking just shooter AJ Abrams is a better "shooter" than KD is, KD is a better "scorer" than Abrams.  but neither of them belong on a top 10 shooter list.  The best "shooters" I can remember from UT would be Reggie Freeman back when Penders was in Austin, and then the old BMW crew in the early 1990s Lance Blanks, Travis Mays and Joey Wright.

Hey DenisGScott, Here's one for you. Former UT Longhorn Jim Krivacs!! I used to love watching this guy play,he could shoot the lights out!!! He played in the late 70's. He is know a big time sports agent. He was one of the all time Indiana HS. greats.He is not one of the 10 best ever,but when he was hot he could score from anywhere.

There are a few others that should have gotten consideration, too:

Alex Dillard (Arkansas)-Was on the team that had Williamson, Scotty Thurman, etc. that won the title in '94 and had GREAT NBA-type range.

Curtis Staples (Virginia)- DEADLY from 3. Every bit the shooter Redick was.

Erik Piatkowski (Nebraska)- Prolific 3-point shooter for the Huskers that made his career in the NBA with that jumper.

Fred Hoiberg (Iowa State)- See above

Tommy Sewell (LAMAR)- Great perimeter shooter for the Cards in the early 80's prior to the 3-point era. Drafted in either the first or second round by the 76ers in 1984. Was on one of Pat Foster's last teams and I would argue that was the beginning of the end of Lamar's glory days that would end during Tom Abatemarco's reign as coach.

I think Bird was the best shooter and player in college and pros. As a player, Magic is right there, but Bird was the better shooter. Just because Magic beat Bird for the national title doesn't mean he is a better shooter.

JJ Reddick is the best all time 3 point shooter.

I think Lamar's Mike Oliver scored the most points in the nation one year. Not sure where he ranks on the career points list

nice effort but how do you put Pistol Pete at #10 behind JJ Redick, Mayberry could stroke it him and Todd Day both for Arky.  Dennis Scott is good one, and Glen Rice in his Michigan days.  Or Chris Jackson in his LSU days.  Mookie Blaylock and Tim McAlister from Oklahoma circa late 80s.

    • Bye Week beat Beaumont United by double digits so not all is bad 😁
    • He made the comment as a business man he hated overtime. He never said or implied he wanted to do away with it. He has said overtime should not be taxed. That will benefit the refinery workers in our area big time…..as well as nurses. Not only would you not pay taxes and see the benefit immediately on your paycheck, my guess that at the end of the year, you would subtract all the overtime from your total wages, thus lowering your taxable imcome.
    • Well I thought it would be a better matchup for us more so than us versus yall and we got whooped 🤷🏾‍♂️ we'll see, long time before Ball High meets Lufkin though. 
    • Very critical win for Crosby last night. At no point has the current regime given me any reason to think Crosby should be able to pencil in wins but for the sake of discussion I will for FB Kempner who we play two weeks from now and also Porter who we play a couple of weeks after that. That means if Crosby can beat Kingwood Park next week we’ll most likely finish district play 5-2 and in at least 3rd place.    That being, the team could be a lot better if we had a competent offensive coach. Crosby’s offensive philosophy is to give it to Yarbrough and hope he breaks it which is why we lose to team with above average defensive talent. Crosby’s TE Landen Hammer is 6’2” and about 210lbs with crazy ball skills, an absolute mismatch problem and got one target last night. Friendswood realized Crosby had some playmakers on the edges and lots of times gave the receivers a 10 yard cushion. The problem is that Willis doesn’t know that so not once did we just raise up, throw it out to the receiver and give them an opportunity to be an athlete and make a play. So now that we’ve averaged 8 completions per game through our first four contest because 50% of the time Willis chooses to swap out 50% of the offense we look like we “don’t have the receiving talent that we used to.” Yarbrough probably had close to 300 rushing yards last night but I wouldn’t be surprised if he had 35 carries. I like our backup RB but there are several kids who could help Crosby more at that position and Willis chooses not to play them there and feed Yarbrough to the point he couldn’t even finish the game last night. He continues to display an inability to efficiently use his personnel which is why we get blow out by any team with at least equal talent. Maybe something changes but Willis being 6-19 his last two and a half years on the sideline and his inability to shake the Cedar Park model don’t give much hope, which is unfortunate for the kids. 
    • Big girl is trying to make Oprah sound like Bam Morris, who was busted with 220# of weed in the trunk of his car. When the cops opened the truck and found the weed, Bam said,”That’s not mine”. Give me a break.
