Josh Hubbard is the best shooter at MSU since……
- Thread starter 57stratdawg
- Start date
I was tempted to compare him to Darrell, but I was afraid I would get verbally smacked.
As a freshman, he may only compare to Jeff Malone.
And keep in mind the line is much farther back and he is still shooting well behind it most times.
He’s the only shooter on the team.
He is a good shot, but he can create his own shot. Wilson, not so much. That being said if Wilson got an open one, he usually nailed it. Hubbard isn't as automatic. Now if Hubbard had Russel Walters or Whit Hughes setting screens for him as Wilson did........
Not even close to the same level as Malone. If there had been a three point line then........ I was a student his last years at MSU.
Malone best pure shooter I have seen at State
Ravern Johnson shot 40% from 3 in 2008-10. Hubbard is at 35.5% this year.
Ahh yes. Coahoma county Ravern Trying to hit on my wife in his plane Jane charger as I rolled by with her hanging out the window of a 2SS Camaro custom cut outs, breather, short throw shifter, turbo on top of that LS3…….blue smoke for yards.
I'm glad he's here and he's a good shooter, but I think the perception of him as something special from a pure shooting standpoint is skewed by how awful a shooting team we have been under Jans.
Seems a lot of folks here have forgotten that one of the better players in MSU history finished his career pretty recently.
Q was a 48% career shooter overall, and hit 37% from 3 for his career. 39% as a frosh.

Just looked them up
as freshmen
Darryl Wilson - 37%; 67/181 (1st year as sophomore
Rodney Hood - 36.4%; 47/129
Josh Hubbard - 35.2%; 62/176
Jeff Malone - no stats
Malone was a mid-range specialist. He was great, but Wilson shots were daggers in the heart.
Shane Power over two seasons from 3: 95/228 - 41.7%
If we get another shooter, things will open up a little more for Hubbard. Still hoping Fort can come around this year.
For me, what makes Hubbard different than almost anyone we have had is Hubbard can create his shots. I don't recall ever seeing that in a State uniform as much as Hubbard does, and I am a HUGE Wilson fan.
There is no other answer, as far as I'm concerned. Jeff Malone was ridiculously fluid as a shooter. God only knows what damage he could have done from the 3-point line....that man was an assassin from the corner.
Jeff Malone and Darryl Wilson are in a category apart from the rest. There may have been others prior to my era (read: pre-1975), so I could be unwittingly excluding others.
In the 82-83 season, Malone scored 777 points without a 3 point line. He is still holds the MSU record for most points in a season.

He’s a 35 percent 3 point shooter. We’ve had tons of shooters better.
He’s not a top 25 shooter in the sec. Heck he’s not even the top 3 point shooter in this very state.
He’s talented. Hopefully he’ll continue to improve. But in no way is he even an elite shooter right now. Let alone to be mentioned with Daryl and Malone.
he’s streaky. Give me the 3 guys from Kentucky, the transfer from Tennessee. One of about 4 guys at Alabama. Just to name a few… could name a few others as well…. To take a shot to win me a game, and it’s not even close

The data won't back it up, but Winsome Frazier never missed an open 3.
I was at a game at Arkansas Frazier hit 5-3's in a row to start the game. Arky fans were in shock, and they never recovered! If we had him, we would be sweet sixteen at the least. Still remember Frazier driving that beat up old jalopy around Starkville with I believe his wife and a kid or 2 hanging out the windows. Dude was super nice.
Dee Bost, Winsome Frazier Timmy Bowers and Ravern Johnson. Josh is right up there
