Josh Hubbard is the best shooter at MSU since……

Ravern Johnson or Barry (Randy) Stewart is probably the correct answer to this question. Wilson & Malone have the best two jump shots since I have been watching MSU baskbetball (early 70's)
Winsome Frazier was a great perimeter defender. He could have played for Jans.
The line is much farther back though and he is forced to create so many shots. His 35% is much more valuable than anyone’s else’s 35%. He doesn’t have the luxury of just spotting up and waiting for a kick out. The line was 19 feet 9 inches when Wilson played. It’s almost 2.5 feet deeper now.
his 35% is more valuable how?
Relative to the league. He’s barely a top 25 shooter in the league. And the rest of the league is shooting from that same line.
he isn’t forced to take those shots. He chooses to take them. One could argue with all the doubling of Tolu he actually gets more open looks than some others on the list.
the 3 point line hasn’t been 19-9 since 2008. There also no 3 point line prior to 87.
if our best shooter in history is barely a top 25 shooter in the league and only shoots 35 from 3 then our history must be filled with bad shooters. Sheppard at Kentucky shoots over 50 percent and creates a lot of his shots off the bounce along with numerous others
it’s hard to compare eras of basketball. However relatively to his peers, Hubbards 35 % doesn’t demonstrate anything elite. It’s very very average. As someone else said. He’ll likely leave with plenty of numbers, but it’s unlikely he leaves as the best “shooter” in history
Shak Moore shoots 37%. I think Hubbard is much more valuable as a 3 pt shooter bc he can create his own shot. He can knock it down from 24 feet. He is his own offense. Not to mention he is great getting to the line on a 3 and he draws the attention of the defense.
It’s not just a straight numbers game. Cam shoots better than Tolu around the rim but I don’t think anyone would suggest we start making him priority one in the post.
I’m not comparing Hubbard to shaq. I’m comparing Hubbard to good shooters in the league. His 35 percent is exactly what it is. Very average. 29th in the league actually.
Hubbard looks a lot better with us because we have no guards. He’s a very average shooter and very average guard in this league so far. He’s a volume scorer and that’s not always a good thing. Hopefully he continues to improve.
shot selection is part of being a good shooter. Just because he can knock it down from 24 feet doesn’t mean it’s a good shot. And I’d probably guess he’s shooting less than 20 percent from that range if not worse than that. We seem to remember the long makes but not the long misses
More threads pop up about how great a 35 percent shooter is. We’ve watched so much poor shooting outings in the last 2-3 years we think an average shooter is great now…. Hubbard would be the 4th best 3 point shooter on Kentucky, 5th on Alabama, 3rd at ole miss, 3rd at Tennessee… im sure there are more I just got tired of looking
We have already got a package for him. I think he will be the most play player on the team. I have been told by my sources, that Tulo was given $1 million, and Kentucky was on him, also we had arranged to give Andrew Taylor $550,000 but we will not have to pay him as he failed in his obligation. We are fine in basketball, Josh Hubbard is an outstanding player and we will keep him in maroon and white.
crazy that Taylor got $550,000. He could shoot, but I didn't see the speed that he needed to defend. Hope we got our money back.
Chris Jackson, if you are talking about pure shooting form. I said what I said.
Thing that made Super D super was that he normally had his best games against the best competition. He actually didn't even get to play his freshman year because he was a prop 48.
He and Bullard on the floor was fun to watch! Not to mention the rest of the team.
Dude the thread is the best shooter in basically a long time. He ain’t that. Period.
glad the shot went in.
Scroll up this thread. There have been many named.
from a statistical stand point. There are even more. A 38% shooter, 35% from 3… is very average. Until those numbers get better, this thread is comical
Even with the line being farther back. He’s not even in the top 25 shooters in the sec this season. We’ve had plenty better. He’s got potential l, but as of now, threads like this shouldn’t be started
Randy Stewart as a freshman. And Stewart for his career overall.
Arnett Moultrie for the 1 year he played at MSU.
Tyson Carter as a freshman.
Q as a freshman and for his career overall.
Malik Newman as a freshman during his 1 year at MSU.
Aric Holman for his last 2 years.
Dee Bost for his career overall.
I don't feel like going back any more than this.
Everyone listed above could shoot well and score.
The fact he got that or anything close to that shows me we have issues finding talent. That dude was soft….
Hubert Henderson for the win… Bob Boyd took that loser over Derrick McKey who then went to Bama and kicked out asses every game. Always went up to Boyd after games telling him… he wanted to go to State…. I saw and heard him say it TWICE coming off the floor…
Well technically he didn’t get 550k because he didn’t stay. He got a very small portion of that for the time he was here.
He was also highly sought after by numerous teams so it’s not like State was the only one that would have wiffed.
