He seemingly put every ounce of strength he had into his deepest shot attempts.Jeff82 said:
I think Randle might have been the best on that list, purely because his MO, when the defense moved out on him, was simply to step back another foot and fire away. He had amazing range for a guy that was not very big.
Duck was a good shot, but didn't make the lists.blungld said:
I would have thought that Randy Duck's name would be on one of those lists.
Shipp was about average.HearstMining said:I would have expected to see Joe Shipp on this list. Maybe my memory is faulty.drizzlybear said:NathanAllen said:It depends on how you define it. On a season-basis, you're forgetting Billy Dreher in 1991. According to Cal's record book, here are the top-10 season 3P% with at least 50 attempts in the season.KoreAmBear said:Theo was probably the most accurate/efficient 3 point since I've been following Cal hoops (since my freshman year 1988). Do the stats back me up?wifeisafurd said:He could be streaky, but yes, definitely a quality shooter. Monty always seemed to have several good shooters as options.KoreAmBear said:I was also impressed how good of a shooter PC was.wifeisafurd said:
Just looking back at some of those great moments tells me how far the program has tumbled since Monty retired.
Billy Dreher - 50.0% (1991)
Theo Robertson - 48.7% (2009)
Matt Bradley - 47.2% (2019)
Bill Elleby - 46.4% (1992)
Jerome Randle - 46.2% (2009)
Keith Smith - 46.2% (1990)
Theo Robertson - 45.3% (2010)
Omar Wilkes - 45.3% (2006)
Ryan Forehan-Kelly - 45.3% (2000)
Richard Midgley - 44.9% (2003)
That Randle/Robertson combo in 2008-2009 was fire.
But if you're going for the total career, yes, the stats back you up and Theo was the most efficient three-point shooter of all-time.
Theo Robertson (2006-2010) - 44.0%
Billy Dreher (1991-1992) - 43.1%
Grant Mullins (2017) - 43.0%
Matt Bradley (2019-present) - 41.7%
Jordan Matthews (2014-2016) - 41.7%
Keith Smith (1987-1990) - 41.3%
Bill Elleby (1989-1992) - 41.0%
Ryan Forehan-Kelly (1999-2002) - 40.7%
Jerome Randle (2007-2010) - 40.5%
Omar Wilkes (2006-2007) - 40.4%
Love seeing those names. I'd say Bradley is the best. If he got the open looks most of the other guys on that list (excepting Randle and Smith, two other favorites), he'd be above 50%. Bradley has the most consistent shot I think I've ever seen in a Cal uniform.

Except that if you widened the court, the arc wouldn't have to be shortened - duh!Cal8285 said:I disagree that it is a flaw. The baseline 3 is the shortest distance shot for which 3 points are awarded. The easier distance should be offset by something more difficult, and it is, the narrow space between the 3 point line and the sideline.HoopDreams said:I think you're right, but didn't actually know this.SFCityBear said:
Not only that, but the shot in the corners is different, because with the three point line moved closer to the sideline, the shooter now has to pay a little more attention to where the sideline is so he has both feet in bounds when he shoots the shot.
that's a flaw on today's basketball courts ... that the width of the court doesn't allow for players to comfortably shoot a baseline 3. Seems like they almost have to tip toe to stay in bounds and take that shot

Theo got a shout out from Kerr tonight after the W's Knicks game.
Said that Theo and Chris DeMarco have been working with Wiseman on slipping screens and moving without the ball over the past few weeks (after a question about Wiseman learning to do that).

He was a fun/exciting player to watch.
One of my favorites. I recall when he arrived, he was just a kid who looked out of place due to size.
When he left he was a giant.
