I'd call 44%+ elite.
38-44% good, but not knockdown.
35%-37% decent.

And anything below 35% average to below average as you go down.

And I guess my other point has been missed completely. Those that are NBA draft evaluators do not evaluate college prospects on their shooting by their 3 point percentage, they look at free throw percentage. A good free throw percentage to them means that a prospect's stroke is good and their three will eventually translate very well.

There's literally been two guys in NBA history north of 44%. Neither took more than 2.5 per game.

Monk will likely be a good shooter in the NBA. He's got a pure stroke, good release, elevates well. His questions will be defending bigger guys and whether or not he can run an NBA offense as the point.

I think Brad Beal would be a pretty good player comp for him.

Canyon Barry grannies that shite in at nearly ninety percent. He's not a great shooter by any means.

So you think Steve Kerr and Hubert Davis are the only elite shooters in the history of the league.

You also think Curry, Thompson, Ray Allen, Reggie Miller are good but not knockdown.
