re: I did the Caitlin Clark/Pistol Pete math

It's time to kill this narrative. Pete Maravich was a volume chucker who was a detriment to his own team in college. He put up monstrous numbers on subpar efficiency. The name of the game in basketball is scoring more efficiently than your opponent. Maravich was not only less efficient than his opponents, his shooting % was vastly inferior to his own teammates. And he only got away with it because his dad was his coach and gave him the ultimate green light
