*** Official West Virginia vs #3 IOWA STATE Game(Day) Thread ***

Royce had the raw talent and was a better ball handler, but JJ is playing like a very cerebral point guard, a level of seeing the game Royce didn’t have. Like our mini Jokic.

To me Royce was a more athletic/explosive version of Jefferson. Better ball handler then Jefferson too. Jefferson a better shooter and not a head case.
 
Just to add on, it appears only 15 players since '92 have shot over 50%, obviously with various 3 point depths. Nobody since the line moved to the current distance.

So he’d be like second on that list right now?

Edit: I think he’d be number one at 56.3% if my math is right

royce also did it in an era where the spacing and shooting on isu was something unique and hard to prepare for. now its the way most everyone plays offense.

What a joke the ACC is compared to past decades.

What a joke it is to still have conference names associated with geography or to even call them conferences.
