Did abdul-aziz predate the 3 point line? I wonder if he would have averaged significantly more if so. Like didn't someone do the math on pistol pete and he would have been at like 50 ppg or some ****.

Yes, Don Smith (Abdul-Aziz) was late 60's. It was illegal to dunk during that period.Did abdul-aziz predate the 3 point line? I wonder if he would have averaged significantly more if so. Like didn't someone do the math on pistol pete and he would have been at like 50 ppg or some ****.
Jeff hornacek only got two years with a three point line if I remember right. Not only that but very few plays were designed for a three point shot at that point
Him and Tinsley both coach now if I’m not mistakenOver the past few years I keep hearing a ton about how passionate Marcus Fizer (Sr.) was/is about Iowa State. I think he even mentioned wanting to be a coach here. I am not sure about his coaching abilities, but an interesting consideration if an opening presents itself for an assistant job. It would be really cool if his son develops into a power 5 level player and came here.
Oh boy, some rarified air here. Don Smith (Abdul-Aziz), Jeff Grayer, Marcus Fizer!!! To me 3 of the top 6 to ever play at ISU. One could make an argument that these 3 were the top 3 ever!
Gary Thompson needs to be in there
Known as the "Roland Rocket", Gary Thompson came to Iowa State University from the small town of Roland, Iowa to become one of the Cyclones' first cage stars. A 5'10 guard, Thompson was the first Iowa State player to score more than 1,000 points and the first player in school history to tally 40 points in a game. As a senior in 1956–57, Thompson earned consensus second team All-American honors, first team All-America status from the Associated Press, and was named Big Seven Conference player of the year, beating out Kansas star Wilt Chamberlain. Thompson excelled in a second sport as well, leading Iowa State to the 1957 College World Series as a star shortstop.[1]
Man! I wonder how many more games we would have won with a 3 pt line when Hornacek, Barry Stevens, and Ron Virgil played. They made a ton of shots way beyond the arch
Yeah, other teams would be shooting them too.I would guess not as many as you probably think.
the 3 point line was instituted the year after he graduated. Elmer was the only guy on that 86-87 team that was a threat. Thompkins worked his ass off and made himself a 3pt threat the next year
I have not followed this kid at all, and have no idea if he'd be a take,, but love the question at the end if this interview.
Q: Where do you see yourself in 5 years?
A: Hopefully playing at Iowa State.

No, no, no. When Stevens played the Big 8 had huge posts that wore out Hill and Moss. Ever heard of Hoppen and Stipanovich?Probably about the same if 3 point shots counted for the opponents.
I remember they had hornacek come out to Johnny Orr’s basketball camp and he was messing around shooting half court shots on the courts at lied. He was draining them, rarely missed.Jeff hornacek only got two years with a three point line if I remember right. Not only that but very few plays were designed for a three point shot at that point
