It really talks about how hoiberg is on pace to breaking steve kerr's all time record for 3 pt % in a season of 52.4 . Hollinger is saying hoiberg is the best shooter ever. I find it interesting. Finally a national writer comes to hoiberg's side for not being invited to the 3 point competition. Antione walker was, but not hoiberg.

Thoughts? If i were a natinal sports writer ( which im only a prep sports writer right now) i wouldve wrote this during the all star break. The timing is a little off. I still do love the fact that finally a writer has come to hoiberg's side!

Well, are we talking percentage-wise or what? Percentage-wise, it's not too absurd to suggest Hoiberg is one of the bests. However, considering he doesn't shoot as often as guys like Bird, Ray Allen, Peja, etc, I'm not ready to declare him the best ever.

Hollinger is the same guy who mentioned Brad Miller is one of the best passers in the game, so I'm not quite sure where he's pulling this stuff from.

I am talking in general. If he were in the 3 point competition, he wouldve won. If he is open and misses a three, it is like a junior on the high school varsity team missing a layup. It is rare. He still drains shots in peoples faces also. I dont know if you can say he is better than kerr though. Im not convinced anyone will ever be the shooter kerr was. He wasnt only a shooter, he was a clutch shooter. Ig hoiberg can keep this up for like 4 more years, then i will say his name along with kerr's.
