TAY WALLER BEST SHOOTER IN COLLEGE

2008-09 SEC Nothin But Net Award
Posted by hoopsknowitall on July 13, 2009
Continuing the series, this award goes to the most efficient three-point shooter in the conference. This category, as a whole, is mostly positive and doesnt rely too heavily on any others, although three-point percentage and number of attempts would be relevant. While its possible for a poor shooter to make this list, its not likely.

Now, for the standard explanation of this whole process you can skip this if youve read it before

These awards are meant to effectively and accurately pick the best (and worst) performers in each category. Thus, a line was drawn roughly around the area of 15 games played and/or 40 minutes 1 full game played as a minimum. This was done to limit the effect of outliers bringing to our attention surprising walk-ons that could be, according to the stats, future superstars.
Obviously, these awards are not all-encompassing. Players that transferred or any other players that didnt play for any reason last season are not included.
Be sure to understand that each of these categories, alone, are misleading. For example, if a player won Least Minutes/Assist but also finished last in Least Minutes/Turnover, it is not as impressive. Combining these rankings and statistics will give a more clear and well-rounded picture, but these rankings are fun nonetheless.




The winner is




TAY WALLER Auburn, Senior 10.40 Last Year: N.A.
This is a pretty shocking upset, as Waller was practically unknown amongst the media types who regularly drooled over Kentuckys Jodie Meeks. Waller provided a vast majority of Auburns points from behind the arc 272 attempts worth and brought down a solid percentage of those shots. Waller is a reliable ball-handler, a somewhat streaky shooter overall and a great shot from the charity stripe.

The others

2. Jodie Meeks Kentucky, NBA Draft 10.57 Last Year: 15.94
Meeks was the super-star shooter of the SEC last season, and for good reason. Meeks easily led the conference by hitting 40.6% of his 288 attempts from long-range, which also led the league. Meeks carried the Wildcats a season ago, with his speed and pure shooting ability nearly unstoppable for five opponents to guard, much less one.

3. Rotnei Clarke Arkansas, Sophomore 11.37 Last Year: N.A.
One of only two Razorbacks to start every game last season, Clarke likely would have challenged, if not won, SEC Freshman of the Year had he played for a team that didnt crash and burn worse than the Hindenburg. Clarke as a freshman, mind you shot nearly 40% from behind the arc, 93.5% from the charity stripe, and managed a 1.28 assist-to-turnover ratio. This kid will be a superstar if and when Arkansas ever gets some feet beneath its program.
