Arizona's star

Have you ever watched an Arizona basketball game? If you have then you know who Salim Stoudamire is. This kid is an amazing player who is going to blow up in the NBA next year. This McDonald's All-American guard from Oregon has had four amazing seasons at Arizona. Each year he has improved his scoring. He went from averaging 12.8 pts a game as a freshman to averaging 18.4 pts as a senior. Most players in college would consider it an honor to score 1,000 pts in their college career. Salim Stoudamire has scored 3849 pts in four years at Arizona, scoring over 1,000 in his first year there. These stats are very impressive. What impresses me most is that Stoudamire doesn't take a bunch of shots each game to gain his average. He is leading the entire nation in 3pt field goal percentage. He is shooting exactly 50% from 3pt. To give everyone an idea of how good that is - shooting 40% from 3pt range is considered to be excellent. Statistically, every two 3's he takes, one of them goes in. GIVE THAT MAN THE BALL!!!!!!
