Felton shot 44% on 3-pts his last year in college and Paul was a career 47% 3-pt shooter in college. I would say that is much more consistant than 30.4%

Without even looking at the stats I would bet that those guys took way more 3s than Jr. Especially Felton who was more of a scorer/volume shooter at the PG position than Paul or Conley ever was. Your point is taken,but it still doesn't speak to my point about not having to be a sharpshooter,or even a "good/consistent" outside shooter to get drafted in the top ten if you're the best PG.

These guys didn't get drafted that high because of their shooting or lack there of. If Mike isn't in this group of players then I don't know who is. It's the same thing with Greg,while everyone was harping on his offense all year to create some "competition" with Durant,they forgot what made him a phenom in the first place. Greg Oden was the #1 pick last year because of his defense,he's the #1 pick this year because of his defense,and he would be the #1 pick next year because of his defense. Conely's shooting won't hurt his draft position.
