How efficient can one shooter be? DJ Fenner with a night

[battle.borne]

DJ Fenner scored 37 points on just 15 shots in the rivalry game rout of UNLV.  I'm not sure many players in Nevada history could claim such a level of offensive efficiency.  Does the NCAA keep track of efficiency stats?

The improvement from Fenner this year has been incredible. He went from shooting 0% from 3 his freshman year, to 21% his sophomore, 30% his junior, up to 49% this year which leads the conference. I don't think I've ever seen a shooter improve the way he has. 

He's also shooting 49%fgs up from 37% last year, which is an incredible number for a guard. 

If he plays well against SDSU I'd imagine he'll be player of the week.

 

This team just has so many weapons, it would truly be a shame if we don't make the tournament this year.

The only Nevada player who comes close in my memory is Kyle Shiloh. He was one of the worst off-guard shooters I have ever seen at the D-I level in his freshman and sophomore seasons, and he ended up shooting better than 40 percent from 3 over his last two years (though his shot remained ugly as sin).

Ex-CSU guard John Gillon had 43 on only 13 shots about a week or so ago for Syracuse.

depends how you define efficiency. malik story had a similar stat line in 2011, 34 on 14 shots. tyron criswell had 26 in 10 shots in 2015. burton had 28 from 11 shots in 2011.

 

it's really just about free throws. in terms of pure fga/fgm there has been 6 games with the same or better fg%  ≥  10fga. this only goes back to '10-'11, i don't care enough about reno basketball to do further research
