re: Pistol Pete died 28 years ago today

44 points per game over 3 years without the 3-point shot. Averaged 40 plus as a freshman. Dale Brown charted all of his shots in college and estimated he averaged 13 3-pointers per game. So, 57 points per game average potentially. Yes, maybe defenders step out if he's taking a 3, but do you remember how well he could drive and shoot free throws (30 for 31 in 1 game). You come out on Pete and he drives right past you, so. 69 against Alabama and 68 against Walt Frazier and the Knicks, AND fouled out of that game on a bogus offensive foul with time left in the game.
