3. Jordan Hulls 44.3% 3pt, 4.2 attempts (career)

Bloomington homebody Jordan Hulls makes the next spot on our list.

Unlike Watford, Hulls came into his college career as a sniper. He attempted 3.8 threes per game his freshman season (more than Watford ever attempted in a season) and hit 40.2% of them.

From there, Hulls just kept building. Attempting between 4-5 threes per game each of the next three years, Hulls averaged over 40% every season. His most successful shooting year came as a junior, where he converted a mind-boggling 49.3% of his long-distance shots (sixth-best in the NCAA that season)

Hulls was a more versatile shooter than Zeisloft. In addition to catch-and-shoots, Hulls could shoot out of the pick and roll, had a silky 15-foot pull-up, and could even hit some off-dribble shots from three too. However, his versatility as a shooter does not match the other two players on our list.
