2. Yogi Ferrell 39.9% 3pt, 5.0 attempts (career)

The best all-around basketball player to make our list so far, Yogi Ferrell was a lethal shooter.

Ferrell shot very poorly as a freshman, attempting 2.1 threes per game and converting on just 30.3% of them. However, he would attempt a whopping 6.9 threes per game the very next season and hit 40% of them. Ferrell had his most efficient season from long range in his senior year, when he hit 42% of his 5.4 threes per game.

What made Ferrell special was the multitude of ways in which he could make the defense pay with his shooting. Catch-and-shoot? You bet. Pull-ups from anywhere on the court? Mhm. Stepbacks? Oh yeah. And top it off with a signature transition stop-and-pop three-point shot.

Ferrell ranks at #2 on this list because of that versatility as a shooter. He could get the job done in a multitude of ways, and by his senior season, he had established himself as one of the best guards in Indiana University history thanks to his awesome passing ability paired with that sweet stroke.
