A discrete cadre of ACC players annually hit 3-pointers at a better clip than field goals overall. Many of these shooters, year in and year out, happen to be freshmen. They also are, for the most part, reserves who see on average under 10 minutes of action per game.
In recent memory, 2020 saw a handsome assemblage of nine shooters better from beyond the arc than inside it. In 2021 there were seven. In 2022 there were five. Last year a mere three came back. Two more left their 2023 posts, angling for more promising pastures after battling injuries.
