Class 3A Leading Returning 3-Point Shooters

<p><span style="font-size: 10pt;"><strong>Minimum 50 attempts</strong></span></p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><strong>1.) 2022 [player_tooltip player_id="1158421" first="Bo" last="Huston"] (Dallas Center-Grimes) - 48/92 (52.2%)</strong></p> <p>A lefty flamethrower, Huston has benefitted from playing alongside the high-scoring [player_tooltip player_id="682270" first="Cole" last="Glasgow"], and assist machine [player_tooltip player_id="796144" first="Luke" last="Rankin"], getting him some wide-open looks. He has improved his ability to create his own shot, and turned into more of a playmaker himself, which will certainly benefit his all-around game and the Mustangs as a whole. He’s one of the elite shooting threats in the state, and when he gets it rolling, watch out because he’ll bury five in a row on you in the blink of an eye.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><a href="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/ph/uploads/2021/06/Colby-Collison-crop-2826x1855-1624031774.jpg"><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-1218566" src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/ph/uploads/2021/06/Colby-Collison-crop-2826x1855-1624031774-300x197.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="197" /></a><strong>2.) 2023 [player_tooltip player_id="956874" first="Colby" last="Collison"] (Bondurant-Farrar) - 31/61 (50.8%)</strong></p> <p>Collison is a versatile scoring threat who lets the game come to him, and he has a knack for knowing when to take over. Unlike some of the other players on this list, he doesn't rely on his 3-point stroke for his scoring. Instead, he uses his ability to stroke it to open up the rest of his game, getting opponents to close out hard and then getting by them and getting to the rim.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><strong>3.) 2023 [player_tooltip player_id="1167726" first="Luke" last="Korver"] (MOC-Floyd Valley) - 62/126 (49.2%)</strong></p> <p>Korver's 62 made 3-pointers last year rank fifth among 3A returnees, but he shot them at a significantly higher clip than any of the other high-volume shooters. He moves really well off the ball, utilizing off-ball screens to find space to get his shot off with a quick release.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><strong>4.) 2022 [player_tooltip player_id="1158482" first="Sam" last="Slight"] (Storm Lake) - 27/56 (48.2%)</strong></p> <p>One of two Tornadoes on this list, Slight is a smooth 6-5 wing who uses his size and length to get his shot off whenever he wants. He posted impressive 53-48-76 shooting splits last year while leading the team in scoring (13.1) and rebounding (6.4).</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><strong>5.) 2022 [player_tooltip player_id="1234981" first="Sam" last="Hlas"] (ADM) - 52/113 (46.0%)</strong></p> <p>A sniper with a quick release, Hlas accounted for over 33% of the Tigers' made 3-pointers last year, and he should thrive in what is expected to be an up-tempo system under new coach Trevor Mickelson.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><a href="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/ph/uploads/2020/10/Kaleb-Booth.jpeg"><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-1067003" src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/ph/uploads/2020/10/Kaleb-Booth-300x197.jpeg" alt="" width="300" height="197" /></a><strong>6.) 2022 [player_tooltip player_id="962631" first="Kaleb" last="Booth"] (Carroll) - 54/121 (44.6%)</strong></p> <p>Booth is a dynamic offensive player with limitless range and a knack for putting the ball in the bucket. He is one of the best shooters off the dribble in the state, stopping on a dime and elevating into his smooth jumper.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><strong>7.) 2022 [player_tooltip player_id="1234973" first="Sam" last="Dvergsten"] (Storm Lake) - 34/77 (44.2%)</strong></p> <p>The 5-10 guard is part of a very balanced Tornadoes attack, averaging 8.8 points a game. He's a sharpshooter who shot better from 3 (44.2%) than 2 (40.2%) as a junior.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><a href="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/ph/uploads/2021/07/Brayson-Laube.jpg"><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-1254546" src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/ph/uploads/2021/07/Brayson-Laube-300x169.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="169" /></a><strong>8.) 2023 [player_tooltip player_id="956878" first="Brayson" last="Laube"] (Marion) - 64/145 (44.1%)</strong></p> <p>Laube burst onto the scene as a freshman two years ago for Marion, when he knocked down 53 3-pointers at a 44.2% clip. He followed that up with 11 more 3s at an almost identical clip as a sophomore. He keeps growing, getting longer, and improving as a ball-handler, decision-maker, and shot creator. He's on the radar of mid-majors around the Midwest in large part due to his remarkable shooting abilities. </p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><strong>9.) 2022 [player_tooltip player_id="1158466" first="Caleb" last="Dreckman"] (Le Mars) - 47/109 (43.1%)</strong></p> <p>A 6-2 wing who moves well off the ball and is improving as a shot creator, Dreckman buried 47 3-pointers last year, which accounted for nearly 56% of his made field goals. He pairs with Brady Williams to give the Bulldogs one of the top shooting backcourts in 3A.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><a href="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/ph/uploads/2021/03/IMG_14331-e1623861936252.jpg"><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-1152259" src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/ph/uploads/2021/03/IMG_14331-e1623861936252-300x214.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="214" /></a><strong>10.) 2022 [player_tooltip player_id="962617" first="Noah" last="Allen"] (Pella) - 45/105 (42.9%)</strong></p> <p>Allen transferred to Pella from Newton before his junior year, and he was a key scorer off the bench for the Dutch en route to the 3A championship. He's a sharpshooting guard who made his name known with his ability to move off the ball and shoot it off the catch, but he has also really improved his ability to create his own shot and shoot it off the bounce. He's primed for a huge year for Pella, as they look to repeat.</p>
