<p>We take a deeper look at some of the top shooters from behind the three-point arc in the class of 2021 which has plenty of talented shooters.  This will be a two part series.  Keep an eye out on these players once basketball returns!</p> <p>Caleb Stockton | Colorado Springs Christian </p> <p>Stockton is a three year varsity player who has been contributing ever since his freshman year.  This past season as a junior he shot (78/231) from deep for 34%, his 231 attempts from three led the junior class.  He averaged 18.0 PPG, 6.0 APG, 4.8 RPG, 2.3 SPG, leading Colorado Springs Christian in all those categories besides rebounds.  In his career he is shooting 35% from behind the arc (167/475) and will have a big senior season ahead of him.  He is a volume shooter, shooting ten or more threes in twelve of the 24 games he played in this season.  Keep an eye on him going forward.    </p> <p>[player_tooltip player_id="916979" first="Tanner" last="Lamb"] | Legend </p> <p>Lamb averaged 13.8 PPG and 2.2 RPG this season for Legend shooting (72/145) for 50% from three-point range.  He is a smart shooter who does not force many bad shots and does a nice job of moving without the ball and getting himself open looks.  He has a quick release and good range on his shot, not many people are able to shoot 50% from deep on that many attempts during a season. Lamb can shoot off the dribble, and makes the right read when drawing multiple defenders.  He led the team in scoring this year and will play a major role next season as well with a couple of key seniors graduating this spring.  He scored a career high of 24 points in the first round of the playoffs, going five of seven from deep.  He will be one of the top shooters next year as well, be on the lookout for him. </p> <p>Kyle Wisniewski | Lakewood </p> <p>Lakewood is a junior heavy team that should be fun to watch this upcoming year as they transition into their senior years.  Wisniewski is one of the leaders for Lakewood, he averaged 11.3 PPG, 2.5 RPG, 1.3 SPG while shooting (71/180) for 39% from behind the arc.  He has good size at 6'6 and is able to shot over smaller defenders as well as take bigger posts out on the perimeter and make them uncomfortable.  He was second on the team in scoring and led them in makes from deep.  He benefits from having a solid guard to play off of as well in Bennett.  </p> <p>[player_tooltip player_id="965765" first="Mikey" last="Babi"] | Bennett </p> <p>Babi averaged 18.3 PPG, 3.5 RPG, 2.3 APG, 2.9 SPG shooting (71/207) for 34% from deep this season.  He is a volume shooter as well, shooting ten or more threes in eleven games this year.  He is a guard that can score from all three levels as well, shooting 51% from inside the arc (71/140).  He ended the season scoring double figures in their last four games, Bennett had a fairly young team this past season and it will be interesting to see how they do in the upcoming year.  </p> <p>[player_tooltip player_id="916972" first="Cade" last="Palmer"] | Rangeview </p> <p>Palmer has been on a very talented Rangeview roster for several years now and tends to get over looked, in 2020 they will have several key seniors graduating which will leave room for Palmer to be one of the focal points next season.  He is one of the best shooters in the state, shooting (66/149) for 44% this past season as a junior averaging 10.4 PPG.  He moves well with the ball and is able to create this own shot as well, he's a high IQ player that does not force many mistakes and does a nice job of finding open teammates.     </p> <p>Westin Miller | Wheat Ridge </p> <p>Miller will have more of a leading role next season with the top two leading scorers being seniors for Wheat Ridge this past season.  Miller was third on the team in scoring at 11.1 points per game to go along with his 3.0 RPG, 2.0 APG, 1.5 SPG shooting (62/132) for 47% from three.  He also shot an impressive 93% from the charity strip going (50/54).    </p> <p>[player_tooltip player_id="770444" first="Tom" last="Connelly"] | Denver East </p> <p>Connelly is a player with good size at 6'4 and plays on a talented Denver East team in which sometimes he doesn't always get the credit he deserves.  He shot (62/163) for 38% from three-point range this past season averaging 9.5 PPG and 2.3 RPG.  He is a player that has seen major varsity time since his sophomore year, in his career he is shooting 40% from three (105/265).  He can shoot off the dribble but does the best in rhythm catch and shooting situations, and does a nice job of moving without the ball keeping the defense on a  swivel.</p>
