Kansas basketball: Ranking the 10 greatest 3-point shooters in Jayhawks history

10. Milt Newton (1984-1989)

Kansas basketball career 3-point shooting stats: 100-224, 44.6%, 1.0 3PM

A vital part of KU’s national championship-winning roster in 1988, Newton took massive steps as a senior while leading Roy Williams’ first team at Kansas. In addition to averaging 17.7 points, he shot 45.5% from range on 4.6 attempts per game. A year prior, Newton had shot 45.3% from outside. Let’s just say he didn’t miss them all that often.

The 3-point line was not introduced in Newton’s playing career until he was a sophomore. He only averaged 3.2 points per game as a frosh, though, so his numbers likely would not have changed all too much, even if it was around.

Despite technically landing on our “last” spot of players on the list, Newton’s career 44.6% 3-point percentage is the best of any player here. We bumped him down a few spots due to the time he played in, but Milt Newton was one helluva shooter.
