Jaycee Carroll no es solo el mejor tirador de Europa, también ha sido el mejor triplista en la liga universitaria estadounidense desde el comienzo de siglo.
Con motivo del inicio de la NCAA, la competición ha querido recordar a los mejores tiradores de la competición desde la temporada 2000-2001. La lista se elaboró teniendo en cuenta a todos aquellos que, durante su carrera en la universidad, anotaron un mínimo de 200 triples.
Nombres ilustres como el de Stephen Curry, JJ Redick o Kyle Korver figuran en la lista de los 77 jugadores con mejor porcentaje. Sin embargo, el que la lidera es el escolta del Real Madrid.
Durante su estancia en Utah State, Carroll anotó la friolera de 369 triples con un porcentaje del 46,5%, lo que le coloca como 29º en la lista histórica de más triples anotados.
También aparecen en la lista viejos conocidos de la ACB, como Chris Lofton (#8), Jimmy Baron (#14), Scott Wood (#47) 0 Taquan Dean (#51), Francis Alonso, canterano del Unicaja (#58) o jugadores con amplia experiencia en la Euroliga como el barcelonista Kevin Pangos (#48), Jon Diebler (#30), Andrew Goudelock (#22) o Brian Roberts (#36).
Esta es la lista completa de los mejores triplistas del siglo:
