Yep, I've thought about that. 

Phil was something. I think it's reasonable to say that Phil might very well have averaged 6-8 points more per game with the three point shot. And that might be conservative. Over 120 or so game career, he might have scored another 1,000 pts , or so. Another thousand added to his 2,400 points that he scored  would put him among the top five or six scorers all time. And , again, that might be a conservative estimate.

Btw, Phil was the career points leader at Vandy at the time his career ended(I think he's still top 5) and he had no three-point shot in college, either.  Can you imagine what his career numbers at Vandy would have been with the three-pointer? Btw, Phil's first college game as a freshman--- scored  30 points and beat Duke at  Duke.  Not too shabby. 

The most prolific scorer that I ever saw play was Ervin "Magic" Stepp of Phelps. What a scoring machine!!! Ervin never saw a shot he didn't like. Dude averaged almost 54 ppg the year I graduated high school. Think about that--- he AVERAGED almost 54 a game.

His brother James played at Sue Bennett. Mike maxey set the 3 point record at cumberlands before brad gover broke it.
You’re telling your age now lol. The one on those Burg teams that didn’t get any pub but was a great defender and PG was Michael berry. And Sanford was a full grown man. Tim Cornett was an athlete and James was the shooter. Guy from OBI Ben Franklin couple of years before was a badddd man. Maxey was solid

Kid's shooting range was infinity. Saw him many times launch it from 35-40 ft.
Just didn’t play a lick of defense. Best player from the Camp IMO was Ronnie Garland. Played O and D


Roger Bolton says , "hold both of my Buds."
I liked Tony Morton from Corbin. Nicest bad man ever lol


Tony's a friend. Very nice guy. Pretty darn good ball player, too.

He was second team all-state last year in the Herald Leader and third team all state in the Courier Journal as a junior. He helped HC win three state tournament games. He has already committed to a Division I school.
Not too many 13th Region players have marked all those boxes in the last 30 years or so.

I love Maddox's game.
