Here are the teams with the most elite 3PT shooters on their roster, based on preseason projections at EvanMiya.com:
BYU has FIVE guys on the list 👇
Adding Robbie Avila to Saint Louis's roster has moved them up to 39th in the preseason at EvanMiya.com, making SLU the highest-ranked mid-major.
Avila checks in as the 28th highest-rated player in the nation.
A word on three point shooting regression:
Last year there were 164 players who returned to CBB who shot at least 40% from three the year prior (min 40 attempts). Only 13% of them shot above 40% again the next year, and just 7% matched or improved their percentage from prior.
Here are the top projected three-point shooters in college basketball this season at EvanMiya.com:
Kentucky's Milan Momcilovic has the highest predicted 3PT% in the nation.

These Player skill projections at EvanMiya.com take each player’s game-by-game history and quantify their skill level in three-point shooting by predicting how well they will perform in that area moving forward.
These projections adjust for important contextual variables across their career, including opponent strength, offensive usage, expected year-by-year improvement, and recent form.
Here's Momcilovic's 3PT profile:

Mizzou fans:
I would be THRILLED for the model to be way wrong on Jason Crowe. It would be better for college basketball if he was an all-SEC level player like Darius Acuff was last year.
Like Acuff, his defense is what really holds him back here. Hope he proves me wrong.
