Joe McCray was a record-setting Nebraska freshman scorer with serious long-range juice
Joe McCray made his mark at Nebraska as a fearless shot-maker, setting the school and Big 12 freshman record with 80 threes in the 2004-05 season and averaging 15.5 points, 5.0 rebounds, and 1.25 steals per game as a freshman. He followed that with 9.8 points per game in the 2005-06 season before his Nebraska career ended early. Why care? He was the kind of guard who can bend a defense with spacing, heat up quickly, and carry a scoring load—though his efficiency was streaky, and his college path included a permanent dismissal in 2006, which is a major character and availability flag.
