I think Dale charted his shots and said it would have been about 55 points per game.



Dale's data was completely wrong and assumed almost all of his shots were 3 pointers and that he never made any foul shots.

Its been a long time but I did a deep dive into his math once and there was no chance that Pete took as many shots that would have been three pointers as dale claimed.

Dale claims a 55 point average with a 3 point line, which would be 11 more points than he averaged. that means he would have to make 11 3 pointers per game. Antoine Davis has the most career ncaa 3 pointers made and he only averaged 4 per game. not one player in the top 10 in totals 3s averaged over 4 per game except him. 0% chance pete would have averaged 11 per game.

Pete was so driven to score he would try and get fouled on layups so he could get a three point play. He’d slow down on breakaways in hopes of drawing a foul.

There’s no doubt in my mind that he would have taken the challenge and shot threes a lot more than what watching replays of his old games showed.
