Regardless how the game turns out Monday.......

Never did I see Ellington miss. At least that's what it seemed. So, I would say Wayne was a better shooter but JJ has a great deal more to add to the offense. But you asked shooter and hands down for me that was Wayne. It would be interesting to see the 3 point statistics between these two. Maybe someone has it.
Ellington. No question about it. His last year he was absolutely the most dangerous man an opponent faced and NO ONE wanted him to get the ball with the game on the line. Fearless and stepped it up when the team needed him to.
I love me some JJ, but kid doesn't have that ice cold, killer instinct that Wayne did. Wayne thrived on stabbing opponents in the heart just when they thought they had a chance.

That's 3pt made, so doesn't take into account percentage made.

...and I know this is a little tangental to the OP question but it seems like JJ has better NBA potential with his ability to shoot those floaters with either hand, quick release, and size and quickness, length, stamina to guard NBA wings (2s, 3s, small 4s).
Wayne is the better shooter. He came in a natural. Justin has worked hard to get where he is. Won't be popular here but McCants was better than either.
Also, when JB has his legs he's a better 3-pt shooter than Justin.
They both shoot 38%. But I bet there are approximately 25 teams who would disagree with your statement ... and their defensive schemes throughout the year have proved it.
Statistically that can't be argued (41% career). Although McCants never took more than 191 three's in any of his three season at UNC. JJ has taken 275 this year ... Berry 217.
Not true. They've shaded JB more, and he was well over 40% until the injuries.
Yeah, Roy has become more accepting of the 3-ball over the past decade. McCants had almost unlimited range and when he heat-checked it was scary
All pro talent, but unfortunately he had other issues.
Jackson this year. Marcus his soph year. Take both of those yearly versions of Ellington. Always felt he played way too passive besides... the game... you know which.
Imagine Ellington was the best for his whole carer but I'm THRILLED we have JB & JJ shooting 3's along with Luke that's a deadly bunch. And Nate has his moments when his shot is just beautiful. BLESSED we are. GO HEELS!
Well there is no way for either of us to quantify what opposing defenses have and have not done --- it's based on appearances and listening to what opposing coaches have said ...and it's my opinion that Justin has presented the bigger outside shooting threat to opposing teams than Berry.
It has appeared to me that defenses have been more concerned with Berry's DRIVING ability than any spot up shooting. But again, we're both simply sharing our opinions. No sense in arguing I suppose.
Ellington. Not close when only looking at 3-pt shooting. Much closer if you look at total game.

In JJ's first 2 seasons he finished strong down the stretch - hitting 45% as a frosh and 37% as a soph. This year there isn't much difference in percentage down the stretch, but he is shooting much more.
haha ... I wont argue (very often) .. it's a message board with a bunch of weirdos (myself included) from all different walks of life, toting around our own life-shaped opinions. I know Gary's schtick well, I have no problem with him.Bleeduncblue...... so you're new around these parts, huh?!
Very good responses to the question guys,yeah,I know we've had other good shooters but just wanted to know who you guys thought was better of the two mentioned.Something to pass the time away before tip off tonight.....Go Heels!!!! Bring that natty back to the hill.
