Jon Rothstein calls Koby Brea the best shooter in the country: He's not wrong

Koby Brea is on fire to start the season with lights-out numbers from both the field and behind the three-point line. After Brea went a perfect 3 for 3 in the win over Lipscomb, CBS college basketball Jon Rothstein took to X to don Brea as the best shooter in the country.

As Rothstein's tweet shows, Brea has attempted 19 three-point shots and only missed four of them, giving him an outstanding 78.9% from behind the arch. That's incredible, even if it's only four games into the season.

He went into the game leading the nation with a three-point percentage of 75%, with the next closest player being Horace Simmons of Drexel. Simmons has only attempted 11 and made 8. All eight came in one game when he went 8-9 from three in an impressive display of "keep shooting if you're hot." Brea only increased his lead after the Lipscomb game, going 3-3.

He also went into the game at 70% from the field. He has a better percentage from behind the arch than in front of it because that's how good he is from three. Yet, it's not just his three-point shot that makes him such an elite basketball player. He also leads all of basketball in one of the deeper analytics categories: "Individual Offensive Rating."

He may be red hot to start this year, but he's statistically a really good three-point shooter. He finished last year (at Dayton) going 100-201 from three, which is slightly less than 50%, which made him the top three-point shooter in all of college basketball last season.

The year before, he was close to 40%, and in his sophomore year, he shot 42.3%. He is really good, and he's only getting better. He went from being the best in all of college basketball at 50% to the current best through two weeks at almost 79%. Rothstein is right; these are video game numbers, and you love to see it.
