40% from the college 3 point line doesn't sound all that impressive to me, but I could be wrong.
What have other good SGs done?
Jimmer's shooting 41.1% compared to Hamilton's 40.7%. Not a big difference there, but 40% is respectable for a first option in the offense.

Ray Allen, Korver and Kapono are the only ones of consequence. I'm still not on the Hamilton bandwagon, though. I still say you're better off with a guy who has the physical tools to defend and improve offensively than some one-dimensional shooter/scorer (which is what the Jazz like to draft).
