Some interesting tidbits:

	-- The lowest percentage Mark Price ever shot, was the year the
	   ACC 3-pt line was in effect, and the year he led the ACC in
	   scoring as a freshman.

	-- In 3 years, Hurley has played more games than Stockton played
	   his entire college career.

Ranking all these players w/ key stats:
(Sorry, I was not able to get assists, but U can bet Hurley's probably
 at the top of the list)

FG% 					FT% 
---  					--- 
1.  John Stockton	.559		1.  Mike Iuzzolino	.878
2.  Mike Iuzzolino	.878		2.  Mark Price		.850
3.  Scott Skiles	.850		    Scott Skiles 	.850
4.  Mark Price		.487		4.  Chris Corchiani     .822
5.  Chris Corchiani     .463		5.  BOBBY HURLEY	.764
6.  John Crotty		.415		6.  John Stockton	.719
7.  BOBBY HURLEY	.405		7.  John Crotty		.694

REBS/G					PTS/G
------					-----
1.  Scott Skiles	2.99		1.  Scott Skiles	18.2
2.  Mark Price		2.63		2.  Mark Price		17.4
3.  John Crotty		2.53		3.  Mike Iuzzolino	13.3
4.  John Stockton	2.16		4.  John Crotty		12.8
5.  Chris Corchiani	2.12		5.  John Stockton	12.5
6.  BOBBY HURLEY        2.06		6.  Chris Corchiani     11.5
7.  Mike Iuzzolino      1.88		7.  BOBBY HURLEY        11.0

	Make your own judgements.

	Anyways, I probably should have thrown in their pro stats as well --
	that might give us an indication how they adjusted to the pros
	(I can tell U right away, none of the above made an additional
	impact -- even Stockton sat for about 3 years until then-coach
	Frank Layden dumped former all-star Rickey Green).

	If there are any other players U would like to include in this
	comparison, let me know.
