Former Arizona Wildcat **Dwayne Aristode** entered the transfer portal following his 2025-26 **freshman** season in Tucson, committing to **Oregon** for 2026-27\. 

In 2025-26, Aristode registered **11.5 PTS/40 MP** (in 13.3 MP/G, 35 GP). He did not have incredible volume (2.7 FGA/G), but shot an efficient **46.2%** from **3 (30/65)** and **54.8%** from **2 (17/31)**. 

**Since 1980-81**, the other **five** NCAA Division I men's players to notch 11.5+ PTS/40 MP while shooting at least **46%** from **3** (min. 65 3PA) and **54%** from **2** (min. 30 2PA) as a **freshman** (min. 30 GP) are:

**100-150 FGA**  
1\. John Leahy (1991-92) - 13.6 PTS/40 MP (20.7 MP/G), **56.1 3P%** (46/82) and 55.3 2P% (21/38) on 120 FGA  
2\. Phil Booth (2014-15) - 16.1 PTS/40 MP (14.5 MP/G), 48.5 3P% (32/66) and   
**64.5 2P% (40/62)** on 128 FGA  
3\. Darin Smith Jr. (2024-25) - 15.1 PTS/40 MP (18.1 MP/G), 46.3 3P% (37/80) and **58.0 2P%** (40/69) on 149 FGA

**150-330 FGA**  
4\. Reed Sheppard (2023-24) - 17.2 PTS/40 MP (28.9 MP/G), **52.1 3P% (75/144)** and 55.5 2P% (66/119) on **263 FGA** 
  
**330+ FGA**  
5\. Jaycee Carroll (2004-05) - **19.3 PTS/40 MP** (30.4 MP/G), **47.6 3P% (79/166)** and **57.0 2P% (94/165)** on **331 FGA**

Aristode **(6' 8"),** and listed at **guard** (per Sports Reference, forward elsewhere)**,** is the **tallest** of those above. The others:  
  
Smith Jr. - 6' 7" forward  
Leahy - 6' 7" forward  
Sheppard - 6' 3" guard  
Booth - 6' 3" guard  
Carroll - 6' 2" guard

Let's just look at the ****2025-26** season, and deeper into Aristode's **3-point** shooting (****46.2%**, 30/65).  
  
Only ****two** other NCAA Division I ****freshmen** in 2025-26 shot at least ****45%** from ****3** on ****65+** 3PA:  
  
1\. Andrej Shoshkikj - 45.1 3P% (46/102)  
2\. Lilian Marville - ****52.2 3P%** (48/92)  
  
****Shoshkikj** is a ****6' 2"** guard, ****Marville** a ****6'1"** guard.  
  
FWIW, all ****three** have ****international** roots: Aristode (Netherlands), Shoshkikj (North Macedonia), Marville (France)  
  
For fun, if we drop the ****3P%** threshold down to ****43.8**, our friends ****Darius** ****Acuff Jr.** (referenced in [Note #003](https://www.lemmonlabs.io/note-003-keaton-wagler-freshman-guard-statistics/) on Keaton Wagler/ [Note #010](https://www.lemmonlabs.io/note-010-alex-wilkins-freshman-lead-guard/) on Alex Wilkins) and [Note #006](https://www.lemmonlabs.io/note-006-jake-hall-freshman-season-analysis/) feature ****Jake Hall** would be the others to make the list:  
  
1\. Jake Hall - 43.8 3P% ****(117/267)**  
2\. Darius Acuff, Jr. - 44.0 3P% ****(91/207)**
