Let's just look at Gibbs-Lawhorn's ****2025-26 shooting** splits:  
  
****57.1 2P% (156/273)** and ****41.4 3P% (101/244)**  
  
Since ****1980-81** (when 3-pointers were introduced), ****no** men's player has shot at least ****57%** from ****2** on ****270+** 2PA and ****41%** from ****3** on ****240+** 3PA in a ****single** season ****except** Gibbs-Lawhorn.  
  
If we filter down to ****56.5 2P%**, however, we find:   
  
****Justin Wright-Foreman** (2018-19) - 56.8 2P% (220/387), 42.5 3P% (110/259)  
  
Wright-Foreman, notably, attempted ****114** more ****2s** than Gibbs-Lawhorn, and ****15** more ****3s**.  
  
We keep whittling down to ****55.0 2P%** to uncover our next player:  
  
****Buddy Hield** (2015-16) - 55.2 2P% (154/279), ****45.7 3P% (147/322)**  
  
Lower the ****2P%** a little more to ****54.0** and we get:  
  
****Stephen Curry** (2007-08) - 54.0 2P% (155/287), ****43.9 3P% (162/369)**  
  
***Hield** *was just mentioned in* [**Note #028*](https://www.lemmonlabs.io/note-028-christian-anderson-sophomore-stock-riser/) *on 2026 NBA Draft entrant Christian Anderson.*  
  
***Curry** *is seen in* [**Note #006*](https://www.lemmonlabs.io/note-006-jake-hall-freshman-season-analysis/) *on Jake Hall's freshman shooting barrage.*
