Because you are failing to
Because you are failing to
Because you are failing to follow the basic rules of sports commentary:
1. Make as many premature evaluations as you can. The smaller the sample size, the better.
2. If a narrative is compelling, use it. Obvious lack of empirical support should be ignored.
3. Hyperbole must always trump objectivity, even if you represent a major sports network.
4. If a mediocre white college player displays good effort, he shall be compared to a professional white athlete with similar size but far superior skill and athleticism.
5. Being loud and obnoxious is good. Being loud and obnoxious while talking about Tim Tebow is better.

This is definitely a premature question, but it'll be difficult to ever make a one-to-one comparison of their three-point shooting ability because the NCAA three-point line was at 19 feet, 9 inches when Rice played, and it's now at 20 feet, 9 inches.

The other thing is that the
The other thing is that the 3-point shot was only added to the NCAA in Rice's sophomore season, so he didn't grow up shooting 3's like players now do. In fact, he even played inside frequently when he was an underclassman (and was one of the league's best rebounders one year). He made a remarkable transition to becoming a primarily perimeter player by the time he was a senior.
It's going to be apples and oranges. If Stauskas can come even close to matching Rice's production he'll have one heck of a career.

Yes—it's highly unlikely Rice took as many outside shots growing up as Stauskas claims he did:
“Shooting is what I do,” Stauskas said. “I’m comfortable with it. I’ve probably taken a million shots in my life. That’s pretty much all I did when I was a kid, just go outside and shoot.”

Steve fisher's thought on Glen Rice
Steve fisher's thought on Glen Rice
Fisher was asked after the tournament run if Glen Rice was the greatest shooter he'd ever seen. Fisher said, Rice wasn't even the best shooter on the team. The reporters all laughed, but fisher told them it was Rob Pelinka. Most of you won't even remember Pelinka, but as a shooter he was unbelievable. In pre game warm ups he would warmup up until he made 100 shots. The one night I counter he was 100/120 from all over the gym including 30 footers. That's the difference between a great basketball player and just a great shooter.
Desmond Howard's Heisman and the Fab Five - Great time to be a Michigan Student. Wrote Punt-CounterPunt in 1993 Season.
It's way too early to make a statement like that. Rice shot over 50% from 3 for an entire season and is still the all-time leading scorer in the NCAA Tournament.
