By my calculations, Bonnie is currently at 185 three point baskets made over her career--amazing considering how few games she has started and the limited time she has played. Here is the all-time chart as things stood at the beginning of the season with Bonnie's current spot inserted:
1. 295 Candice Wiggins 2004-08
2. 268 Jeanette Pohlen 2007-11
3. 210 Vanessa Nygaard 1993-98
4. 208 Kelley Suminski 2001-05
5. 205 Sebnem Kimyacioglu 2001-05
6. 201 Nicole Powell 2000-04
7. 192 Lindsey Yamasaki 1998-2002
8. 191 Jennifer Azzi 1986-90
BONNIE SAMUELSON 185
9. 179 Kate Starbird 1993-97
10. 178 Molly Goodenbour 1989-93
She just moved past Starbird and Goodenbour. Barring injury, it looks very likely that she will move past Azzi, Yamasaki, Kimyacioglu, Suminski, and Nygaard. I think it unlikely that she could catch Pohlen or Wiggins--two players who started and played a lot more minutes.
If there were statistics on treys per minute played, I imagine Bonnie would lead the three point list already.
There were no three pointers in women's basketball in Jennifer Azzi's freshman year, though, so there should be an asterisk next to her name--she probably would have made a lot more.
