Meet Chase Johnston, the High Point shooter who's not made a 2-pointer

The High Point Panthers have one of the most unique players in college basketball on its roster: Chase Johnston, a 6-foot-3 senior with a speciality. Johnston, a 22-year-old who previously played at Stetson and Florida Gulf Coast, is a player who knows his role. He only shoots 3-pointers when he is on the court.

Johnston, who was in the starting lineup for the first 11 games of the season and has since come off the bench, is the definition of a shooter's shooter. He is averaging 13. 0 attempts from beyond the arc per 40 minutes, shooting 48.

5 percent on 3-pointers. But he has not yet made a single 2-pointer in any game this season. In fact, he has only attempted four 2-pointers and four free throws during this campaign.

The guard last made a 2-pointer in a college basketball game on February 5, 2025 and last made a free throw on February 19, 2025. That is over 13 months without making a shot inside the arc or at the charity stripe. During his collegiate career, Johnston has attempted as many as 17 shots from beyond the arc during a game.
