Guys who won't be affected by new 3-point line

1. Stephen Curry, Davidson -- Arguably the top perimeter shooter in the entire country. The 6-foot-3 senior made 162 trifectas last season, which broke the NCAA single-season mark, and made 44 percent of his attempts. He canned nine against Appalachian State and knocked down five or more 3-pointers 19 times.

12. Mike Rosario, Rutgers -- The 6-foot-3 freshman is a McDonald's All-American who can really light it up from the perimeter. Played for legendary Bob Hurley at St. Anthony's and instantly becomes one of the Big East's top long-range shooters.
