Joe Shipp Vs Josh Shipp Vs Jerren Shipp

There was an interesting question brought forth tonight in regards to who was the better player Joe Shipp or Josh Shipp. I guess to be nice I decided to add one more Shipp to the table so to speak in Jerren.

Jerren unfortunately didn't find a role at Arizona State and therefore his numbers were less than stellar as a Sun Devil. The only notable year for Jerren was his freshman year when he averaged 7.6 points per game, 3.3 rebounds, 1.5 assists per game, on just 39.4 percent shooting, 33.6 percent from three, and 61.7 percent from the free throw line. During the year he averaged 30 minutes per game. 

His sophomore campaign was the second best season for him when he average 5.9 points per game, 3.3 rebounds per game, .9 assists per game, on 43.4 percent shooting, 35.2 percent from three, and 81.7 percent from the free throw line. During his sophomore campaign he averaged 26.3 minutes per contest.

For Jerren though he became a bench player in his junior and now his senior season so far. He's only averaging about 13 minutes per game over the past one plus seasons. Therefore his numbers have significantly declined, although it's hard to say they declined drastically when in his sophomore year he averaged only six points per game.

Now it's onto Josh Shipp and what he did in his four year career at UCLA. In his freshman year he averaged 9.3 points per game, 5.2 rebounds, 1.8 assists, on 46.1 percent shooting, 28.1 percent from beyond the arc, and 61.4 percent from the free throw line.

Sophomore year Josh's scoring improved while other numbers declined so he went to 11.3 points per game, 4.8 rebounds per game, 1 assist, on 41 percent shooting, 46.2 percent from the three, and 87.5 percent from the free throw line, but he only played in four games due to an injury he suffered. 

Junior year much like his sophomore year some numbers went up where other numbers declined. Josh went to 13.3 points per game, 3.9 rebounds per game, 2.6 assists per game, on 46.9 percent shooting, 31.6 percent from three, and 78.2 percent from the free throw line.

Senior season again you will find some numbers went up and others went down. Josh averaged 12.2 points per game, 3.2 rebounds per game, 2.1 assists per game, on 43.4 percent shooting, 32.4 percent from three, and 77 percent from the free throw line.

Shipp played in parts of five seasons for UCLA thanks to a medical redshirt so he compiled stats in all five years he played at UCLA. His final season was much of the same as the rest. Numbers that went up and numbers that went down.

For his final year at UCLA he averaged 14.5 points per game, 3.1 rebounds per game, 1.5 assists per game, on 50.4 percent shooting, 43.3 percent from three, and 80.2 percent from the free throw line.

As for Joe his freshman year he averaged 9.1 points per game, 2.9 rebounds, .9 assists per game, on 46.4 percent shooting, 33.1 percent from three, and 76.8 percent from the free throw line.

Sophomore year actuality was too spectacular for him he averaged only 8.4 points per game, 2.8 rebounds per game, 1.2 assists per game, on 44 percent shooting, 31.5 percent from three, and 70 percent from the free throw line.

Junior year though Shipp began to take off as an effective scorer he averaged 14.8 points per game, 4.7 rebounds per game, 1.7 assists per game, on 48.6 percent shooting, 35.2 percent from beyond the arc, and 78.1 percent from the free throw line.

Senior season is where it all came together for Joe he averaged 20.2 points per game, 6.1 rebounds per game, 2.3 assists per game, on 50.2 percent shooting, 35.4 percent from three, and 75.9 percent from the free throw line.

It's not really hard to compare who was the better player from the Shipp family. Specifically after the junior and senior seasons by Joe. Josh had some decent numbers, but none were as impressive as the senior season of Joe.

Also, Joe was better known as a scorer because he could do so in a variety of ways. He could drive to the hoop, he could shoot threes, and he could post up. Josh was only really known for his ability to shoot and it shows why he never became as good of a scorer as Joe.

Winner overall: Joe
