Yep.

7 players who averaged 7+ MPG under Bill Self have a career 3 point percentage between 0.01 and 21% ( i.e. players who made at least one three in their careers ).

Can you name 3 of them?

Clemence - Just cause
Tyler Self - He probably made one or two but missed a lot in the mop up minutes
Jueneman - Another walk on who probably made one but missed a lot.

Oops. Edited question.

8 players who averaged over 7 MPG for their career under Bill Self have a career 3 point percentage between 0.01 and 21% ( i.e. players who made at least one three in their careers ).

Can you name 3 of them?

11 players, regardless of MPG, for their career under Bill Self have a career 3 point percentage between 0.01 and 21% ( i.e. players who made at least one three in their careers ).

Can you name 3 of them?

Tyler Self is one of them ( Newton is correct )
Juenemann and Clemence are not.
( Juenemann actually has one of the highest career 3 point % under Bill Self - he's 7th best all time )

Ding ding.
He's on both lists ( 7 MPG, any MPG ).

Grant-Foster shot a miserable 10% ( 2 for 20 ) which is the worst 3P% for a player under Bill Self who made at least one 3 in their career.

An old favorite:

This Jayhawk won a high school state basketball championship playing alongside a future 3x MLB All-Star (a year after a future top-5 NBA draft pick graduated from the same school/team, clearing the Jayhawk's spot).

Nope. But you have the position right (well, broadly right, depending on the year/roster I guess).

MJ Rice makes 3.

Players 7 MPG+ who made more than one three who shot 20% or less for their career:

Kevin Young 20%, Joel Embiid 20%, David McCormack 20%, MJ Rice 20%
Julian Wright 18.8%
Bryant Nash 17%
Darrell Arthur 11.8%
Tyon Grant-Foster 10%

Any player you add in Royce Wooldrige 20%, Tyler Self 20%, Stephen Vinson 17%.

Not Kansas (or Missouri). This is probably a hint in and of itself, but if I named the state the list would get really short.

Chalmers won a state title in Alaska but he didn't play Ellis's position.

Neither Alaska nor Arizona. Although the state in question shares a lot, culturally, with those states.

I know one for sure. Big Cam Martin.
I could only guess at the other 3 (besides Withey).
