I'm not sure his scoring would have been significantly higher, but I'm not sure how deep his jump shots came from. There just wasn't any incentive in those days to shoot any deeper than 18-19 feet. I played with a couple great shooters in high school in the early 80's, and they both killed it from jump shots around the 18 feet mark.
But Smitty would have been a great 3 point shooter if there was incentive to shoot from that distance.
