I would tend to agree with Walton.
Overall, although there was no official 3-point stat for most of his career ( the 3 point shot became rule near the end of his career), Pete Maravich’s reputation and playing style strongly suggest he would have been a phenomenal outside shooter in today’s game.
Many players today though have duplicated his legendary ball handling skills ( Kyrie Irving, Stephen Curry, just to name two ).
Well, if you are comparing him to those two, I think that speaks highly of him.
