He was an extremely efficient and reliable scorer, especially from beyond the arc. During the 2015-16 season, Forbes led the Big Ten conference in three-point field goal percentage, shooting 48% from outside.
In his two seasons as a Spartan, he shot 45.8% from deep and 46.7% from the field (48.4% 2P).
The only other Big Ten product in his top-10 was former Wolverine Duncan Robinson at No. 3.

Forbes went undrafted in the 2016 NBA draft; however, he was later signed by the San Antonio Spurs, where he became one of three players in Spurs history to make 250 three-pointers in their first three seasons.
In four seasons, he has climbed to No. 11 in the Spurs all-time three-pointers made history list with 430 (261 games, 1,075 attempts). He needs 28 more shots to go in from downtown to crack the top-10 and pass Chuck Person, a 14-year veteran in the league and 1987 NBA Rookie of the Year.
