Hedo is most certainly not our best shooter, not even in the top 5. The guy is a career 38.5% from 3 and he has only hit 40%+ two times in his 10 year career. He's also played with some dominant players so he's gotten much better looks than the average player.
I would go with something like this:
Overall Shooting: Calderon
Midrange: Calderon
Corners: Jack
Range: Bargnani
Consistent(very few cold streaks): Bosh
Catch and Shoots coming off of picks: Bargnani
outrageous shots: Belinelli, does this guy ever make normal spot up shots?
Who is our best shooter?

Maybe you have a point but im talking about shooting touch and that "pure shooter" quality that not many possess. He does have it, he just takes much harder shots than most people.
Anyhow, i would say Bosh is our best midrange shooter.

Re: Who is our best shooter?
how the hell is it jose...he's gotta be the most overated shooter on the raptors. he has a really nice midrange game, but his 3 point shot is practically nonexistent. don't give me that BS about his 40% shooting from beyond the arc, anyone who only shoots uncontested threes should make a decent amount of them. if he was really that good of a shooter, he would actually hit contested 3s at a good percentage. he rarely even hits open 3s nowadays. a good shooter takes into account the efficiency of the shots and the quantity of the shots. jose doesn't even hit more than 1 three a game, hardly what i would call a great shooter who plays nearly 30 minutes a game. let jose be what jose is, a very good midrange shooting pg who is very average when it comes to the outside shot.

What the **** are you talking about? Jose is still shooting above 40% from 3-PT this season. And why does it matter if it's uncontested or contested? Our offense produces open looks for our players and if they're able to play within that offense, I don't see the point to complain. Also, Jose isn't only attempting 1 3-PT attempt a game. He's averaging near 3 3-PT attempts per game.

Re: Who is our best shooter?
honestly, although he doesn't get many shots, every time DD shoots i feel so confident it's going in
i would say our best all-around shooters are either jose or bargs
