Must be true, if it's a rumor you read on Hoopshype.

Ray Allen = Best shooter in the league.
Jason Kapono also very, very, very good shooter.

Sleeper=Matt Bonner (when he was with Toronto any spot up shot was money in the bank)

James Jones is asked by the blazers to pretty much camp the 3 point line and shoot the open ones. So far hes having a career year doing that and leading the NBA in 3point %.

Ray Allen's jumper may look nice and smooth, but it sure as hell doesn't fall down as often as other guys.

I'll give him some love. He's what? 50% from the field as a PG running around like a chicken with his head cut off most of the time? There once was a day when you could leave him open from the outside, but you sure can't anymore.

Still, Jones is my choice, but Nash is certainly top 10 if not 5.

1. Ray Allen
2. Michael Redd
3. Peja Stojakovic
4. Mike Miller

These are the only guys that should be mentioned in that order. Only because the can hit the three or hit a mid range jumper(the lost art) consistantly. Most shooters in the NBA can't do both. And most don't know what a mid range game is. In the distant is Mike Bibby at 5th, and possibly Kevin martin in a couple years. Chauncey Billups is also pretty good at both.

Jason Richardson is shooting the lights out over this past month or so and Matt Carroll is no slouch either.
