best midrange shooter? 

Post#1 » by Lost Angel » Fri Mar 28, 2008 3:09 pm

who do you think is just nasty shooting the midrange jumper?


some players you might consider:

Hamilton, Kobe, D. West, and so on



name as many players as you want. after we get enough names i'll make a big list and then we can choose who is the best one.

Dirk scores the most points from there.
Nash is the most accurate.
KG, CP3, Rip, and TMac are also names to consider.

His whole game is mid range shooting.

No disrespect to the above mentioned guys but Sam Cassell is still King of the mid-range. Many may never watch him play but a little daylight and pull up jumper is usually money. Still too dangerous in old age.
