Notables (don't take as many midrange shots but show high accuracy):

Steve Nash (52.1%), Mo Williams (50.8%), Sam Cassell (47.2%), Jason Terry (47.1%), Amare Stoudemire (46.3%), Deron Williams (45.6%), Carlos Boozer (44.9%)

Nash is the most accurate.
KG, CP3, Rip, and TMac are also names to consider.

I tip my hat to you. There's someone who knows what he's talking about.

Thank you, 82games.com for the following rankings:

1. Dirk Nowitzki (10.5 ppg/48.5%)
2. Kevin Garnett (9.7 ppg/47.5%)
3. Tracy McGrady (9.5 ppg/44.1%)
4. Chris Paul (9.3 ppg/48.9%)
5. Rip Hamilton (9.3 ppg/47.3%)
6. Kobe Bryant (9.0 ppg/42.1%)
7. David West (8.6 ppg/41.4%)
8. Allen Iverson (8.3 ppg/42.3%)
9. LaMarcus Aldridge (8.3 ppg/42.3%)
10. Josh Howard (8.2 ppg/42.0%)

KG should always be in the discussion, but gets overlooked on this board.

I'll go with Nash. One of the highest percentages, and prolific at almost 3 made shots a game. He also takes more difficult shots than players like Nowitzki and Garnett who benefit from many more assists. Runner-up goes to Chris Paul, who doesn't hit at quite the same clip, but takes a few more and also makes his own shots.

Calderon should be mentioned. He has a great pull up off the pick and roll. Doesn't score as much as Kobe, and them but his shooting from mid range is great.

Edit-Just checked the 82 games thing, and he's 3rd in the league shooting .514 fg% on 2 pt jumpshots.
