Yeah definitely Korverhe's a bull now so obviously he's the right choice!

[porebo]

Ray allen anyone??

[SinJackal]

Reggie was pretty great.

Peja used to be a good catch and shoot player too.

[AI3Anthony]

All time: Reggie Miller

Currently: Ray Allen

[evilmonkey]

All time? Reggie... not only that but he was also the greatest at creating catch n shoot plays for himself, which means working without the ball, abusing screens with very advanced trickery.... Ray Allen / Rip Hamilton did admit they "stole" all those tricks watching Reggie. :)

Was always hilarious to watch the likes of Jordan & Kobe exhaust themselves chasing and getting smashed around the screens trying to stop Reggie for a catch n shoot. For this exact reason Kobe said Reggie was the toughest player he had to defend.... and he did guard Jordan aswell, have that in mind.

[hoopaddict08]

All-time: Reggie Miller

Currently:
Behind the three-point line: Ray Allen
Mid-range game: Richard Hamilton

You didn't put Lebron? I'm surprised

:eek:

[catch24]

Glen Rice was pretty damn good.

All-time I'd say Reggie, though.

[evilmonkey]

:eek:

Damn, you are right... something is wrong with me... :banghead:

Ok then just for you D-Will, Lebron is the best catch n shoot player ever aswell!

[SinJackal]

Glen Rice was pretty damn good.

All-time I'd say Reggie, though.

Glen Rice, nice pick. He slipped my mind.

[catch24]

Glen Rice, nice pick. He slipped my mind.

Yeah, his stint with Miami and Allstar seasons in Charlotte, he was damn near automatic. Catch, shoot, splash...

[Big#50]

Why is Miller so overrated?

[BarberSchool]

Why is Miller so overrated?He isn't.
He;'s a great catch and shoot player, he's amongst the top 5 greatest catch and shoot players of all time. He just wasn't good AT ALL finishing in the paint, scoring on the break, or rebounding/D. Just a pure (yet also ugly) shooter.

[BFRESH44]

Props to catch24 for mentioning G-Money before me...Rice is consistently overlooked. :pimp:

[nbastatus]

Easily Ray Allen.

[Rose]

I had the most underrated comment in this thread.

[qrich]

He might not be the best player out of all the ones mentioned, but Eddie House is sick when it comes to catching and shooting. Quick release too

[chadcas]

Dale friggin Ellis watch some highlights on him he was sick!

[redhonda76]

Reggie.

Honorable mention: Jeff Hornacek

[Fallguy20]

Reggies my boy on this.

[pete's montreux]

Ray Allen and Rip Hamilton are tied for current.

[CryinInTheCar]

currently, anthony morrow.

[porebo]

righ now? maybe JJ Reddick, kyle korver.

[hateraid]

Reggie Miller
John Paxson
Andrew Toney

[inclinerator]

reggie miller>>>> ray allen

[sirkeelma]

Robert Horry. Tons of catch and shoot plays in a clutch situation.

[lurch67]

I'd go with Miller. I also liked Chuck Person.

[porebo]

reggie miller>>>> ray allen:facepalm :facepalm
:no: :no: :no: :no: :hammerhead: :hammerhead: :hammerhead:

[hoopaddict08]

I forgot J.R. Smith. He loves to catch and just shoot it.

[no pun intended]

[Solid Snake]

Dell Curry.

[hateraid]

Both JR and Chuck weren't catch and shoot. They were more stop and pop, especially JR.

[Younggrease]

not really JR has always been more catch and shoot. The more you get him to dribble the less accurate his shot is. Its all based off that hop step, the same hop he takes into his set shot. If you ask him to pull up off the dribble without a step back the percentages drop immensely.

With that being said, he shouldnt be in the conversation. There are a lot of shooters that are much better than him.

I say more off the dribble. Here's an example of one game. About half were off the dribble, which is certainly not the characteristics of a catch and shoot.

[Harison]

All-time probably Reggie, although I'm surprised nobody mentioned Bird, he made a living off it.

Currently: Jesus

[Ben Jordan]

ben jordan

[Nash-tastic]

My picks are the same as many people here but I gotta say Melo is pretty underrated in this department

[chris2010]

Reggie Miller

[CelticsDraftee]

And my vote for best "catch and get kicked in the face" player goes to Wally Szczerbiak.

[step_back]

Glen Rice was pretty damn good.

All-time I'd say Reggie, though.

Glen was my favourite player in the league behind Jordan back in the 90's. First NBA jersey I ever bought as well.

Hornets jerseys were lush back then.

Repped

[9512]

Old thread and all...But what the hey...

I am biased having watched the Bulls in 90s but Paxson, BJ, and later Steve Kerr were great at their craft.

I respect Peja's ability as well.

Reggie and Ray are obvious picks as their career 3s show but to me it's the above 4 I mentioned.

[Kyle_korver]

Me!!

[vert48]

Dale Ellis had the quickest release off a catch and shoot I have ever seen.

[skan72]

Right now it is Ray Allen.

[HB40TheNextStar]

Maybe not the best, but how does Hornacek not get a mention 4 pages in?

[Smoke117]

Right now it's easily Ray Allen, all time could be a long debate between many players.

[Timmy D for MVP]

Not the best but I just want to mention him:

Brent Barry had one of the shortest times between catching the ball and it being gone. He was accurate, could shoot with pressure, and had a stupid fast release. I guess he created more for himself when he was younger and spot shot when he was older but when they called for it it was cool to see.

[Richesly]

Kyle Korver when on Jazz.

[jlitt]

I was at a 76ers lakers game back in 2000 and during warmups i must have seen Glenn Rice shoot 40-50 times. He didnt miss once. it was unreal. He would barely look at his shot after his release and get ready to fire again. Seeing that was the 2nd most amazing thing i saw that day. Seeing how big shaq was in person was the most amazing thing i saw that day.

[rodman91]

Reggie Miller.

Besides all of the guys mentioned already, another honorable mention : Richard Hamilton.

Iverson deserves a nod as well when Larry Brown used him as SG.

Most pretty good shooters will do that in warm ups. The only problem is now the league is filled with dudes who can't shoot. I've played with guys who were nba bums in the late 80s an early 90s who had great careers overseas and they never miss in warm ups.
