:facepalm damn. Good call, that was dumb as f*ck, no idea how I forgot Dirk.


Dirk #1 easily

Then Anderson/Bosh/Love/Bron

Mirotic might leap into this group too. He was dropping pullup 3s in that one preseason game

LaMarcus Aldridge
Blake Griffin
Dirk Nowitzki
Kevin Love
Chris Bosh

How? His mid-range jumper has improved so much. Name your top 5

Much improved doesnt make him best in the league. :oldlol:

Assuming "small forwards" are a no go. (Durant, Lebron, Melo)

Dirk
Love
Bosh
LMA
Gasols
West

I could go obscure and name better shooters as well, but those are the big names i can think of.

Where is Ryan Anderson? He is after Love and Dirk, tied with Bosh at worst.

Oh yeah, and let's not forget that Kevin Durant is nearly 7' tall.


Here's a cool chart, where you want to be on the right side, or on the bottom half

I agree with that list! Anytime I see a list that say STRICTLY top shooters, I immediately start with guys who are great three ball and midrange shooters in one. And are also very good to great scorers. Dirk to this day is STILL the ultimate stretch PF. Because like McAdoo before him, their scoring skillset is actually more of an elite SF or swingman skillset in a big man's body. Both played a lot of SF actually early in their careers in order to create offensive matchups at times. But in the end, they were better off at PF. Or in McAdoo's case playing a ton of center. And they were also among the the top scorers in the league period in their peak years.

I'm just going to throw Ilyasova out there since no one has brought him up. Injury riddled season last year but the two previous years his PER was 20.5 and 18.3. And he is a real stretch 4. Bruising rebounder with a sweet stroke.
