Sun Tzu Posted November 3, 2010 Report Share Posted November 3, 2010 Ray Allen comes to mind first. Then Anthony Morrow, Peja Stojakovic, Danillo Gallinari and Jason Kapono. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oliver P Posted November 3, 2010 Report Share Posted November 3, 2010 Well I guess that everyone's already mentioned 'em all so I got nothing to add... But if I had to pick only one player, I would definitely pick Dirk Nowitzki. For me he's the purest shooter in the league today, he just has the perfect jump shoot. One of the very best jump shot ever IMO, with Glen Rice's and Larry Bird's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jazzfan Posted November 3, 2010 Report Share Posted November 3, 2010 Aaron Brooks, Ray Allen, Dirk Nowitzki, Kyle Korver, Stephen Curry..I agree with all except I'm not sure about Aaron Brooks. Expound?I think Ray is the most pure shooter in the game. You still got Peja, Nash and I'd like to believe that Memo wins out of the centers.

AA25 Mamba Posted November 6, 2010 Report Share Posted November 6, 2010 (edited) Obviously Ray Allen, who will finish the year with the most 3's made in NBA history. But other than that, I consider Korver, Brooks and Anthony Morrow to be great shooters. And if you base this solely on numbers, you could even mention Paul Pierce in this discussion.

JYD Posted November 6, 2010 Report Share Posted November 6, 2010 Kyle Korver, James Jones, Peja Stojakovic, Carlos Delfino, Danilo Gallinari,Ray Allen,Jason Kapono,Stephen CurryThis. Also JJ Redick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Owner Real Deal Posted November 7, 2010 Owner Report Share Posted November 7, 2010 Didn't take long to mention them, so I'll mention two... Ray Allen has the best stroke on his jumper. Kyle Korver was the best shooter in the league last season. If you're looking for two, you take those. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newman Posted November 7, 2010 Report Share Posted November 7, 2010 (edited) To be really strict on the definition of "Pure Shooters", only two come to mind. Kyle Korver and Jason Kapono. I don't count Ray-Ray since he has the ability to drive to the lane. EDIT: Peja is another. Edited November 7, 2010 by Newman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It doesn't necessarily mean he can't do other things on the court. That would be called "strict shooter" (which is an old way of considering someone a one-dimensional offensive player).

Newman Posted November 7, 2010 Report Share Posted November 7, 2010 Really? I must have got the two mixed up then. When I read about articles they refer to those "Strict Shooters" as "Pure Shooters" so I guess the phrase's definition varies between people.

Otherwise, they would never make it in the league. If Kapono couldn't shoot, he would've never been signed to any NBA team. He's both. But someone like Ray Allen, he's a pure shooter...but not strictly a jumpshooter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Multi-Billionaire Posted November 7, 2010 Report Share Posted November 7, 2010 Ray Allen, if you can shoot like that, you can play into your 40s. The second purest shooting is owned by Steph Curry imo These guys also deserve mention:- Mike Miller- Kyle Korver- Anthony Morrow- Arron Afflalo - Danilo Gallinari- Steve Nash Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oliver P Posted November 7, 2010 Report Share Posted November 7, 2010 Well for me a pure shooter is someone who has a perfect stroke and at a same time relies a lot to his jump shot obviously. But he doesn't necessarily spend his time behind the 3pts line... I think that people are too obsessed with 3 pointers when they think of jump shot and forget too often about the mid range jump shot which is even more important than the 3 pointer in basketball IMO. Well anyhow that's why I mentioned Dirk. I should have mentioned Ray as well though... It's a tie between Dirk and Ray for the purest shooter. No one has a better stroke than them in the league right now IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Finch23 Posted November 10, 2010 Report Share Posted November 10, 2010 My top choices have already been stated above. Allen, Dirk, JJ, Nash Etc Obviously since I watch all of the Spurs games I get a much better feel for my own team. 6 games into the season I would say that the Spurs best PURE shooters are Gary Neal ( his stroke is beautiful and he has a very quick release) and James Anderson. The guy can shoot from anywhere on the court and has a nice J. These two guys are giving the Spurs what Keith Bogans and Roger mason Jr couldnot last year. Energy, hustle, and good shooting. With the focus on Manu, Duncan, Parker, and RJ these guys are going to get open looks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
