What is it based on for you? Would it be volume or efficiency?
It’s easy to tell the specialists like Korver or Peja but I’m curious when Dame for example became a dangerous shooter as opposed to something else. KD has a great percentage at all spots but he’s not considered a “shooter” in my opinion.
My question came from watching Tyrese Maxey who has a similar 3 point% to Dame but they’re aren’t categorized the same.
For example:
Shooters- Steph, Dame, Hield
Can shoot- D Mitchell, Kyrie, Tatum
I would say players that are less likely to generate offense through other means.
Curry and Lillard IMO are not shooters because they run the offense.
Hield or Korver or Reddick were/are shooters because they rarely do more than stand in a corner and shoot.
That’s pretty disrespectful to those 3. They’re all fantastic movement shooters, especially JJ.
Heild does a lot more than sit in the corner
“Korver or Reddick were/are shooters because they rarely do more than stand in a corner and shoot.”
2 of the best movement shooters ever being described as standing in the corner is wild.
