    I can think of one that's playing in college this year: Stephen Curry, you know why? Because he doesn't need a screen to get his shot off and be effective.

    Also, Steve Kerr and Jason Kapono are two that come to mind instantly when I think of great shooters. Dirk Nowitzki is also a better shooter (you never specified college basketball). Ray Allen, Peja Stojakovic, Shane Battier, Reggie Miller, Dale Ellis, Brent Barry, and Mike Miller also come to mind. There are also a bunch of others that I can't think of right off the top of my head.

    JJ is a great shooter, but he's not even close to top 25 in the last 10 years even.

            I really really can't tell if you're serious anymore. You're getting to be on the level of Chris Crocker defending Britney now. You really think he's the best shooter of the last 50 years much less the last 5 years.

              I think he might have been serious at first, but to save face he's just making as many outrageous posts as possible so he can say "duh I was joking the whole time".

                As "moronic" as this may make me look, I'm being serious...I've seen few to no players that are as prolific at shooting than he is. I think he's being given a bad deal in Orlando and I think he deserves to play a significant amount of minutes and IMO has the chance to be something special if given the opportunity.

                And how was my last post outrageous?

                    Kevin Love is better than Jesus.

                    I've never seen Jesus hit a full court shot.

                      JJ Redick isn't even the best shooter with JJ in his name. There's this one guy that plays for the Hawks who's initials are JJ.. I hear he's pretty good.

                        wow...this is the most exposure JJ has gotten since he left Duke...

                        His agent must have started this thread...

                          Maybe so, but Jonathan Clay is the best shooter with the name Jonathan Clay Redick for sure. Jonathan Clay can divide by zero. Jonathan Clay is the most amazingest player I have seen in my lifetime.

                            I've made a shot from there before, and with pretty good form. I guess that makes me NBA-ready, but I hope I don't play for the Magic, they might hold back my Hall of Fame talent.

                                A few things:

                                1. His free throw percentage wasn't 98%. It was very good at 93.8% his first 3 years, but dipped to a more reasonable 86.3% his senior year and is at 80% this year. That's certainly good, but puts him 7th on the team in FT%, and far off from the elite FT shooters like Butler, Nash, and Allen.

                                2. Calling JJ the best shooter of all time is silliness. He wasn't anywhere close. The big thing he had going for him was his jersey and a certain announcer. Realistically, he might not even be a top 3 shooter who played for Duke in the 2000s. His total 3P% was about 41.5, but 39.9 not including his senior year. Mr. Battier and Mr. Williams had a combined 6 years of shooting about 41.5%, including career highs of 44.4% and 44.6%. Paulus has been shooting at 43.5% the past two years.

                                Nation wide, saying JJ was the best shooter in the land is even sillier. Salim Stoudamire went 50.4% from the 3 point line in 2004-2005. That's a lot better than JJ. Then when you get all time players involved, it's over. Ray Allen shot 44.8% for his entire career. JJ probably wouldn't crack a top 50 list of best shooters. Throw in some epic choke jobs in the tourny (a total statline of 11/44). Take away the hype and you get a good shooter. Maybe a borderline great shooter. But best ever? Please.

                                3. The NBA isn't the ACC. Spot up ball screen shooters aren't all that hard to find. Why should he play more? He's shooting a great 32.3% from 3 (good for 9th on the team). It'd be one thing if he was a Kapono, Gibson, or Sasha, but he's not. He's not good enough to be a "sharp shooter" and he can't do anything else. You can find versatile players who can shoot 32% from 3, or you can find stiffs who shoot 45%.

                                Great frickin post.
