1. Marquis Teague (12-for-41, 29.3 percent)
2. Kirk Hinrich (12-for-37, 32.4 percent)
3. Zaza Pachulia (27-for-71, 38.0 percent)

It makes some sense to have small guards at or near the top of the list. I can understand Hinrich because of his lack of athleticism, but someone is going to have to explain how 6’11” Zaza Pachulia is shooting so horrible from this close. He’s shooting 36.2 percent from the field on the year, which is exactly 10 percent less than his 46.2 career mark. Ugly. And he’s shooting badly.
