NBA Power Rankings: Curry, Dirk and the Top 10 Pure Shooters
Honorable Mention: Pablo Prigioni, New York Knicks
3PT FGM: 1.0
3PT FG%: .464
FT%: .917
Mid-Range FG%: .429
True Shooting %: .642
Pablo Prigioni is one of the most efficient shooters in the world. The New York Knicks point guard converted his 3-point field goals at a clip of 46.4 percent and his free throws at 91.7.
So what keeps Prigioni off of this list? He only attempted 2.1 3-pointers per game and 0.2 free throws. Sample size matters.
Honorable Mention: Ray Allen, Free Agent
3PT FGM: 1.6
3PT FG%: .375
FT%: .905
Mid-Range FG%: .444
True Shooting %: .590
With uncertainty surrounding his future, Ray Allen’s free agency tag hurts his ranking. He remains the greatest shooter in NBA history and his recent clutch performances in the postseason solidify his status as such.
Allen’s above-the-break numbers are concerning, but history says he’ll correct those with ease—if he returns.
Until he signs with a team and declares that he isn’t retiring, The King is an honorable mention.
