12. Mark Price

Mark Price is one of the forgotten greats. He revolutionized the pick-and-roll, made four All-NBA appearances and received a First Team nod in 1993.

As it pertains to this list, Price is one of the greatest shooters to ever grace the hardwood.

Price became a member of the 50-40-90 club in 1989 when he averaged 18.9 points on a ridiculous slash line of .526/.441/.901. It was one of his five seasons above 40 percent shooting from 3-point range and one of six above 90 percent from the free throw line.

As it presently stands, Price is No. 2 all-time in career free throw percentage and No. 27 in career 3-point field goal percentage.

Price’s remarkable efficiency was especially impressive when one considers how aggressive a scorer he was. He created his own offense and averaged 15.2 points per game for his career.

No. 12 is unfathomably low for Price, but that’s not an indictment of his greatness as a shooter.
