    Default Who are the 9 best shooters in the League after Steph?

    I place way more value in players that are forced to create their own shots at high volume like Kobe & are still reasonably efficient rather spot up shooters like Novak or Morrow who need to be birdfed.

    1. Klay
    2. Durant
    3. Kyrie
    4. Lillard
    5. Harden
    6. Redick
    7. JR Smith
    8. Devin Booker
    9. PG
    10. Dirk

    You think Paul George is a better shooter than Carmelo Anthony?

    Korver had a down year and I guess "bird-fed" but he's a top 10 shooter in the league no doubt.

    CP3 is possibly one of the best all-around shooters in the league. His mid range game is almost automatic.

    Sucks that he isn't aggressive with his shot, but i'd have him ahead of current Dirk.

    Hard list to make my friend.

    Look at Frye, in Phoenix/Cavs Playoffs run he was a sniper.

    In Orlando he wilted.
    It has alot to do with the system and the kind of looks you get.

    I mean with some players like Curry/Klay you can tell they are creating their own shots, but with so many others it has something to do with the system using them right or not using them right.

    Warriors have literally the 3 best shooters in the league. SMH, stacked. Splash Bros to Splash Fam.

    As another poster observed, it's hard to view the shooter outside the system, which may enable or hinder him.

    But I'd say:

    1. Steph
    2. Korver
    3. Durant
    4. Klay
    5. Lillard
    6. Kyrie
    7. Reddick
    8. Chris Paul
    9. Leonard
    10... ? This is very hard to do. I withdraw my list from official consideration... but there's an attempt.

    JR Smith doesn't belong on this list, IMO. A heat-check player AND a catch-and-shoot player, and from 3 only. Not great from the line. I love JR but he's not in this class.

    As for Korver being spoon-fed: Yes he's a catch and shoot player. But teams put an unbelievable amount of effort into making sure he's never open. They respect him more than anyone not named Steph, even now. I think he's gotta be #2. Players like Klay, Durant, Kyrie, Lillard are knock-down, but they get much more space because they're even more dangerous driving and creating. If like Korver all they had were their jumpers, you'd see they're not on his level IMO.
