Mark Price among greatest NBA Shooters

[RamblinRed]

Makes the Top 15 all-time NBA Shooter list from CBSSpotrs.

13. Mark Price
A tremendous all-around point guard who was ahead of his time in terms of his style of play, Price has the third-best career free-throw percentage in NBA history (90.4), and shot 40.2 percent from 3-point range during his 12-year career. One thing that separated Price from his sweet-shooting contemporaries was his ability to hit jumpers off the dribble, even from 3-point range. When his feet were still, however, you could forget about it. He showcased his shooting supremacy by winning back-to-back 3-point contests in 1993 and 1994.

If Price were just a spot-up shooter he might have made this list anyway, but the fact that he was a complete player with four All-NBA selections, including a first-team in 1993, makes his accomplishments as a shooter even more noteworthy. This wasn't a guy standing in the corner waiting for wide-open looks -- he was creating those looks himself, usually under duress, and knocking them down with proficiency. --

Considering who isn’t on that list, not only is it hallowed company, but he edged out some amazing players.
I can see people arguing the order of the list, but it’s hard to knock most of them off the list.

Reading about Petrovic just reminded me how insanely good that dude was.

How about a top 16?

If he had a teammate like MJ to draw defenses he might have topped Kerr.

Mark Price was a master of the pick and roll. Younger guys, if you think Price was just a spot up shooter, like Steve Kerr, watch this.

Good for Morrow, always liked him.

Also, both Curry brothers in the Top 6 all time

Too bad Dennis Scott didn't keep his weight down.
