    That seems about right, Chandler always misses from the top of the circle, both left and right.

    Minimum shot requirement in a zone to be considered = 50. Not sure Lin's taken enough mid-range or 3s in those zones to be considered.

    Parsons has a tendency to fade away when he shoots from that area...not sure why.

    Rivers...SMH.

    The list should've been called Worst Shooting Chuckers in the NBA then.

    Well... that's not quite accurate either since most of the players on here aren't "chuckers" aside from Smith and Ellis.

    And people here still want Josh Smith bwaha. Inefficient chucker with no ball-iq.

    Unless its more subjective going with guys who are HOPELESSLY UNABLE like Omer Asik, I think thats usually the implied definition when talking about the worst shooters.

    Its the Shameless Sh**ty Shooters list

    This article actually made me think he might be a good fit here.

    I'm sure Morey/McHale would do everything they can to get through to him to stop taking these shots.

    Austin Rivers might be the worst player I have ever seen.

    It's about shooting % from an area on the court. Parsons overall 3p% is good @ .359 for the number of 3PA he has per game. Harden is down to .327 for 3P%.

    But the thing is - ATL fans have been hoping coaches would limit his shot selection for years and it still hasn't happened, which means its likely it won't happen or it will happen during the twilight of his career.

    If the top of the circle three is such a bad shot, which it is for almost all threeleros out there, why do they still take it? ahh.

    Maybe Morey can put in a clause in his contract requiring him to have a certain FG%?

    I bet he really wishes he stayed in college now. He really is terrible.

    Probably because it's usually more open than other 3P shots. At least it seems that way when we're on D. It would be interesting to see a 3P shot chart against our D.
