    Some great suggestions, but I'm going to say Dale Ellis - The man could shoot the lights out and did it effortlessly, launching bombs in a nanosecond - Jeff Malone and Eddie Johnson were also fast shooters...

    Sadly, before he died in a car crash, Petrovic, as mentioned above, probably had the quickest release - he had a seamless catch and shoot motion.

    Brent Barry has a very quick release.

    I'll throw in a scrub: Brian Cook from the Lakers. The guy has an insanely quick release, and I still remember how he lit is up in our last game against the Lakers :mad:

    Just throw in a couple of old timers. Our Calvin Murphy had the quickest dribble I've ever seen. And his release was pretty fast too. He had to, because with his size, anybody could block him from 5 feet.

    Another guy I remember was Rolando Blackman. Great catch and shoot stroke off the pick, kind of like Reggie Miller.
