    Who has the highest career field-goal percentage in the history of the franchise? Does anyone know?

    It used to be Bill Willoughby, but I think now that Otis Thorpe has the mark.

    HP,

    MOBLEY is shooting .512?

    Which Mobley? Not Cuttino....I think your stats are a little screwed up.

    Where did you get them?

    I just checked the stats section of CC.net Mobley is a career 43% shooter, though about a quarter of those are 3-point attempts.

    Too many jumpshots...

    Naw...just another way to subliminally make us beleive Mobley isnt as bad as he really is at hitting his shots.

    Wow....went to check Mobley's stats for his career and this stuck out at me

    .428
    .306

    That would be Mobley's shooting percent and 3 Point percent for the year.

    Can anyone besides me say....YUCK!


    Oh yeah, he IS averaging one half of one assist more this year than his career mark.
