Will be tough to beat the 2011 team with Lamb, Miller, knight. Jones, Harrellson and Liggins did ok too.

Having good shooters is no guarantee of being a good shooting team , sounds ridiculous but it's true for the very simple reason is that you need to be open to shoot a good percentage . For that you need good interior play , spacing and ball movement to force a defense to get out of position with help defense among other things . Are we going to move the ball enough to create good shots or will the ball die in one persons hands and stagnate everything which makes it really easy for a defense to cover with minimal effort ? Doron Lamb shot a great % because he took quality shots but he got those opportunities because there was good interior play and a pg who was difficult to defend one on one .

This is somewhat "off topic", but the thread led me to Jon Scott's site to see who the best career percentage shooters have been at U.K. over the years. Here's a quick list of the highest career FG percentages of players whom I don't consider to have been almost totally "inside players". Some on this list have a relatively low number of career FG attempts. I didn't make any effort to cull those out. I also added some of the most famous U.K. shooters who had the best career FG percentages.

Just FYI . . .

Erik Daniels 55.32%
Jason Parker 55.17%
Troy McKinley 53.66%
Jim Dinwiddie 52.53%
Dirk Minniefield 52.42%
Steve Lochmueller 52.14%
Kyle Macy 52.07%
Dickie Beal 52.03%
Kevin Grevey 51.74%
Jamal Mashburn 51.64%
Jack Givens 51.47%
Kent Hollenbeck 51.21%
