It seems that poor shooters have gotten better at taking fewer shots, but I was wondering if there were some famously poor shooters that went on to have long careers with their other contributions to the teams.

Are you talking perimeter players only? Tons of big guys who couldn’t shoot a lick that had good careers.

Shaq played 19 years in the NBA and scored 1 three-pointer on 22 attempts.

Jimmy Butler hasn’t had a season better than 24.5% from 3 as a member of the Heat.

I was going to say Raja Bell but he had 10 seasons of at least 37% 3pt shooting and several over 40%

Neither was Bob Cousey(sp)
