Top 5 Shooting Big Men In The NBA

Some NBA guards can’t even shoot the ball. So when big power forwards and centers can knock down mid-range and three point shots; it’s a big deal. Not a lot of big men can shoot from as far out as these five guys I am about to name.

 

5. LaMarcus Aldridge

2009-2010 Stats: 43% shooting percentage and 50% 3 point percentage

After watching a few videos of Aldridge he doesn't use a step back or pump fake when he shoots his jump shot. He just pulls up and since he is 6'11 defenders can't just stick a hand up and expect to get a block. He was 5-16 this year from beyond the three point line.

 

4.  Chris Bosh

2009-2010 Stats: 51% shooting percentage and 36% 3 point percentage

Right now the only thing people think about Chris Bosh is that he is part of the "Big Three." But Bosh is a good shooter. Out of that 36 percent 3 point percentage he was 8-22. Overall in his career he is 50-168 which is 29 percent that’s not bad for a guy who is an aggressive 6'10 guy. When a 6'10 player has a good jump shot, it’s hard to defend.
