Was watching the Cavs game, and my wife asked me if there had ever been a short white guy who was a bad shooter. My initial thought was, "of course. There has to be." But I can't think of a single one. Rubio? He's Spanish though.

I can't think of a single white guard ever who was a poor shooter.

Anyone?

I wanted to say Jason Williams but apparently he shot .327 from deep for his career. Respectable. .398 regular fg% though

Cousy couldn't shoot? I really don't know.

JWill was a pretty good shooter. Not like Steve Kerr or anything, but solid.

Not really. Seemed like a slashing drive and kick type guy. Very rarely shoots from the outside in any of his highlights. Drives to the hoop in almost every one. Also had a pretty ugly form in the few jumpers Ive seen him take and has an atrocious career FG%. Just putting two and two together here. I'm sure JORR will be along shortly to explain how he was actually a better shooter than Steph Curry.

Not white, but Jayson Williams also had a killer shot.

Scott Skiles was not a great shooter.

He played 7 seasons, that's enough to be considered for the discussion I think

The fact that he couldn't shoot is probably the reason why.

He played in 269 games.

Hurley was kind of odd in that he was crushed by a drunk going 70mph after his rookie year. Amazing he continued on.

He wasn't much of a shooter in college either.

Cubs are playing in case you want to watch a sport that doesn't suck.

Bobby Hurley is the correct answer. Hadn't thought of him.

Flipping back and forth.

That's a pretty decent number of games played for someone that sucked so bad

Pretty much every one of them who played before the 80s besides Rick Mount.
