While looking up Fred Roberts career stats after an obscure reference by Bahku, I was amazed to see that he ranked #92 on the all the all time NBA Career Field Goal Pct list.  Among qualified players (at least 2000 FGM) only 99 players in the history of the league have shot .500 or better from the field.

Our trivia question for tonight is to name the 14 active players to rank in the All Time Top 100 Field Goal Percentages.  To be considered "active" a player must have appeared in a game during 2007-08 season.

Fire away...and as always

NO CHEATING!

  • I left Indiana. Because it was horrible.
Shaq's got to be the active leader.  It's gotta be mostly centers, even if they can't shoot...so
Mourning
Mutombo
Ming
Stoudamire (nothing but dunks thanks to Nash)
Duncan (not a center, but reliable shooter)
Curry always shoots well, since its the only thing he contributes to a fantasy team.  he's probably top ten. 
Yao

Finding 6 more will be tough

Elton Brand?
Brad Miller?
Pau Gasol?
Shawn Marion?
Ilgauskas?
Chris Kaman...if he qualifies.

Boozer seemed like a good guess too.  I would have put him on the list if you didn't cross him out.

I'm assuming that Andris Biedrins doesn't qualify yet, but he'd be up there otherwise.

Amare.  Gasol.  Brand.  KG.  Bosh.  Yao.  Nash?

Big Z --- Ilgauskaus' got to be on there, right?

Ben Wallace? poor offensive player but most of his shot attempts are layups/dunks.

those are my 2 most likely suspects-- to tired to keep thinking.

This is really hard.
To the other guesses I will toss in the following:
M. Blount (we will all hate it, but probably a good bet);
R. Wallace (if he doesn't make it, it is because of the 3pt attempts);
A. Jefferson is probably close but if Howard missed, Jefferson probably did as well....

Webber?  (Doubtful, because of all the jump shots, but it's random guess time.) 

Of course...  is he even still active?  Scratch that.

McDyess?  Ratliff?  Dampier?  Kurt Thomas?  Rasho?  Oberto? Chuck Hayes?
