------------------------------------------------

My Bet's with PJ Brown, or Ratliff.
-------------------------------------------------
Webber?  (Doubtful, because of all the jump shots, but it's random guess time.) 

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

McDyessRatliffDampierKurt ThomasRasho?  Oberto? Chuck Hayes?
Good one on Rasho (he's #100).  Webber would be eligible since he played this season, but he's not on the list. 3 to go!

2   Shaquille O'Neal   0.5805
15   Eddy Curry   0.5456
17   Carlos Boozer   0.541 (I scratched him out before by mistake)
18   Amare Stoudemire   0.5409
29   Alonzo Mourning   0.5274
40   Yao Ming   0.5201
43   Dikembe Mutombo   0.5184
55   Pau Gasol   0.5127
70   Tim Duncan   0.5076
80   Elton Brand   0.5048
100   Rasho Nesterovic   0.4994
Yup

1 of the guys I forgot even played this year, but he's very high on the list.

1 I just wouldn'thave thought of

1 I guess I could have thought of if I really racked my brain.  2 of the 3 are very tough guesses though.
Yup

I'm going to try to think of guys that have been in the league a while who suck so they only take shots from three feet away

Pollard
Jarron Collins
Jason Collins
Aaron Williams
Krstic (ok that's a long shot)
Cliff Robinson (I doubt it since he shoots 3s)

Oh I got it.  Diop

Stromile Swift
Varejo (doubt it)
Battier? (doubt it)
Kwame Brown
I don't think Okur
Grant Hill? he never shoots 3s
Nick Collison
Francisco Ellson
Bruce Bowen? (I doubt it with the 3s)

Oh I got another. Adonal Foyle

I thought Foyle would have had a high enough FG% but not enough makes, but he falls short on both counts.  He's just a .476 shooter and has hit only 1311 FGs in 11 NBA seasons!
Yup

Ratliff falls just off the list at .497 for his career.  Must have been that 1 for 3 he shot for his Celtics "career" ;)
Yup
