how is prolific shooting different from prolific scoring?





Reggie Miller=prolific shooter

Allen Iverson=prolific scorer

There is a big difference. If Reggie took 30 fgs a game like Iverson and other chuckers he would of averaged 35+ a game.

Isn't that proficient shooter? Doesn't the word prolific imply high volume of points?

I would describe reggie as a proficient shooter (but not go so far as to say one of the most proficient shooters to ever play), but would not describe him as a prolific shooter.

And it's not a given that if reggie took more shots that his scoring would go up linearly as to take more shots, you take more low percentage shots.
