Good question. I would say someone who has a relatively high percentage shot at distance. It often refers to a three point shooter, but I think it also can apply to anyone who’s got a decent mid range game.Help me out here. What is the generally agreed upon definition of a “shooter”? Someone whose main role is to score? Someone who has a high percentage shot? Both? Or something else?

Exactly. That's why I consider MJ one of the best shooters ever. Mid-range he was a killer.Volume means nothing when I’m defining a shooter. Good to great efficiency from mid-range to three point range is a must.

What does my favorite pop-punk band have to do with this?I can't believe nobody has mentioned NFG yet...
That was me on the freshmen team. But to be clear I was the 8th man off the bench, not the third. I was not a shooter.When I was growing up playing, I always got a kick out of coaches yelling "shooter" when the 7th or 8th man came off the bench. Most likely he was not a "shooter."
