How is Coby a way better shooter? I can't wait to hear this.

Well I'm not necessarily comparing Coby's full career to Kirk's considering Cony entered the league about 4 years younger and Kirk never improved a lot after his first 2-3 years, but yeah, Kirk had slightly higher 3pt%, but on way lower volume. But that's just one facet of shooting. Compare their TS% and eFG%. Coby is the clear winner, and that's roughly just comparing Coby from age 19-23 vs Kirk from 23-27 or whatever, which benefits Kirk of course, and yet he was still clearly the inferior shooter. Kirk was the original 3 and D guard. He really wasn't a scoring threat or efficient inside the arc, whereas Coby is a shooting threat anywhere and everywhere inside 25 feet.
You said Coby is a way better shooter. When proven wrong you stated my position as if it was yours.
Hinrich shot over 39% from 3 at the age of 30, 32... and shot .387 at the age of 35.

You might want to read up on TRUE shooting percentage, and EFFECTIVE field goal percentage. Then use those metrics to understand why Coby is a better shooter. By the way, Patrick Williams and Ayo both shot better from 3 this year, AND on higher volume, than Kirk averaged with the Bulls. But they're not nearly at the volume Coby is. The lower your volume the less your 3pt% means because it indicates that you're taking more open, easy shots. Keith Bogans shot a good 3pt% on low volume. Didn't make him a good shooter.
