Ill say Byron Scott and Dennis Johnson...

Byron Scott???????????

Even Avery Johnson has a higher playoff FG% than him!





It is only .486 vs .482 though.

I was trying to think of players who didn't shoot that often but still converted a large number of shots they did take.  Dunno why Byron Scott came to mind.  That fast break to stop at the FT to shoot a wide open shot was always money. 
Because he did shoot often and his .482 conversion makes both his # of attempts and shot % better then almost everyone on the list.
Nearly 2000 fg attempts matches with Magics 2500, and for his 1st 10 seasons Scott averaged about 17 pts per playoff game.  That even including his rookie year of 8 pts pg.
By comparison Avery only took 819 attempts career.
Kidds at 1169
Tony Parker already at 1005
SuperGNob 549
MJ the guard King at 4497 beats even Kreams 4422 with Stilt at 2700.

Untill 1988 Scott was only money at home.  Durring the 1988 season he became money on any court, one of the sweetest strokes of his era, only Dale Ellis could match that stroke.
