Mark Price

Mark Price was a deadeye in an era before the three-point revolution made shooting fashionable, and that's exactly why I respect him so much. His career free-throw percentage sits among the best of all time, and watching old Cavaliers footage you see a point guard who controlled the game with precision rather than athleticism. Undersized at 6'1", he beat people with footwork, a quick release, and pure shooting touch. His pick-and-roll play defined those late-'80s and early-'90s Cleveland teams. He later passed that knowledge along as a shooting coach, which feels right for one of the purest shooters ever.
