The first great European player to play in the NBA, Drazen Petrovic was one of the game’s greatest shooters of all time. He was a world class one.
Petro was a sharp shooter who could find the bottom of the net from anywhere. He relied on screens to get open looks, but he could also create his own jumper, hit off the dribble, was terrific in catch and shot etc.
Drazen had terrific range on his shots. He was excellent from mid range, where he shot above 50% percent for his career. Only few have matched that.
He was a lethal threat at beyond the arc too. Petrovic consistently was among the leaders in three point percentage. He’s also among the top 5 leaders in that category.
He was also good at the charity. His efficiency was simply off the charts. Drazen had over 50% field goal percentage in an era where the average was around 44% percent.
His excellence as a shooter was undeniable. This is why he was guarded pretty close. He was so great! It’s a shame that he lost his life too early.
