Justin Gray had some chucker characteristics, and his failed stint as PG adds to that narrative a bit

Agreed. He's probably the best Wake chucker we've had unless you want to call Childress a chucker. (I'll leave the Charlie Davis chucker discussion to the olds)

 

[BeachBumDeac]

Reggie Miller?

 

[JuiceCrewAllStar]

Childress is not a chucker in my head, he’s a scorer

 

[JuiceCrewAllStar]

Can Thomas is probably the biggest chucker in the nba right now

 

[PhDeac]

Childress is not a chucker in my head, he’s a scorer

Agreed. The line between "scorer" and "elite chucker" isn't clear though.

 

[RedSoxFaithful]

reasonable people can disagree on what a chucker is, but to me, a chucker mostly just gets up shots — no passes, no dribbles but to get to a shooting spot

Klay kinda comes to mind but he was an elite defender in his prime, which I don’t associate with a true chucker

see i would argue that an iso component necessarily exists for a chucker, with lots of empty dribbles

 

[JuiceCrewAllStar]

Childress did to much off the bounce to be a chucker, in my opinion

 

[kernersvillan]

Was hoping for a nice Friday afternoon announcement to set the weekend off right

 

[RedSoxFaithful]

steve francis, for example

 

[JuiceCrewAllStar]

right

a guy that can get to the rim often is not a chucker

a chucker has a shot chart with very few shots in the paint

 

[Strickland33]

ROK was a chucker imo

 

[DemunDeacon]

Allegedly, Ervin Murray's secretive AOL Instant Messenger handle was, "PassItROK."

I heard it was “PassItNumber4” or “PassItNumberFour” or thereabouts, but yea—regardless of the exact wording of the screen name, I pretty much heard the same thing.

Good call.

 

[DeacsATS]

Chuckers:
Monsanto
Dawson
Arians
Antonio

 

[DeacDownUnder]

Baba apparently deciding between Kansas State, Wake, and FAU. Anyone know how his on-campus with us went?

PassItFour, iirc

 

[DeaconSig]

Jordan Poole is a chucker.

 

[birdman]

Who is the best ever hoper that could be called a chucker?

 

[deacvision7]

that's a cool ass looking bird
