Fwiw, Hantlers is correct. The generally used term among basketball staffs, scouts, and the players themselves is shooter vs. scorer.
Scorer means mutli-dimensional. We're not debating dictionary definitions here, but rather industry vernacular.
 
Also you must eat pork, because of pork bangers!!!!!!!!

I agree with your definition of a multi-dimensional scorer like Kobe, etc. (probably only a few in the league, since most players have a few "go to" moves where they score 80% of their points).

I disagree that the term "scorer" -- when used by players/ coaches/ media/ fans -- always connotes a player who is a "multi-diminsional scorer" -- it usually means the people who score the most points by whatever means. For example, from google search: "Al Jefferson is an efficient scorer...." "Al Jefferson has been a consistent scorer" And we know how often Big Al scored from the line or on 3s. He is clearly not multidimensional. And clearly there are some who call him a "scorer"

Peace brother, have a good day.....

Jefferson is multidimensional. He has a low-post game and a jump-shooting game.

True, in some contexts it is meant to mean a multidimensional scorer.

If I would ask you "who was the Jazz leading scorer last year" most people would answer "Al Jefferson"

But would some people who believe that Big Al was not multi-dimensional scorer (no 3s, very few FTs) would they say "Gordon Hayward"?

The way the term scorer is used is not absolute, it is subjective and depends on context.

Peace brother.......

But Al Jefferson is a multi-dimensional scorer. He has a multitude of post moves, can hit a jump shot, gets points off of rebounds...this isn't that hard.

Players like Korver get their points from jumpshots that are set up by other players. They aren't creating anything, pretty much all they do is shoot jumpers.
 
Good lord, just agree to disagree. However a scorer is someone who may not shoot efficiently but still is (usually) able to score efficiently and it is usually agreed that the scorer creates their own shots whereas a shooter is a catch and shoot, off a screen or maybe a dribble or two then shoot.
 
Surprised nobody posted Lindsey's quote from his Friday interview.

He couldn't comment on the Clark signing, and said as much without naming names. But he said there were a couple of player moves the Jazz were waiting to announce maybe next week.

Let the wild speculation begin about what the other moves are....
