"Good shooters"

I never have understood why "good shooters" can only be three-point shooters. Granted that they take the majority of their shots from a longer range, but they also take them generally wide open, since they are protected by the ridiculous 3-shot foul. Inside players are likely to be enduring a mugging when they shoot. Furthermore, that particular designation for measuring shooters is purely arbitrary, based upon a stripe on the floor. Are players who were proficient at pull-up mid-range jumpers in the days before the 3-pointer not to be counted as "good shooters"? Just one more reason not to like the 3-point shot: it is even interfering with our language.
