In the true shooting percentage statistic, yes they can. And that's exactly what Milwaukee Bucks point guard Ryan Rollins did on Friday night in a 122-121 win over the Charlotte Hornets.
True shooting accounts for the fact that 3-pointers are worth more than 2-points.
The actual shooting line for Rollins was 11-for-13 from the field, including 6-for-7 from 3-point range.
In true shooting, that's 107.9%. Not bad.

Rollins has been a revelation this season. The Bucks may not be having the campaign they wanted, but Rollins has proven not just that he belongs in the NBA but that he's a quality starter.

He actually was a Golden State Warriors drafted pick a few seasons ago.
Now, Rollins is a no-doubt starter for the Bucks as they try to prove to Antetokounmpo that he doesn't need to ask for a trade.
If Rollins keeps shooting at such a pristine rate, that'll go a long way toward keeping everybody happy.
