When does a player become a shooter instead of a player that can shoot? (alien.top)

What is it based on for you? Would it be volume or efficiency?

It's easy to tell the specialists like Korver or Peja but I'm curious when Dame for example became a dangerous shooter as opposed to something else. KD has a great percentage at all spots but he's not considered a "shooter" in my opinion.

My question came from watching Tyrese Maxey who has a similar 3 point% to Dame but they're aren't categorized the same.

For example:

Shooters- Steph, Dame, Hield

Can shoot- D Mitchell, Kyrie, Tatum

I hate that I simultaneously understand and don't understand this question.
