A good shot percentage is different for each position.

Point Guard: The average point guard shoots 40%. A point guard that shoots a good percentage will be around 43%. An excellent shooting percentage would be around 45% and better. Obviously, guards like Tony Parker who shoot primarily layups and floaters will have higher shot percentages than those who prefer to shoot long range shots.

Shooting Guard: The average shooting guard shoots 41%. A shooting guard that shoots a good percentage will be around 44%. An excellent shooting percentage would be around 46% and better. If a shooting guard is mainly an alley-oop catcher, they will have a higher shot percentage than Kevin Martin, who draws fouls and shoots the ball more often.

Small Forward: The average small forward shoots 40%. A small forward that shoots a good percentage will be around 43%. An excellent shooting percentage would be around 45% and better. Small forwards come in many different shapes and sizes, so percentages will vary.

Power Forward: The average power forward shoots 42%. A power forward that shoots a good percentage will be around 46%. An excellent percentage would be around 50%. Power forwards are almost always near the basket and collect many rebounds, thus are able to get easy scoring opportunities.

Center: The average center shoots around 44%. A center that shoots a good percentage will be around 47%. An excellent percentage would be around 50% and higher. Centers, like power forwards, are near the basket a lot.
