The Best And Worst 3-Point Shooter On Every NBA Team Right Now

The dynamics of three-point shooting have become a pivotal force reshaping the league’s landscape. As we dive into the heart of every team’s roster, we unravel the tales of marksmen who redefine the game, nailing treys with a precision that mirrors the league’s shift toward perimeter dominance.

From seasoned veterans continuing to showcase their sniper-like accuracy to rising stars challenging the status quo, the NBA’s three-point spectrum is a canvas of both consistency and surprises. 

Only players with at least 10 appearances and 1.0 3PA will be considered in this analysis, as this will show which players are actually taking and missing threes consistently.

Here is the best and worst shooter on every team in the NBA. 

Atlanta Hawks

Best 3-PT Shooter: Bogdan Bogdanovic – 41.0%, 3.4 3PM

Worst 3-PT Shooter: Wesley Matthews – 22.2%, 0.4 3PM

Atlanta’s sharpshooting prowess is epitomized by Bogdan Bogdanovic, a key contributor to their offensive arsenal, and not Trae Young. Young is nailing 37.9% of his threes but he has not been as efficient as Bogdanovic. With an impressive 41.0% success rate from beyond the arc and averaging 3.4 three-pointers per game, Bogdanovic not only stretches defenses but also provides invaluable floor spacing for the Hawks.

His ability to knock down shots from long-range adds a layer of unpredictability to Atlanta’s offensive schemes, making him a linchpin for success. Meanwhile, career 37.5% shooter Wesley Matthews finds himself grappling with inconsistency from downtown this season. While his defensive prowess is well-regarded, the Hawks may need to reassess their offensive strategy when Matthews is on the floor, ensuring they capitalize on other strengths to maintain efficiency.

Boston Celtics

Best 3-PT Shooter: – Sam Hauser – 45.8%, 2.8 3PM

Worst 3-PT Shooter: – Oshae Brisset – 20.0%, 0.2 3PM

In the Boston Celtics’ realm, Sam Hauser isn’t merely a shooter; he’s a precision engineer crafting the team’s offensive architecture. At an impressive 45.8%, Hauser transforms the court with his shooting, averaging 2.8 three-pointers per game. His presence extends beyond scoring, influencing the Celtics’ spacing and offensive strategies as he posts 9.6 points per game.

On the flip side, Oshae Brissett, with a 20.0% accuracy, faces a challenge but not defeat. Brissett’s impact lies in versatility and tenacity—qualities the Celtics might channel strategically to complement the finesse of their three-point sharpshooter, Hauser. Brissett is more of a hustle-first player and is taking at least one three-pointer per game but is not making his shots.

Brooklyn Nets

Best 3-PT Shooter: – Lonnie Walker IV – 46.3%, 2.6 3PM

Worst 3-PT Shooter: – Dennis Smith Jr. – 31.8%, 0.5 3PM

In the star-studded galaxy of the Brooklyn Nets, Lonnie Walker IV emerges as an unexpected constellation of three-point brilliance. At an impressive 46.3%, Walker is averaging 2.6 three-pointers per game. His accuracy is a testament to the surgical precision he brings to the offensive onslaught orchestrated by Brooklyn’s offense based on floor spacing. On the flip side, Dennis Smith Jr., while not matching the astronomical accuracy of his counterparts, brings a different gravitational force to the team.

Conversely, Dennis Smith Jr., though not boasting Walker’s lofty percentages, adds a layer of unpredictability to the Nets’ arsenal. His 31.8% accuracy may seem modest, but it’s about the strategic deployment of Smith. Coming off the bench, Smith injects a burst of energy and a willingness to take calculated risks from deep.

Charlotte Hornets

Best 3-PT Shooter: James Bouknight – 57.1%, 2.0 3PM

Worst 3-PT Shooter: Theo Maledon – 16.7%, 0.4 3PM

At only 23 years old, James Bouknight emerges as a beacon of three-point precision. With an astounding 57.1% accuracy and a steady 2.0 three-pointers per game, Bouknight not only exemplifies shooting excellence but injects a youthful exuberance into the Hornets’ offensive identity. His impact extends beyond the arc, influencing defensive rotations and enhancing the team’s offensive versatility.

Contrastingly, Theo Maledon grapples with a challenging 16.7% accuracy, yet his presence on the Hornets is not devoid of significance. Maledon, despite his struggles from deep, contributes in other facets, showcasing resilience and playmaking acumen. Still, he should not be taking more than one three-pointer per game at this rate although he is taking 2.3 on average.

Chicago Bulls

Best 3-PT Shooter: Alex Caruso – 47.2%, 1.6 3PM

Worst 3-PT Shooter: Nikola Vucevic – 26.8%, 1.0 3PM

The unexpected shines as Alex Caruso emerges as the team’s most reliable three-point marksman. Caruso’s impressive 47.2% accuracy, paired with a modest 1.6 three-pointers per game, symbolizes more than just perimeter proficiency; it underscores the evolution of the Bulls’ offensive strategy. Caruso, known for his defensive prowess, has seamlessly integrated into the Bulls’ system, adding an unexpected layer of long-range threat that elevates the team’s scoring efficiency. No wonder the Los Angeles Lakers are after him at this moment.

Conversely, Nikola Vucevic, primarily known for his prowess in the paint, grapples with a 26.8% accuracy from beyond the arc. Yet, Vucevic’s significance extends beyond his three-point struggles. As a versatile big man, he draws defenders away from the paint, creating opportunities for his teammates. While the numbers may suggest a shooting challenge, the Bulls strategically deploy Vucevic to exploit mismatches and diversify their offensive approach so far.

Cleveland Cavaliers

Best 3-PT Shooter: Sam Merrill – 43.2%, 1.2 3PM

Worst 3-PT Shooter: Caris LeVert – 31.7%, 1.7 3PM

Even with many great shooters on the team, Sam Merrill emerges as a hidden gem, showcasing not just shooting prowess but the ability to reshape the team’s offensive narrative. Merrill’s impressive 43.2% accuracy from beyond the arc, coupled with a steady 1.2 three-pointers per game, symbolizes the Cavaliers’ commitment to letting the 27-year-old let loose from deep.

On the flip side, Caris LeVert, though struggling with a 31.7% accuracy, holds a unique role in the Cavaliers’ scheme. LeVert, known for his versatility, contributes in various facets beyond three-point shooting. The Cavaliers may strategically harness LeVert’s playmaking and scoring ability to complement his shooting struggles so far this season.

Dallas Mavericks

Best 3-PT Shooter: Dante Exum – 42.9%, 0.8 3PM

Worst 3-PT Shooter: Olivier-Maxence Prosper – 25.0%, 0.3 3PM

For the Luka Doncic-led Dallas Mavericks, Dante Exum emerges as an unexpected guardian of three-point efficiency. Exum’s impressive 42.9% accuracy, despite a relatively modest 0.8 three-pointers per game, symbolizes the Mavericks’ commitment to extracting maximum output from every contributor. His impact transcends traditional statistics, adding a layer of unpredictability to the Mavericks’ offensive repertoire. Exum’s efficient marksmanship highlights the team’s knack for finding value in unconventional places, enriching their offensive palette.

Conversely, Olivier-Maxence Prosper, while grappling with a 25.0% accuracy, represents a different narrative in the Mavericks’ strategic playbook. As a developing talent, Prosper’s role extends beyond three-point shooting. Dallas has also benefitted from the three-point shooting of Doncic (37.9%) and Kyrie Irving (38.4%) so far this season.

Denver Nuggets

Best 3-PT Shooter: Justin Holiday – 47.4%, 1.1 3PM

Worst 3-PT Shooter: Aaron Gordon – 22.7%, 0.4 3PM

For the reigning NBA champion Denver Nuggets, Justin Holiday stands as a beacon of three-point efficiency, transcending the thin air with his sharpshooting prowess. Holiday’s stellar 47.4% accuracy, complemented by a steady 1.1 three-pointers per game, epitomizes the Nuggets’ commitment to reliable perimeter threats. With 16 appearances, Holiday has been extremely efficient ahead of Jamal Murray (41.4%) and Kentavious Caldwell-Pope (40.4%).

On a different note, Aaron Gordon, while grappling with a 22.7% accuracy, dons a unique hat in the Nuggets’ strategic ensemble. Known for his athleticism and versatility, Gordon’s value extends beyond the three-point line. The Nuggets may strategically utilize Gordon’s cutting ability and defensive prowess, leveraging his strengths while mitigating the impact of his shooting struggles as they did last year in the championship run.

Detroit Pistons

Best 3-PT Shooter: Stanley Umude – 51.9%, 0.9 3PM

Worst 3-PT Shooter: – Ausar Thompson 15.4%, 0.3 3PM

In the Motor City arena of the Detroit Pistons, Stanley Umude emerges as the precision architect of three-point efficiency considering how badly the Pistons have been performing with a 23-game losing streak right now. Umude’s impressive 51.9% accuracy, coupled with a measured 0.9 three-pointers per game, symbolizes the Pistons’ commitment to nurturing burgeoning talent and integrating them seamlessly into their offensive fabric.

Conversely, Ausar Thompson, while wrestling with a challenging 15.4% accuracy, holds a unique role in the Pistons’ strategic playbook. The Pistons may strategically deploy Thompson’s defensive tenacity and versatility, mitigating the impact of his three-point struggles. The rookie has had an excellent season defensively, posting 8.1 rebounds, 0.9 steals, and 1.2 blocks per game, to his credit.

Golden State Warriors

Best 3-PT Shooter: Stephen Curry – 42.3%, 5.0 3PM

Worst 3-PT Shooter: Cory Joseph – 21.1%, 0.4 3PM

In the vibrant Bay Area landscape of the Golden State Warriors, the story of three-point mastery finds its maestro in none other than Stephen Curry. With a scorching 42.3% accuracy and a remarkable 5.0 three-pointers per game, Curry continues to redefine the limits of long-range proficiency. His impact isn’t confined to the box score; it shapes the very essence of the Warriors’ identity. Curry’s unparalleled shooting prowess not only stretches defenses but serves as a gravitational force even for the struggling 11-14 team.

On a contrasting note, Cory Joseph, while navigating a challenging 21.1% accuracy, holds a distinct role in the Warriors’ strategic mosaic. As a seasoned floor general, Joseph’s impact extends beyond shooting statistics. The Warriors may strategically deploy Joseph’s playmaking and defensive acumen, using him as a stabilizing force during Curry’s brief rest.

Houston Rockets

Best 3-PT Shooter: Aaron Holiday – 44.1%, 1.3 3PM

Worst 3-PT Shooter: Alperen Sengun – 30.8%, 0.7 3PM

Aaron Holiday is the best shooter for the Houston Rockets, navigating the court with an impressive 44.1% accuracy and a steady 1.3 three-pointers per game. Holiday’s impact transcends his individual statistics; it symbolizes the Rockets’ commitment to infusing reliable perimeter threats into their evolving offensive offense which is being led by Fred VanVleet and Alperen Sengun.

Speaking of Alperen Sengun, the big man’s true weakness in his game is his 30.8% accuracy, as that remains the area to improve upon. Sengun has been dominant at times as a scorer, rebounder, and passer but his shooting leaves a bit to be desired right now. As Sengun improves his shot, he might be unstoppable to handle considering his play so far this season.

Indiana Pacers

Best 3-PT Shooter: Tyrese Haliburton – 43.5%, 3.7 3PM

Worst 3-PT Shooter: Andrew Nembhard – 24.3%, 0.5 3PM

A budding superstar, Tyrese Haliburton emerges as the three-point virtuoso for the Pacers, painting the perimeter with an impressive 43.5% accuracy and a prolific 3.7 three-pointers per game. Haliburton’s impact is more than statistical; it’s a symphony of precision and playmaking that transforms the Pacers’ offensive identity. More than his shooting, Haliburton is averaging 25.7 points and 12.0 assists per game which are incredible numbers.

On a contrasting note, Andrew Nembhard, grappling with a challenging 24.3% accuracy, charts a different course in the Pacers’ strategic narrative. As a developing talent, Nembhard’s impact extends beyond shooting statistics as he is only 23 years old and is posting 4.1 assists per game which is impressive for a backup guard.

Los Angeles Clippers

Best 3-PT Shooter: Kawhi Leonard – 44.1%, 2.4 3PM

Worst 3-PT Shooter: Terance Mann – 23.6%, 0.7 3PM

Kawhi Leonard stands as the maestro of three-point shots for the Los Angeles Lakers, painting the arc with a polished 44.1% accuracy and a formidable 2.4 three-pointers per game. Leonard’s impact extends beyond the sheer numbers; it’s about the strategic mastery of a two-way force who, with his perimeter prowess, elevates the Clippers’ offensive dynamism. Even if Paul George is nailing 38.9%, Leonard is on a different level as a shooter this season.

Contrasting this brilliance, Terance Mann, navigating a challenging 23.6% accuracy, charts a different course in the Clippers’ strategic narrative. While grappling with three-point struggles, Mann’s value is found in his versatility and defensive tenacity. For whatever reason, Mann is making an impact in other areas but his shooting has been poor so far and must improve if he wants to earn more than 26.4 minutes per game.

Los Angeles Lakers

Best 3-PT Shooter: LeBron James – 40.1%, 2.3 3PM

Worst 3-PT Shooter: Christian Wood – 27.9%, 0.7 3PM

LeBron James, often known for his all-around brilliance, shockingly steps into the spotlight as the team’s premier three-point marksman. With a commanding 40.1% accuracy and a steady 2.3 three-pointers per game, James defies traditional roles and adds a layer of sniper-like precision to the Lakers’ offensive repertoire. It might have never been the case where James is the best shooter on the team but he has managed to accomplish this at nearly 39 years old.

On a contrasting note, Christian Wood, while grappling with a 27.9% accuracy, maneuvers through a different narrative in the Lakers’ strategic playbook. Known for his athleticism and versatility, Wood’s impact extends beyond the three-point line. The Lakers may strategically utilize Wood’s rim protection and rebounding, mitigating the impact of his three-point struggles. As great as James has been in his 21st season, it might serve as a red flag that more shooting is needed on the team to reach true championship aspirations.

Memphis Grizzlies

Best 3-PT Shooter: Desmond Bane – 37.9%, 3.3 3PM

Worst 3-PT Shooter: David Roddy – 29.1%, 1.0 3PM

Even in the absence of Ja Morant, Desmond Bane emerges as the chief conductor of three-point symphonies for the Grizzlies, orchestrating the perimeter with a smooth 37.9% accuracy and a prolific 3.3 three-pointers per game. Posting a team-leading 24.9 points per game, Bane’s ability to stretch defenses and capitalize on scoring opportunities symbolizes the Grizzlies’ commitment to nurturing emerging talents for sustained success.

On the flip side, David Roddy, navigating a challenging 29.1% accuracy, crafts a different verse in the Grizzlies’ strategic melody. As a versatile forward, Roddy’s impact extends beyond the three-point line. The Grizzlies may strategically deploy Roddy’s physicality, utilizing his unique skill set while addressing the nuances of his three-point game.

Miami Heat

Best 3-PT Shooter: Kyle Lowry – 43.9%, 3PM

Worst 3-PT Shooter: Josh Richardson – 31.9%, 1.4 3PM

In the sizzling atmosphere of Miami Heat, Kyle Lowry emerges as the chief architect of three-point brilliance for the Heat, orchestrating the perimeter with a scorching 43.9% accuracy. With a steady hand from downtown, Lowry not only adds scoring versatility but also enhances the Heat’s veteran leadership, exemplifying the team’s commitment to strategic acquisitions for championship contention even as the player approaches 38 years old.

On the flip side, Josh Richardson, navigating a 31.9% accuracy, crafts a different chapter in the Heat’s strategic narrative. Despite three-point shooting challenges, Richardson’s value lies in his defensive tenacity as a backup shooting guard and swingman. Richardson is a career 36.3% shooter so his accuracy should increase as the weeks go by although he has been the worst shooter on the Heat this season.

Milwaukee Bucks

Best 3-PT Shooter: Malik Beasley – 45.8%, 3.0 3PM

Worst 3-PT Shooter: Giannis Antetokounmpo – 22/5%, 0.4 3PM

Despite the presence of Damian Lillard, Malik Beasley steps into the spotlight as the Bucks’ premier three-point artisan, painting the perimeter with a dazzling 45.8% accuracy and a prolific 3.0 three-pointers per game. Amazingly, Lillard is only shooting 35.2% from three this season as Beasley has been the most consistent outside shooter this season and has been one of the best-performing players for Milwaukee.

On the flip side, the Greek Freak, Giannis Antetokounmpo, while navigating a challenging 22.5% accuracy, adds a unique brushstroke to the Bucks’ strategic canvas. Known for his rim-rocking dunks and all-around brilliance as an MVP candidate, Giannis’s value extends beyond the three-point line. The Greek Freak will never be an elite shooter so as long as he dominates inside, that is all that matters.

Minnesota Timberwolves

Best 3-PT Shooter: Karl-Anthony Towns – 43.0%, 2.0 3PM

Worst 3-PT Shooter: Shake Milton – 24.4%, 0.5 3PM

One of the best shooting big men ever, Karl-Anthony Towns is no surprise the best shooter on the team with a 43.0% accuracy and a steady 2.0 three-pointers per game. Towns’ impact transcends the traditional role of a big man; it’s a symphony of precision and versatility that transforms the Timberwolves’ offense. As long as Towns makes his outside shots, he will be a candidate to make the All-Star Team.

On the other end of the spectrum, Shake Milton, navigating a challenging 24.4% accuracy with 1.9 attempts per game, charts a different course in the Timberwolves’ strategic narrative. As a potential offensive spark off the bench, Milton’s value is not from the three-point line as he is posting 5.7 points and 1.5 assists per game on only 15.4 minutes per game.

New Orleans Pelicans

Best 3-PT Shooter: Matt Ryan – 47.1%, 2.5 3PM

Worst 3-PT Shooter: Dyson Daniels – 23.9%, 0.7 3PM

Matt Ryan surprisingly emerges as the virtuoso of three-point symphonies, painting the perimeter with a scintillating 47.1% accuracy and a robust 2.5 three-pointers per game. Beyond the arc, Ryan’s ability to stretch defenses and capitalize on scoring opportunities makes the offense very interesting to follow because the player has only started one game this season out of 13 appearances.

On the flip side, Dyson Daniels, navigating a challenging 23.9% accuracy, crafts a different verse in the Pelicans’ strategic melody. The 20-year-old point guard will only get better with time as he is averaging 6.4 points, 4.4 rebounds, and 2.9 assists per game this season in his second year in the league. No doubt, the future in New Orleans is bright as long as Zion Williamson stays committed to being a superstar player for the team.

New York Knicks

Best 3-PT Shooter: Jalen Brunson – 45.8%, 3.1 3PM

Worst 3-PT Shooter: Julius Randle – 30.3%, 1.6 3PM

In the concrete jungle of New York, Jalen Brunson steps into the limelight as the Knicks’ premier three-point shooter even when he has to handle a heavy burden on offense. Brunson’s impact is beyond the realm of statistics; it’s a tapestry of precision and playmaking that transforms the Knicks’ offensive narrative. This season, Brunson is posting 25.5 points and 5.9 assists per game.

On a contrasting note, Julius Randle, navigating a 30.3% accuracy, charts a different course in the Knicks’ strategic narrative. Despite three-point shooting challenges, Randle’s value lies in his versatility and leadership. The big man is averaging 22.4 points, 9.4 rebounds, and 5.3 assists per game so his shooting has not taken away from his shooting numbers per se.

Oklahoma City Thunder

Best 3-PT Shooter: Cason Wallace – 52.0%, 1.1 3PM

Worst 3-PT Shooter: Shai Gilgeous-Alexander – 32.4%, 1.0 3PM

The No. 10 pick in the 2023 NBA Draft, Cason Wallace emerges as the lightning rod of three-point precision as he is making his outside shoots at a high level. Wallace’s impact is more than statistical; it’s a thunderclap of precision and youthful exuberance that transforms the Thunder’s offensive landscape. Wallace is actually posting 7.2 points per game on 58.3% from the field and 52.0% from three, so he should probably be taking more shots when he is playing.

Despite being the best player on the team, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, navigating a 32.4% accuracy, weaves a different narrative in the Thunder’s strategic tapestry. Despite modest three-point shooting, Gilgeous-Alexander’s value extends beyond the arc because he is posting 30.7 points per game on 54.2% from the floor. Hopefully, Gilgeous-Alexander can get back to the 34.6% average in his career and potentially usurp that.

Orlando Magic

Best 3-PT Shooter: Joe Ingles – 40.7%, 1.0 3PM

Worst 3-PT Shooter: Jonathan Issac – 25.0%, 0.6 3PM

Even if Jalen Suggs and Paolo Banchero are each shooting at least 38.0% from three, Joe Ingles is the best shooter on the team with a solid 40.7% accuracy and a measured 1.0 three-pointers per game. The savvy veteran has appeared in 24 games so far and is draining at least one three every time he is on the court.

Jonathan Isaac, with 11 games played in three seasons before this year, is navigating a challenging 25.0% accuracy. The forward’s true value lies in his defensive prowess and versatility. The Magic may strategically deploy Isaac’s shot-blocking and perimeter defense, leveraging his unique skill set while addressing the nuances of his three-point game.

Philadelphia 76ers

Best 3-PT Shooter: Marcus Morris – 54.3%, 1.1 3PM

Worst 3-PT Shooter: Furkan Korkmaz – 26.3 %, 0.3 3PM

A veteran who was acquired in the James Harden trade, Marcus Morris is nailing an astounding 54.3% accuracy and a measured 1.1 three-pointers per game on almost 2.0 attempts per game. Morris not only stretches defenses but also exemplifies the 76ers’ commitment to surrounding their stars with sharpshooters for sustained success although he is 34 years old and his future is in doubt going forward.

On a contrasting note, Furkan Korkmaz, navigating a challenging 26.3% accuracy, charts a different course in the 76ers’ strategic narrative. Despite three-point shooting challenges, Korkmaz’s value lies in his energy and scoring ability off the bench. Korkmaz nailed 39.1% of his threes last year so it is expected his efficiency will increase at some point.

Phoenix Suns

Best 3-PT Shooter: Kevin Durant – 48.0%, 2.3 3PM

Worst 3-PT Shooter: Keita Bates-Diop – 25.0%, 0.5 3PM

For the title-contending Phoenix Suns, Kevin Durant steps into the spotlight as the Suns’ premier three-point maestro. Durant not only stretches defenses but also exemplifies the Suns’ commitment to acquiring elite talent to complement their existing core for sustained success. Durant is posting 30.7 points per game and his efficiency has been off the charts all over the court (51.8% FG, 48.0% 3-PT FG, 88.0% FT).

On the flip side, Keita Bates-Diop, navigating a challenging 25.0% accuracy, is not shooting the ball well. Bates-Diop’s value lies in his defensive prowess and versatility so his marksmanship is not supposed to be well-regarded right now. There are doubts about Phoenix’s bench and seeing Bates-Diop’s percentages might prove that worry to be true.

Portland Trail Blazers

Best 3-PT Shooter: Jerami Grant – 40.7%, 2.5 3PM

Worst 3-PT Shooter: Jabari Walker – 25.0%, 0.5 3PM

With Damian Lillard gone in Portland, Jerami Grant emerges as the Trail Blazers’ premier three-point artisan, crafting the perimeter with a polished 40.7% accuracy and a prolific 2.5 three-pointers per game. The forward is an incredibly effective two-way wing player and is handling the role of the team’s veteran very well so far and his shooting has placed him on the map for many contending teams needing a new starter.

Despite the three-point shooting challenges he is facing, Jabari Walker’s value lies in his potential and athleticism. The 21-year-old who was the No. 57 overall pick in the 2022 NBA Draft has received more minutes than he expected, and he is posting 7.4 points and 5.0 rebounds per game in 24 appearances for a rebuilding side.

Sacramento Kings

Best 3-PT Shooter: Malik Monk – 42.7%, 2.8 3PM

Worst 3-PT Shooter: Davion Mitchell – 27.3%, 0.7 3PM

As a sixth man for the up-and-coming Sacramento Kings, Malik Monk steps into the limelight as the Kings’ premier three-point maestro, illuminating the perimeter with a commendable 42.7% accuracy and a prolific 2.8 three-pointers per game. Beyond the arc, Monk not only stretches defenses but also symbolizes the Kings’ commitment to injecting dynamic talents into their roster for sustained success and he has done a great job this season (15.0 points per game).

On a contrasting note, backup point guard Davion Mitchell, navigating a challenging 27.3% accuracy, crafts a different chapter in the Kings’ strategic narrative. Mitchell is regarded highly for his defensive tenacity and playmaking ability but a guard will need to make his three-point shots to have a true impact in the modern NBA.

San Antonio Spurs

Best 3-PT Shooter: Doug McDermott – 47.0%, 1.8 3PM

Worst 3-PT Shooter: Victor Wembanyama – 27.8%, 1.4 3PM

Doug McDermott has always been an elite sharpshooter on the court even if he can’t create shots for himself. As long as he is open, McDermott is elite because his shots swish through the basket with relative ease as he has perfect form and an excellent arc. There is a reason why the Spurs want McDermott to appear in 22 games.

It won’t be a long-term fact that Victor Wembanyama is the least productive three-point shooter for the San Antonio Spurs. The likely favorite for the Rookie of the Year award, Wembanyama is dominating on both ends of the court (19.0 points, 10.9 rebounds per game) considering he is 20 years old but his shooting will need to improve in order for defenses to respect him a little more.

Toronto Raptors

Best 3-PT Shooter: OG Anunoby – 39.0%, 2.5 3PM

Worst 3-PT Shooter: Jalen McDaniels – 16.7%, 0.3 3PM

There is a clear reason why OG Anunoby is one of the hottest targets in the trade market right now and it is because he is an elite defender and an excellent three-point shooter. The 6’7” swingman not only plays passing lanes (steals leader in 2023) but can stay in front of most offensive superstars in the half-court.

Jalen McDaniels was taken No. 52 overall in the 2019 NBA Draft and has not found a rhythm in terms of a long-term situation, but he has appeared in 16 games this season while posting only 16.7% from three. McDaniels is attempting over one three-pointer per game but is not making them consistently.

Utah Jazz

Best 3-PT Shooter: Kelly Olynyk – 43.2%, 0.8 3PM

Worst 3-PT Shooter: Jordan Clarkson – 29.5%, 1.6 3PM

Kelly Olnyk is a unique big man because he can make his outside shots very well but can also score inside and use his size to be effective around the rim. Olynyk is making over 43% of his three-point shots, even if he attempts close to two per game. Considering his efficiency, the big man should probably continue taking shots from deep.

Jordan Clarkson is not one of the worst shooters in terms of effectiveness but in terms of efficiency. The guard is only making 29.5% of his shots, which won’t cut it if he is attempting over five per game. The Jazz only have one player making at least 40% of his threes (Olynyk) and that is why their offense has been poor this season (22nd) compared to other teams.

Washington Wizards

Best 3-PT Shooter: Bilal Coulibaly – 43.5%, 1.3 3PM

Worst 3-PT Shooter: Mike Muscala – 25.0%, 0.4 3PM

Rather big-name shooters such as Jordan Poole, Kyle Kuzma, or Danilo Gallinari are not shooting the ball at the best level right now, that title belongs to the No. 7 overall pick in the 2023 NBA Draft, Bilal Coulibaly. The Frenchman is an elite shooter as he is making one per game and will likely continue spacing the floor as he gets more experience.

The 6’10” big man is a great shooter in terms of percentages because he nailed 39.1% last season and averages a career 37.7% from deep. This season, Muscala is having a poor season because he is only making 25.0% of his threes even though he is attempting 1.7 per game.
