Three-point shooting has become the most important skill in the modern NBA. Teams that shoot well from three consistently outperform those that do not. The players at the top of this list provide spacing that elevates their entire team's offense. Players like Kevin Durant and Stephen Curry exemplify what it means to lead in this category.
League average is about 36%. Above 38% is good. Above 40% is excellent. Above 42% on significant volume is elite. Stephen Curry's career 42.6% on high volume is unprecedented.
Yes. A player shooting 45% on 2 attempts per game is less impressive than one shooting 40% on 8 attempts. Volume shooters face tighter defenses and take more difficult shots, making their percentages more meaningful.
