Ok, after watching the NBA Rising Stars & the 3-Point Shootout, I think I’ve finally arrived at Acceptance Avenue. The NBA is a shooters league now, and it’s Not my era anymore. Everyone (shit, feels like everyone) fires three’s like there is no tomorrow, and that’s what it’s going to be for the foreseeable future.
I still care about shot selection, and percentages, so good luck trying to make me waver on that.
I put together a list of NBA Marksmen, who not only knocks them down, but are among the most accurate:
Qualifications: 250 three attempts or better + accuracy (over 40%)
Otto Porter
Attempts: 254
Makes: 118
Percentage: 46.5%
Kyle Korver
Attempts: 260
Makes: 117
Percentage: 45%
J.J. Redick
Attempts: 330
Makes: 139
Percentage: 42.1%
Klay Thompson

Attempts: 431
Makes: 182
Percentage: 42.2%
C.J. Miles
Attempts: 266
Makes: 111
Percentage: 41.7%
Kyle Lowery

Attempts: 444
Makes: 185
Percentage: 41.7%
Nick Young
Attempts: 356
Makes: 147
Percentage: 41.3%
C.J. McCollum
Attempts: 336
Makes: 138
Percentage: 41.1%
Steph Curry
Attempts: 537
Makes: 220
Percentage: 41%

The Wizards are going to have to make a decision on Porter after this year. It will be interesting to see what he can command on the market or whether the Wiz will pony up the cash to keep him. He’s having his best season by far this year.

I personally think, that the will keep him. They will pay him. The Wizards need to bolster that bench though. What you think, Dave?

Right, and with average talented getting cashed out last year, he has the best 3 point percentage out there, so he actually has something to hang his hat on. The Wiz gave all that money to Beal, so I wonder how that’s going to play out. I’m hella interested!

Kyle Korver has always been deadly. He is one of those shooters that, when they play against your team, and you see him spotting up for a three-pointer … you say “fuccccccckkk” lol
