2. Klay Thompson, 95 3pt Rating
Despite missing 2 full NBA seasons, Klay Thompson is still the 2nd best 3-point shooter in this year's 2K edition.
His 69 point performance in 29 minutes and 37 points in a single quarter is evidence of that. Klay still holds the record for most of the 3's made in a single match (14 against the Bulls in 2018).
The 5x All-Star is a career 41.9% shooter from beyond the arc. Klay, who has missed 2 NBA seasons due to catastrophic injuries, is eager to make his comeback this season. Thus reuniting the splash brothers for the first time since the 2019 NBA Finals.
3. Joe Harris, 90 3pt Rating
Despite a poor playoff performance, Joe Harris of the Brooklyn Nets is still a knockdown shooter.
Up to this day, he's scored a total of 112 triples and is on pace to break his personal best of 183 in a season. Also, he's topping his career-high of 47.4% shooting by a long stretch.
The 2019 three-point shootout contest champion led the league in a three-point percentage in 2019 and 2021, shooting at a 47% clip in both seasons.
4. Seth Curry, 90 3pt Rating
You'd probably expect to see Stephen Curry and not Seth Curry on this list a couple of years ago. Then again, the younger brother of the Curry household has made a name for himself for being one of the most proficient snipers ever to set foot on an NBA hardwood.
For the past five seasons, Seth Curry has shot above 40% from three. The shooters' touch followed him into the playoffs as he shot 50% from three for the 76ers, knocking down 2.0 three-pointers per game.
5. Duncan Robinson, 90 3pt Rating
A relatively new entrant in the 3-point shooters league, Duncan Robinson has made quite a mark from beyond the arc. The 27-year old definitely qualifies as an elite scorer.
During his second season in 2019-20, the guard hit 44.6 percent of his threes on 8.3 attempts per game, emerging as an important member of an NBA Finals team.
The undrafted star from the Miami Heat has drawn comparisons from Klay Thompson because of his spot-up ability. He is the fastest player to reach 500 career three-pointers, doing so in 152 games. He was an impressive 40.8% from beyond the arc in the 2020-21 season.
Except for the best 3-point shooters, we will release the best players, best WNBA players, best dunkers, and more. To view them, please click here.
