Grayson Allen is currently shooting 48.2% from three on 5.9 threes per game

  • March 23, 2024


This got me thinking: What are the top 10 3-point shooting seasons of all time? Limit one per player as Steph could claim almost every spot.

  3. Korver drained 49.2% on 6 3pa/g in 14-15 season, and was shooting 52.8.% on 5.8 per game by the all star break(with a 73.6% ts%), was good enough to earn him an all star nod

  4. JJ Redick (2015-16 Clippers) – 47.5% on 5.6 attempts

    Joe Harris (2020-21 Nets) – 47.5% on 6.4 attempts

  5. By %? Just look it up

    By total makes? Just look it up

    By some other metric? Steph, Klay, Harden, Dame, PG, Buddy. You’d think Ray and Reggie would be there but the game is different today.

  6. Luke Kennard last season went 49.4% from 3 on 4.6 attempts including 24 games after being traded to the Grizzlies at 54% from 3 on 5.7 attempts

  8. And they’re still not good while getting an out of body experience from a role player. Yeah, suns are in for a tough go

  11. 2019-2020 Lillard, he shot over 40% on 10.2 3s a game. He hit every type of shot imaginable(off the dribble, pull up 3, catch and shoot, deep threes, logo 3s etc). Also he was the clear cut first option on his team and received lots of defensive attention. Also here’s a graph I made of the top 25 seasons by 3PM and 3 Point percentage: https://imgur.com/a/YTjexZA

  12. Luke Kennard has shot .460 from downtown on 5 3PTA per game over the past *4 seasons*, and has led the league in 3PT% in 2 of those seasons. Yet, comparatively, nobody really cares about him outside if his own team’s fans.

  13. Dude has been hooping. I think he’s on a min now but I see someone offering him a 65/4 deal

  16. Since no one else will, I’ll give a nod to Glen Rice, 96-97 season, dude was on fire from all over. 47% from 3, 3rd in the league in scoring. Never forget.

  20. Got no numbers ..but I recall Detlef Schrrmpf having a crazy accurate season for the sonics one year

  24. 2016 Steph clears everybody. 45.4% on 11.2 attempts per game. The ultimate combination of efficiency and volume 3 point shooting.

  25. I think Curry’s 2021 season is oddly and ironically underrated in a sense. We talk so much about his 2015-2016 season. Which is insane no doubt. 402 threes at a 45.4% rate will never be done again. Hell, 402 threes at any rate will never ever happen again. Literally nobody will ever have 400 threes in a season ever again. But Steph in 2021 was just more insane personally. Dude had a ymca roster that went 15-50 the season before and flipped them to 39-33 and would have been a playoff team had he not gotten injured and those bums fell to the play-in. 32.0 points a game and 5.35 threes per game at a 42.1% rate. Dude had 337 threes in just 63 games. 5.35 threes per game scaled to an 82 game season is 439 threes. Had 7 games with 10+ threes. And 4 of them happened in a 5 game stretch. 2014-2019 Steph had a great supporting cast. 2021 Steph had one of the worst supporting casts of all time and learned how to break defenses on his own with no second or third or any other option and no spacing. You put 2021 Steph in 2016 and that season is potentially even more insane.
