The best shooter in the NBA

Shooting is more important than ever in the NBA. Almost 40% of shots are now 3-point attempts, and players who combine volume and efficiency as shooters are more revered.

With a maximum of 14 games left in the NBA season, it’s the perfect time to take a look at the best shooter in the NBA this season, from those who can knock it down from anywhere to those who specialize in the kind of shots teams seek out in the modern NBA.

Stephen Curry is still the best overall shooter in pro basketball and it’s not particularly close. This season, Curry led a banged-up Golden State Warriors team back into playoff contention. While ultimately the Warriors fell short, Curry’s incredible shooting performances kept them afloat most of the year.
