Klay Thompson

Klay Thompson currently has the best three point percentage in the NBA. He is shooting an incredible 45.4% from three this season. Not only is he shooting a high percentage, but he is also averaging a career-high 4.8 three-pointers per game. Thompson is a big reason why the Warriors are one of the best teams in the NBA.

Regular season

In the National Basketball Association (NBA), the three-point field goal (3PFG) percentage is used to measure the percentage of three-point field goals made by a player. The stat is widely considered to be one of the most important outside shooting statistics in basketball, as it provides valuable information on a player’s ability to shoot from long range.

Klay Thompson of the Golden State Warriors currently holds the best 3PFG percentage in the NBA, with a percentage of 45.4%. He is followed by Stephen Curry (44.3%), Kyle Korver (43.5%), and JJ Redick (42.9%).

Playoffs

Klay Thompson is currently in his 7th season in the NBA, all with the Golden State Warriors. He is a 3-time NBA champion and 2-time All-Star. During the 2015-16 season, he set the NBA record for most three-pointers made in a single season with 276. In the 2018 Western Conference Finals, he set an NBA record for most three-pointers made in a single game with 11.

Kyle Korver

In the 2015-16 season, Korver shot 53.6 percent on catch-and-shoot threes, per SportVU player tracking. That was the best mark in the league among players who attempted at least two such threes per game, and it was a significant improvement over his previous career best of 49.2 percent, set in 2009-10.

Regular season

In the regular season, Kyle Korver has the best 3pt percentage in the NBA. He has played for the Atlanta Hawks, Chicago Bulls, Cleveland Cavaliers, and Utah Jazz. Korver is a small forward and shooting guard. He was drafted in the second round of the 2003 NBA draft by the New Jersey Nets.

Playoffs

Playoffs are a time when the best players in the NBA step up their game. They know that this is their time to shine and they take advantage of it. Kyle Korver is one of those players.

Korver has played in 112 playoff games and has averaged 10.9 points per game. He has shot 49 percent from the field, 45 percent from three-point range, and 89 percent from the free throw line.

Korver’s three-point percentage is the best in NBA history for players with at least 100 three-pointers made in the playoffs. He is ahead of greats like Ray Allen, Reggie Miller, and Stephen Curry.

Korver’s shooting percentage was a big reason why the Cleveland Cavaliers won the NBA Championship in 2016. He was a key player off the bench and helped space the floor for LeBron James and Kyrie Irving.

If Korver can continue to shoot well in the playoffs, he will go down as one of the best shooters in NBA history.
