The Best Three-Point Shooters in the NBA
Three pointers made is usually a very important stat in fantasy basketball. With that in mind, here’s a look at the best three-point shooters in the NBA by position.
C Al Harrington, Golden State Warriors
Fitting perfectly into Don Nelson’s offense, Al Harrington can play center and can also drain the outside shot. For big immobile centers, Harrington is a matchup nightmare. As gets morn comfortable in Nelson’s system, Harrington should continue to get better and better.
PF Rashard Lewis, Orlando Magic
With Hedo Turkoglu staring at small forward, Rashard Lewis has spent a majority of the season at power forward. Lewis was signed to a mega contract in the offseason and has helped the Magic become one of the better teams in the Eastern Conference. Although he hasn’t been dominant this year, Lewis has been a marksman from deep.
SF Peja Stojakovic, New Orleans Hornets
When Chris Paul is looking for an open shooter, the one he hopes to find wide open is Peja Stojakovic. Stojakovic has long been one of the best shooters in the NBA. This season, he’s currently leading the NBA in three-pointers made per game. That alone has made him a valuable commodity in the fantasy world.
SG Jason Richardson, Charlotte Bobcats
Coming over from the Golden State Warriors in a trade, Jason Richardson has lived up to expectations. He’s arguably having his best season to date in his career and a lot of the damage he’s doing is from the perimeter. In college at Michigan State, a lot of people questioned his outside shooting. Nobody questions that anymore.
PG Baron Davis, Golden State Warriors
When Baron Davis wants to shoot a three-pointer, he’s going to find a way to get an open look. The Dallas Mavericks are still having nightmares from last year in the playoffs when Davis killed them with his outside shooting stroke. This season, Davis is having a great season and is shooting it well from beyond the arc.

The best 3 point shooter is Larry Bird. If you looked at his statistics then you would see why he is the best three-point shooter. I mean c’mon, Baron Davis and Jason Richardson!?!?! Pathetic excuses.
