Many fans pointed and laughed at the Clippers brass when they handed Kennard a four-year $64 million contract last summer but he's been their most reliable outside threat. The Australian is averaging a league-best 2.6 catch-and-shoot threes per game at a conversion rate of 42.9%. But Mills has been lights out for Brooklyn this season, averaging a career-high 13.2 points per game and hitting 3.2 3-pointers per game at a 41.4% clip. If you had told me before the season that a Nets player would be on this list and it wouldn't be Joe Harris, Kyrie Irving, Kevin Durant, or the recently-jettisoned James Harden, I would have been skeptical. He drains his catch-and-shoot threes at a ridiculous 47.4% rate and his strong fundamentals and short elevation on his shot should help him get plenty of shots off.Ĭovers NBA All-Star Weekend betting analysis VanVleet is second in the NBA in 3-point shots made per game with 4.0 (trailing only Curry) and has a 40.1 3PT%. He also struggled when he took part in this contest two years ago, finishing with the lowest score of the night at just 15. And while he nails 3.0 three-pointers per game this season on 7.8 attempts, he typically gets his shots off the dribble and averages just one 3-point attempt per game in catch-and-shoot situations. That said, his career-high 38.3 3PT% this season is lower than most of the other guys on the list. Young is one of the league's brightest young stars and is willing to pull up from anywhere.
