During Korver’s all-star season with the Hawks, he shot an insane 49.2% on 6 attempts per game over 75 games. Similarly, Redick shot 47.5% on 5.6 attempts per over 75 games and Joe Harris’ 20-21 shot 47.5% on 6.4 attempts over 69 games.
Other seasons to consider:
Novak 11-12: 47.2%, 5.2 attempts despite only 19 minutes per game, 54 games
Duncan Robinson 19-20: 44.6% on 8.3 attempts over 73 games
Kapono 06-07: 51.4% on 3.1 attempts, 67 games
Kennard 22-23: 49.4% on 4.6 attempts, 59 games with two teams
Buddy 22-23: 42.5% on 8.5 attempts over 80 games
Nash 07-08: 47%, 4.7 attempts, 81 games
Joe Johnson 04-05: 47.8% on 4.5 attempts, all 82 games
Klay 14-15: 44%, 7.1 attempts, 77 games
Ray Allen 01-02: 43.4%, 7.7 attempts, 69 games
Reggie Miller 96-97: 42.7%, 6.6 attempts, 81 games
Kerr 89-90: 50.7%, 1.8 attempts, 21 mpg, 78 games
Lillard 19-20: 40.1%, 10.2 attempts per game, 66 games
Harden 18-19: 36.8% on a ridiculous 13.2 attempts over 78 games. Only season ever with 1000+ attempts, pacing Curry’s 15-16 by 142 attempts
Eric Gordon 14-15: 44.8% on 5.2 attempts over 61 games
Lillard in 2020 easily.
40% on 10 three point attempts per game. Hitting every type of shot imaginable(off the dribble, catch and shoot, deep threes, etc)
To this day, only Curry and Lillard have done 40% on 10 3PA per game iirc
Lillard is kind of a weird one. His percentages have never been too outrageously awesome when they are just listed as a 3-point attempt, but you pull up his shot chart and see he’s doing it on extremely difficult shots.
This is how I feel about Trae Young and why I think LaMelo is going to blow people away this year.
Klay last year shot a higher percentage on more attempts. 2020 Duncan Robinson shot 4.5% higher on only 2 fewer attempts. Sure Dame has the difficulty argument but I wouldn’t say “easily”.
Klay just shot 41% on 10 3pa as well
