3 pointers are no longer part of the game – it teeth game. From 2024-25, 139 players hit at least 100 triples, with more players launched from DEEP than ever before. It’s a massive leap from just 7 in 2000. Officially a league of shooting games, this year’s leaderboard has proven by combining familiar legends with a surprising new face.
Let’s take a look at this Top 10 deep threats This season, we’re ranked and ready to go with a total of 3 pointers.
1. Anthony Edwards – 320 3pm (Timberwolves)
year: 23 | Games Played: 78
The new king of the Ark. Edwards closed the season with a 43-pointer explosion, extending seven triples to first place with one three-pointer. It was the first time he’d fallen below 300 in a season, only 23 years old, and perhaps not the last.
2. Malik Beasley – 319 3pm (piston)
year: 28 | Games Played: 82
The Pistons shocked everyone, and Beasley was the main reason. He played all the games, made the most of a few minutes and drilled 3.9 trills per night despite an average of less than 30 minutes. Volume, efficiency, durability – Fantasy Gold.
3. Stephen Curry – 311 3pm (Warrior)
year: 37 | Games Played: 70
What should I say? Curry is still rewriting the record book. He passed a career 3 of 4,000 this year and is now over 300 in a season. Six times – No one has done it multiple times.
4. Derrick White – 265 3pm (Celtics)
year: 30 | Games Played: 75
From defensive role players to three-point machines, White’s rise was wild. He shot 38% from deep, filling up the stats sheet all over. Quietly, one of Boston’s most important works is year-round.
5. Payton Pritchard – 255 3pm (Celtics)
year: 26 | Games Played: 79
Bench players rarely appear on leaderboards like this, but Pritchard is not your average sanctuary. He shot 41% burnt from the deep, dropping almost four times the triple of the game in just 28 minutes. The 6th Man of the Year? Absolutely a mix
6. Tyler Hero – 251 3pm (heat)
year: 25 | Games Played: 72
There’s no Jimmy, no problem. Hero stepped into the lead role, earning a career-high across the board, including Downtown. With 23.9 PPG and 5.5 APG, this was his breakout moment as Miami’s offensive engine.
7. Jason Tatum – 250 3pm (Celtics)
year: 26 | Games Played: 76
The Celtics had three players on this list. Tatum remains the anchor of the team, and his three-point growth already adds another layer to the elite all-round game. A career-best deep shooting in a career-best season.
8. Zach Lavine – 239 3pm (King)
year: 29 | Games Played: 74
Labine was quickly adjusted after the midseason moved to Sacramento. His three-point volume was strong and he quietly acquired a new career. He may be known for his dunks, but don’t sleep with a stroke outside.
T9. James Harden – 235 3pm (Clippers)
year: 35 | Games Played: 71
Return to the veterinary form. Harden’s all-around game remained elite and his long-distance consistency did not diminish. He is now second and second in 3 seconds at 3,175, but he’s still strong.
T9. Jordan Pool – 235 3pm (Wizard)
year: 25 | Games Played: 77
Say what you want about the wizard, but the pool has appeared. He set the points, assists and a new personal best you guessed to 3 seconds. The labels for volume shooters are sticky, but the growth is authentic.
Final takeout:
- Three of the top seven shooters were the Celtics.
- All players in the top 10 hit in 230 3 seconds.
- Two bench players split the top five (Beasley, Pritchard).
- Curry remains dominant, but the new wave is here.
This list isn’t just a stats sheet, it’s a snapshot of how the league continues to evolve. And if you’re a fantasy manager? It’s better to start by targeting a 3-point volume target, as the title depends.
