Power Ranking the NBA's top 3-point shooters: Is Duncan Robinson among the elite?
By Brennan Sims
5. Luka Doncic, Dallas Mavericks
Stats: 38% on 9.9 3PA
Another playmaker who usually wouldn't sit atop a 3-point list. Luka Doncic is a sensational talent, but his shit has been up and down throughout his career. He's an unstoppable force when he gets going, and other times, you wonder why he took that sidestep three so early in the shot clock.
However, Doncic is getting it done this year. He's always been a high-volume guy with meh efficiency. He's up to 38% currently. That's impressive, considering his shot diet. He's still shooting plenty of stepbacks down in the big D. Most of Luka's buckets are self-created.
Getting up that many self-generated threes while setting the table for your teammates is taxing, but Luka is special. His olè defense does perserve energy for offense, but the work he's putting in isn't easy. I don't expect his hot to continue to fall this arrurately as the season progresses, but these are the current 3-point power rankings. Doncic has done enough to crack the list.
The Mavericks, as a whole, are shooting above average (37%). Their primary shooter kicks off our honorable mentions list.
