It is a trend that was mastered by the Golden State Warriors and one they will need to continue dominating if they want to be NBA champions once again. The dynasty was built on 3-point shooting (as well as many other things) and will be rebuilt by it once again.
The Golden State Warriors have a roster full of marksmen but who will lead the team in 3-point shooting during the 2021-22 NBA season.
Even without one-half of the Splash Brothers, the Warriors managed to finish top-three in the NBA last season for a total of 3-pointers. They nailed 1,048 total deep balls, placing as one of just seven teams to break into the thousands.
The Warriors didn’t just shoot a bunch of 3-pointers, however. They ranked as the ninth most efficient shooting team in the league despite having the fifth highest volume. This is an important distinction that has always separated the Dubs from the pack.
Still, with Klay Thompson set to miss a chunk of the season once again, who is going to lead the 3-point surge this season? Some new faces, as well as developing ones, will likely jump to the top for Golden State next year.
