Shooting at least 200 three-pointers in a single season has been a big problem for many players in the past, and even those who are good at three-pointers have difficulty shooting more than 200 three-pointers in a season. However, in the active small-ball era, with the acceleration of the pace of the game, the heavy use of three-point tactics, for the vast majority of players with good shooting ability, hitting more than 200 three-pointers in a single season is not a very difficult thing, they all have the ability to hit multiple three-pointers in the game, and when they find the feel of shooting in the game, they can hit a series of three-point shots. And this season there are a lot of players who have performed very well outside the three-point line, they have hit a lot of three-pointers, and their personal performances are very good. The following author will take you to take a look at the top 10 rankings of three-point shooting this season, and see which players appear on this list.
